Abstract: The accomplishments of scientists conducting complex systems research could significantly expand the role of systems engineers currently wrestling with more narrowly defined complex systems. The rapid growth of problems extending from newly formed complex systems in society, economic activities, and geopolitical dynamics argues further for the immediate fusion of scientific insight with practical engineering approaches for problem solving. In supporting this new role for systems engineers, a new class of complex systems engineering tools, along with new analytical techniques, are envisioned. Such tools and techniques can further support the continuing efforts of scientists in unraveling the mysteries of highly complex self‐forming and self‐organizing systems. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
