Complex Systems, Dynamics & Design KEY NOTE Professor Jeffrey Johnson, Principal Investigator: ECiD2 Research Cluster.
2
Complexity, Dynamics & Design designed systems can be complex
3
Complexity, Dynamics & Design designed systems can be complex design processes can be complex
4
Complexity, Dynamics & Design designed systems can be complex design processes can be complex design environment can be complex
5
Complexity, Dynamics & Design designed systems can be complex design processes can be complex design environment can be complex design - a complex cognitive social process
6
Complexity, Dynamics & Design Design involves assembles parts into wholes predicting the behaviour of the whole
7
Complexity, Dynamics & Design Design involves assembles parts into wholes predicting the behaviour of the whole dynamics
8
Complexity & Dynamics Traditional Science & Cassandra prediction & prescience
9
Complexity & Dynamics Traditional Science & Cassandra prediction & prescience Halleys Comet
10
Complexity & Dynamics Traditional Science & Cassandra prediction & prescience Halleys Comet Newtons Laws – a triumph for science
11
Complexity & Dynamics Traditional Science & Cassandra prediction & prescience Predictive science for engineering design
12
Complexity & Dynamics Traditional Science & Cassandra prediction & prescience Some systems: point prediction impossible
13
Complexity & Dynamics Traditional Science & Cassandra prediction & prescience How can the dynamics be designed & controlled?
14
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?
15
Complexity & Dynamics
16
Complex Systems & Prediction Dynamics emerge from interactions of many heterogeneous parts at many levels Trial and error not an option Must understand transitions
17
Complexity & Dynamics Complex Systems & Prediction t + t t + 2 t t + 3 t Now time horizon ?
18
Complexity & Dynamics Complex Systems & Prediction Now t + t t + 2 t t + 3 t time horizon ?
19
Complexity & Dynamics Complex Systems & Prediction Now t + t t + 2 t t + 3 t time horizon ? designing the future
20
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
21
Complexity & Dynamics Designing Complex Systems only politicians have the mandate & the money
22
Complexity & Dynamics Designing Complex Systems only politicians have the mandate & the money Complex Systems Scientists need to work with policy makers
23
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
24
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
