Complex systems science - the essential 21st Century science
The potential impact of this new Complex Systems Science appears in four ways (i) a better understanding of
many complex systems and their dynamics to support the pressing needs to engineer and manage complex
systems, e.g. cancer, multinational companies, drugs, transport, and climate change; (ii) better control of the
means of fabrication as dynamic complex socio-technical systems, e.g. new processes and materials, multi-site
factory production, and supply chain dynamics, (iii) a better understanding of the complex environment in
which engineered systems exist, e.g. regulation, ethics, markets; and (iv) a better understanding of the design,
engineering and management process which is often itself a creative complex multilevel complex human
system, capable of great successes but inherently liable to spectacular failures.
