Complexity and Simplicity: Putting Complexity Science in Perspective
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
As technical systems and social problems in modern society become ever more complex, many organizations are turning to what is commonly termed complexity science to find solutions. The problem many organizations face is that they frequently have no clear idea what they are trying to accomplish, no in-depth understanding of the nature, size and dimension of their problem, and only a limited understanding of what theoretical approaches and off-the-shelf analysis tools exist or are applicable to their particular problem. This paper examines the larger topic of complexity science, providing insight, and helping to place its promises in perspective.
