“…As a multidisciplinary domain, it has been used for everything, from energy and industrial systems, to weapon systems, transport systems, financial constructs (carbon trading), and myriad others (Katina et al, 2016). Baugh (2015) also convincingly argues that one driver of the complexity which SoSE can and does handle is that stemming from cross-border operation and governance of complex systems, given that national borders are natural jurisdictions separating different organizations, authorities, standards, philosophies, and acquisition processes in place, not to mention a long-term source of differentiation in how these systems are built-up.…”

Cyber diplomacy is an emerging field of study and practice focusing on transborder coordination between sovereign actors in order to address issues of collective importance related to the digitalization of society, emerging technologies, the threat environment, and other consequences emerging from these developments. This article analyzes cyber diplomacy from the perspective of Complex System Governance theory, which is a framework of thought focusing on the viability of systems-of-systems. Cyber diplomacy can be integrated into such a systemic perspective through its role in communication and coordination among integrated actors. This analysis paves the way for future research into cyber diplomacy, including through modelling and simulation.

“…In this definition, it is clear that coordination and integration are necessary to yield the capability beyond those of the constituent systems. However, coordination and integration are supplemented by elements of control (i.e., it permits the system to adapt and remain viable) and communication (i.e., a key instrument in system survivability and viability) [74]. However, there is a lack of information as to how 'coordination, control, communication, and integration' is accomplished for 'system-of-systems.'…”

“…Complex System Governance (CSG) is a methodological approach to improve system performance through purposeful design, execution, and evolution of essential metasystem functions [12,[74][75][76][77][78][79]. CSG emphasizes communication, control, coordination, and integration of complex systems through the effective performance of the metasystem functions.…”

The operating landscape of 21st century systems is characteristically ambiguous, emergent, and uncertain. These characteristics affect the capacity and performance of engineered systems/enterprises. In response, there are increasing calls for multidisciplinary approaches capable of confronting increasingly ambiguous, emergent, and uncertain systems. System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) is an example of such an approach. A key aspect of SoSE is the coordination and the integration of systems to enable ‘system-of-systems’ capabilities greater than the sum of the capabilities of the constituent systems. However, there is a lack of qualitative studies exploring how coordination and integration are achieved. The objective of this research is to revisit SoSE utility as a potential multidisciplinary approach and to suggest ‘governance’ as the basis for enabling ‘system-of-systems’ coordination and integration. In this case, ‘governance’ is concerned with direction, oversight, and accountability of ‘system-of-systems.’ ‘Complex System Governance’ is a new and novel basis for improving ‘system-of-system’ performance through purposeful design, execution, and evolution of essential metasystem functions.’

“…A possible approach for dealing with complexity in organizational setting is the application of emerging research of Complex System Governance. Complex System Governance is an emerging field, representing an approach to improve system performance through purposeful execution of design for and evolution of important metasystem roles [19,[88][89][90]. In this emerging field of CSG, the main roles include evolving and improving system performance essential functions enabling control, communication, coordination, and integration [19].…”

Emerging Risk Management in Industry 4.0: An Approach to Improve Organizational and Human Performance in the Complex Systems

et al. 2019

Industry 4.0 in the contemporary operating context carries important sources of complexity. This context generates both traditional risks and emerging risks that must be managed. The management of these risks includes both industrial risks and occupational risks, since they are heavily interlinked. The human factor can be considered the main link between both types of risks. Thus, understanding risks originating from human errors and organizational weaknesses as causes of accidents and other disruptions in complex systems requires elaborating sophisticated modeling approaches. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to propose an organizational and human performance approach to improve the emerging risk management linked to the complex systems, like as Human-Machine Interactions (HMI) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). To fulfill this objective, we first introduce the concept of emerging risk linked to human factor. Then, we introduce the concept of emerging risk management in the Industry 4.0 context. Under this complex context, we expose the concept considering the current models of risk management. Finally, we discuss how enhancing human and organizational performance can be achieved through risk management in complex systems linked to Industry 4.0. Therefore, we conclude that while Industry 4.0 brings numerous advantages, it must contend with emerging risks and challenges associated with organizational and human factors. These emerging risks include industrial risks as well as occupational risks. Moreover, the human factor aspect of Industry 4.0 is directly linked to industrial emerging and occupational emerging via context of operations. To cope with these new challenges, it is necessary to develop new approaches. One of such approaches is Complex System Governance. This approach is discussed along with the need for adequate organizational and human performance models dealing with, for example, experience from other domains such as nuclear, space, aviation, and petrochemical.
