Introducing multiobjective complex systems

Decomposition and Coordination for Multiobjective Complex Systems

Complex systems are modeled as collections of multiobjective programs each representing a subproblem (a subsystem or component) of the overall system. The subproblems interact with each other in various ways adding to the complexity of the overall problem. Since the calculation of efficient sets of these complex systems presents a challenging problem, it is desirable to decompose the overall sy...

Introducing Complex Automata for Modelling Multi-Scale Complex Systems

We introduce Complex Automata, a generic methodology to model multi-scale complex systems. A Complex Automaton is a scalable hierarchical aggregation of Cellular Automata and agent-based models, each modelling components of the Complex System. The components represent a sub-system operating on its typical spatial and temporal scales. The concept of a scale map is introduced to identify componen...

Introducing Complex Sociotechnical Systems to First-and Second-Year Students

Retention of undergraduate engineering students remains a key challenge faced across the globe; in particular, the first two years of the required curriculum is often cited as a significant hurdle. Many students are attracted to engineering in order to solve important real-world problems. However, in the first two years, the majority of students find themselves in classes focused on the fundame...

Change Management ; Introducing Systems

The Introduction of anything related to systems architecting, such as methods or techniques, systems thinking, or role and task requires a change management strategy. We will discuss how to introduce these changes into an organization. Distribution This article or presentation is written as part of the Gaudí project. The Gaudí project philosophy is to improve by obtaining frequent feedback. Fre...
