Abstract:
The use of terms such as “Engineering Systems”, “System of systems” and others have been coming into greater use over the past decade to denote systems of importance but with implied higher complexity than for the term systems alone. This paper searches for a useful taxonomy or classification scheme for complex Systems. There are two aspects to this problem: 1) distinguishing between Engineering Systems (the term we use) and other Systems, and 2) differentiating among Engineering Systems. Engineering Systems are found to be differentiated from other complex systems by being human-designed and having both significant human complexity as well as significant technical complexity. As far as differentiating among various engineering systems, it is suggested that functional type is the most useful attribute for classification differentiation. Information, energy, value and mass acted upon by various processes are the foundation concepts underlying the technical types.

This thesis discusses an artistic method of engaging with complex systems. The engagements take the form of inserting a certain something (an object, a task, a conversational prompt, myself) into a complex system with well-defined and elaborate technical processes serving specific and declared goals. The insertion is not meant to interrupt, disrupt, or destroy the system. The inserted thing is foreign to the system and is often understood as unproductive or absurd by it. However, the system can digest and process the thing successfully and spit it out the same way it does with what the system is meant to and does take in every day. This insertion is an act of nesting in the biological sense-making a nest from concocting foreign materials with existing materials-where the thing inserted becomes an anchor or an entry point from which a particular network of existing knowledge and relations are drawn out and revealed. Then, rigorous observations about what is revealed are made; materials produced by these encounters (between the things inserted and the systems) are collected. This gesture of insertion is an attempt at understanding a complex system without abstraction, reduction, or simplification. It is not possible to "see the whole picture" of these complex systems. However, one could, nonetheless, engage with it and allow a part (perhaps arbitrary to the system) to speak to the whole. The projects presented in this thesis engage with the complex systems of nanoscale fabrication, campus building construction, synthetic biology, and imaging technologies in the sciences. These seemingly disparate fields are united by an investigation of how emerging science and technology challenge an understanding of what a person is and how a person understands, as well as an interest in the very costly infrastructure that supports the new developments.

Abstract:
Thesis (S.M. in Engineering and Management)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, System Design and Management Program, 2012.
Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 104-105).
Over recent years, the global marketplace and its consumers have developed a mutual recognition for the rising prominence of design that delivers high quality user experience. For the provider of products and services, such design has emerged as a critical differentiator that creates new opportunities for revenue and drives customer loyalty. For the consumer, design can often surpass commoditized technical specifications as a basis for making purchase decisions. Nevertheless, despite their best intentions, many organizations still fail to successfully integrate design strategies into their existing processes and culture. This research examines the critical factors that enable successful implementation of design strategies under current market conditions in a way that produces sustained customer loyalty and revenue. Methods utilized in this research include one-on-one interviews, online surveys, and comparative case studies to ensure proper balance and perspective. The interviews were conducted with design leaders at organizations such as Philips and Frog Design. They covered the role that design plays at organizations, including the conditions necessary for successful design strategies and the barriers that they generally face. Surveys conducted for this research examined the personal experiences of 120 managers, engineers, and designers on the development of consumer-facing products, services, and systems. The result of these methods was a series of findings that supports the notion that a holistic "systems-based" approach offers competitive advantages to organizations looking to successfully implement a design-oriented strategy. It is this perspective that allows organizations to realize solutions that balance business objectives, technical capabilities, and design principles to meet customer intentions. It is proposed by this thesis that a systems-based approach has become necessary due to the ever-converging nature of today's networked products and services, particularly in the consumer marketplace. This thesis concludes with a framework of methods and principles for conceiving and designing user experiences for a complex market of convergent products and services. The framework borrows methods from Systems Thinking, Design Thinking, and User Experience Design to create a singular process that provides the clarity and simplicity necessary for a user experience amidst the complexity of a system design process.

Abstract:
Fundamental laws of physics, although successful in explaining many phenomena observed in nature and society, cannot account for the behaviour of complex, non-Hamiltonian systems. Much effort has been devoted to better understanding the topological properties of these systems. Neither ordered nor disordered, these systems of high variability are found in many areas of science. Studies on sandpiles, earthquakes and lattice gases have all yielded evidence of complexity in the form of power law distributions. This scalefree characteristic is believed to be the hall-mark of complexity known as self-organised criticality. Systems in the self-organised critical state regulate themselves and are resistant to error and attacks. The aim of this thesis is to further current knowledge of complex systems by proposing and analysing three models of real systems. Statistical mechanics and numerical simulations are used to analyse these models. The first model mimics herd behaviour in social groups and encompasses growth and addition. It has been found that when the growth rate is fast enough, the group size distribution conforms to a power law. When the growth rate is slow, the system runs out of free agents in finite time. The second model aims to capture the basic empirical measurements from hospital waiting lists. This model illustrates how the power law distributions found in empirical studies might arise, but also indicates that these distributions are unlikely to be caused by the preferential behaviour of patients or physicians. The third model is a salary comparison model; the salary distributions of most of its variants are power laws. Both mean field and 1-d versions of the model are analysed, and differences between the two versions are identified by looking at the mean absolute difference between the salaries in each version.
