Complexity & Dynamics Traditional Science & Cassandra prediction & prescience Predictive science for engineering design
Complexity & Dynamics Traditional Science & Cassandra prediction & prescience Some systems: point prediction impossible
Complexity & Dynamics Traditional Science & Cassandra prediction & prescience How can the dynamics be designed & controlled?
Complexity & Dynamics Traditional Science & Cassandra prediction & prescience Dynamics and prediction in design ? Science versus pre-science: just knowing How can the dynamics be designed & controlled?
Complexity & Dynamics
Complex Systems & Prediction Dynamics emerge from interactions of many heterogeneous parts at many levels Trial and error not an option Must understand transitions
Complexity & Dynamics Complex Systems & Prediction t + t t + 2 t t + 3 t Now time horizon ?
Complexity & Dynamics Complex Systems & Prediction Now t + t t + 2 t t + 3 t time horizon ?
Complexity & Dynamics Complex Systems & Prediction Now t + t t + 2 t t + 3 t time horizon ? designing the future
Complexity & Dynamics Design as the Lab of Complex Systems map out possible futures from data make a change create artificial system observe what happens Experiments not replicable
Complexity & Dynamics Designing Complex Systems only politicians have the mandate & the money
Complexity & Dynamics Designing Complex Systems only politicians have the mandate & the money Complex Systems Scientists need to work with policy makers
Complexity & Dynamics Designing Complex Systems only politicians have the mandate & the money Complex Systems Scientists need to work with policy makers But they know nothing of design as process
Complexity & Dynamics Designing Complex Systems only politicians have the mandate & the money Complex Systems Scientists need to work with policy makers CS Scientists need to know about design …together we are designing the future
