For systems modelers, the starting point begins by focusing on what constitutes complexity and how to under- stand, model, and manage it. The English language fails to provide a succinct definitionofthetermcomplexityinoneshortorlongsentence.Thisisbecause each of the two words – “modeling and managing” – used in the title of this book has multiple connotations, interpretations, and associations of the term complexitydependingontheindividualsusingthetermsandthespecificcon- text inwhich they are used. Wedefineandmodelcomplexityinthisbookviatheinterdependenciesand interconnectedness (I-I) characterizing complex systems of systems (SoS) (Complex SoS). We further model and quantify the I-I by building on the shared/commonstatesandotheressentialentities(shareddecisions,resources, functions, policies, decision makers, stakeholders, and organizational setups) within and among the subsystems that, in their totality, constitute Complex SoS.Indeed,theabove,alongwithhierarchicaldecompositionandhigher-level coordination, encompass the essence of the modeling, theory, methodology, andpracticeespousedinthisbook.Webuildonthefactthatalloutputsfrom asystemarefunctionsofthestatesofthatsystemandthusalsoofthedecisions andallotherinputstothesystem.Thisfactisofparticularsignificancetomod- elingComplexSoS.Forexample,Chen(2012)offersthefollowingsuccinctdef- initionofstatevariable:“Thestatex(t )ofasystemattimet istheinformation o o att thattogetherwiththeinputu(t),fort≥t ,determinesuniquelytheoutput o o y(t) forall t≥t .” o viii Foreword Indeed,thestatesofasystemarecommonlyamultidimensionalvectorthat characterizes the system as a whole and plays a major role in estimating its future behavior for any given input. Thus, (i) the behavior of the states of the system as a function of time enables modelers to determine, under certain conditions,thesystem’sfuturebehaviorforanygiveninput,orinitiatingevent– and (ii) the shared states and other essential entities within and among the subsystems and systems constitute the essence of the multifarious attributes of the I-I characterizing Complex SoS. Thus, inmodeling Complex SoS, we exploit the I-I characterizing Complex SoSthataremanifestedviasharedstatesandotheressentialentitiesinmultiple ways. The following sample of modeling methodologies beyond Chapter 1 includes (i) decomposition and multilevel-hierarchical coordination (Chapters 2 and 4) with a primer on modeling risk and uncertainty in Part II of Chapter 2; (ii) hierarchical holographic modeling (HHM) (Chapter 3); (iii) multiple conflicting, competing, and noncommensurate goals and objec- tives and the associated tradeoffs (Chapter 5); (iv) hierarchical coordinated BayesianmodelingofComplexSoS(Chapter6);(v)hierarchical-multiobjective modelinganddecisionmakingofComplexSoS(Chapter7);(vi)modelingeco- nomicinterdependenciesamongComplexSoS(Chapter8);(vii)guidingprin- ciples for modeling and managing Complex SoS (Chapter 9); (viii) modeling cyber–physicalComplexSoS–fourcasestudies(Chapter10);(ix)globalsupply chainasComplexSoS(Chapter11);(x)understandingandmanagingtheorgan- izationaldimensionofComplexSoS(Chapter12);(xi)softwareengineering– thedriverofcyber–physicalComplexSoS(Chapter13);(xii)infrastructurepre- paredness for communities as Complex SoS (Chapter 14); and (xiii) modeling safety of highway Complex SoS via fault trees (Chapter 15).

Thetimeframehasalwaysbeenrecognizedasamajordriverofwhatweterm complexity.Thisisduetothefactthatallsystemscontinuetoevolve,emerge, and thuschange, whilethe capability of ourmodelingtools tokeep pacewith these changes continues to lag behind. Our inability to model the dynamic changes that characterize Complex SoS remains an impediment that charac- terizesandimpairsourmodelingandmanagingtheI-IcharacterizingComplex SoS. We embrace the fact that complexities cannot, by their essence and definition, be compounded, packaged, understood, or modeled via one “straightjacket” modeling schema. Rather, we have to keep building on what wehavelearnedfrompastcontributionsdevelopedbyotherscholars,research- ers,andpractitioners,andaugmentthispastknowledgeintoourcurrentthink- ing, thereby creating new and improved theories and methodologies.

Complexity, Interdependency, Interconnectedness, and Reinvention of Fault Trees Fordecadesengineersandscientistshaveexploredthemodelingpoweroffault trees in their quest to study and discover connections between two or among x Foreword several systems that may lead to catastrophic failure of safety-critical systems. The fundamental difference characterizing the previous use of fault trees and our present reinvention stems from the basic characteristics of the two approaches. In this book we investigate and identify the genesis of the I-I by exploring the shared/common states and other essential entities within the systemsandsubsystemsthatcompriseComplexSoS.Bydoingso,wealsodis- cover and quantify the genesis of potential failure of the entire Complex SoS, whether the interdependencies and interconnections are manifested by connections in series and/or in parallel. In this book we also benefit from decadesofexperiencethatengineersandscientistshavegainedfromtheintrin- sicpoweroffaulttrees.Furthermore,tomodelandimproveourunderstanding of the I-I that characterize Complex SoS, we have reinvented the use of fault trees via an innovative interpretation of the contributions that they offer systems modelers. We further exploit the I-I characterizing Complex SoS by tracing (via fault trees) prospective and inevitable failures due to theirinherentspecificconnectionsviasharedstatesand/orothersharedessen- tial entities. This process enables us to determine early in the modeling cycle “what not to do” during planning, design, and future decision making. By investigating the essence of the I-I characterizing Complex SoS, we can discover future failures that could be avoided. In the parlance of fault-tree analysis, the shared states and other essential entities are translated into systemsconnected inseriesorinparallel,ratherthanbeingseenascompletely independent.
