Complex systems theory promises to solve all problems, big and small – but, concretely, what would such a solution mean in the first place? Specially, what would the automation environment of the future look like? The following presentation introduces these issues, trying to reach a “systemic view ” of complexity.
Emergence and complex systems: Towards new practices for industrial automation // Intelligent processing and manufacturing of materials
"... There exist various complex systems theories. Common to these ideas is that they construct fancy abstractions about complexity – so fancy that it is difficult to see the underlying domain fields any more.

There exist various complex systems theories. Common to these ideas is that they construct fancy abstractions about complexity – so fancy that it is difficult to see the underlying domain fields any more. However, there will not exist applications of the theories if the abstractions cannot be concretized. This paper tries to show that something practical can really be reached: New approaches and conceptual tools can be developed, the application field here being industrial automation systems.
