Harnessing Complexity in Design
Large scale design problems involve complex systems. The complexity arises from the nature of the large interconnected systems and is escalated by the background, personal characteristics, and perspectives of the individuals working on the design team. It is important for designers to understand complexity and how complexity affects the understanding and prediction of system behavior. It is eve...
متن کاملHarnessing complexity in CSCW
We argue that socio-technical systems can be understood as complex adaptive systems, that is, systems containing component sub-systems interacting such that they co-evolve This viewpoint may allow us to understand more clearly the factors that underlie the complexities of socio-technical systems, and allows for a new approach to systems design predicated on unpredictable adaptive processes. Sys...
متن کاملComplexity Engineering Harnessing Emergent Phenomena as Opportunities for Engineering
Despite a lot of knowledge about complex systems the application of this knowledge to the engineering domain remains difficult. Efforts are scattered over many scientific and engineering disciplines. In this contribution we would like to motivate the union of these efforts by establishing complexity engineering as a discipline. We will motivate this initiative and show a few aspects that we con...

متن کاملCost and Complexity of harnessing Games with Payments
This article studies how a mechanism designer can influence games by promising payments to the players depending on their mutual choice of strategies. First, we investigate the cost of implementing a desirable behavior and present algorithms to compute this cost. Whereas a mechanism designer can decide efficiently whether strategy profiles can be implemented at no cost at all our complexity ana...
