This book investigates the characteristics of simple versus complex
systems, and what the properties of a cyber-physical system design
are that contribute to an effective implementation and make the
system understandable, simple to use, and easy to maintain. The
targeted audience is engineers, managers and advanced students who
are involved in the design of cyber-physical systems and are
willing to spend some time outside the silo of their daily work in
order to widen their background and appreciation for the pervasive
problems of system complexity. In the past, design of a
process-control system (now called cyber-physical systems) was more
of an art than an engineering endeavor. The software technology of
that time was concerned primarily with functional correctness and
did not pay much attention to the temporal dimension of program
execution, which is as important as functional correctness when a
physical process must be controlled. In the ensuing years, many
problems in the design of cyber-physical systems were simplified.
But with an increase in the functional requirements and system
size, the complexity problems have appeared again in a different
disguise. A sound understanding of the complexity problem requires
some insight in cognition, human problem solving, psychology, and
parts of philosophy. This book presents the essence of the author's
thinking about complexity, accumulated over the past forty years.
