Since its application to systems, emergence has been explained in terms of levels of observation. This approach has led to confusion, contradiction, incoherence and at times mysti...
A primary objective of this paper (as well as of this symposium) is to examine concepts from the field of complex systems that can be applied to systems engineering. In this paper ...
Distributed computing systems are becoming bigger and more complex. While the complexity of large-scale distributed systems has been acknowledged to be an important challenge, the...
