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 SimpleDifferent View of Complex Systems Different View of Complex Systems The world is com plex; 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 Š 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 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!)
