Complex Systems Engineering Complex Systems Engineering The fundamental idea A complex system is a system in which phenomena emerge as a consequence of multiscale interaction among system components and their environments. Complex Systems Complex systems is a well established and highly interdisciplinary field of study. It includes the following sub-disciplines. Agent-based modeling Evolutionary computation Mathematical tools and techniques game theory, power-law system HOT, chaos analysis, … Scientific and industrial applications Complex systems have been studied primarily in academia—although there are increasingly many real-life applications. Systems Engineering Systems engineering, understood broadly, plays a role in policy analysis and planning capability assessment and need determination requirements, architecture, design, development, deployment, and operational insertion operation, maintenance, enhancement, evolution, re-purposing, and end-of-life transitioning. Systems engineering has been primarily a practitioner/program-manager discipline, consisting mainly of best practices—although it has begun to establish itself academically. The communities are still distinct So far, most work in the intersection has been at the application level. A formal coupling between the fields has not yet been formally and clearly established. The two fields have a lot to offer each other—and are beginning to come together. Academic: MIT’s ESD, USC programs, … FFRDCs: MITRE, RAND, Aerospace, … Conferences: CSER, SoSE, … … The fundamental idea in another form Engineering: the application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends. Yet there is no science to which Systems Engineering looks for its principles. Its body of knowledge consists mainly of best practices. System of systems: a paradigmatic example Traditional approaches have produced many closed, fragile, and rigid “stovepipe” systems. Must “optimize” for adaptability and flexibility, not
