KI for Design of Complex Systems Different View of Complex Systems The world is complex;but does it have to be this bad? Many researchers have studied the subject of complexity as an inherited phenomena of existing or evolving systems E.g.,biological systems,economical systems,political systems,etc. However,the complexity of engineered systems are the results of designers'own (rather than Nature's) decisions made during the engineering design process Complex engineered systems are caused by designers'poor design decisions(i.e.,we made the world more complex!) Therefore,the best way to address complex engineered systems is to go directly to the root cause of complexity Axiom 1:making sound design decisions can result in less complex (hence better)engineered systems(and the World) Axiom 2:"Design Thinking"is required for sound design decisions Fall 2007 C Stephen Lu KAIST Study Design Thinking to Make Design of Complex Systems Simple

Design is a creative human process to generate artifacts What is Engineering Design? Engineering design is a socio-technical decision-making process to create technical artifacts that must be both functional, according to scientific knowledge,and purposeful,pertaining to human preferences What is Design Thinking (for engineering design)? Design thinking is a set of systematic mind-sets and principles that guides the designer's thought processes during their creation of functional and purposeful technical artifacts Design thinking is not about any specific design theory or methodology,but rather a prerequisite for the correct study and the effective practice of engineering design Fall 2007 Stephen Lu KAIST Study Design Thinking to Make Design of Complex Systems Simple 10
