    8. Course Description The course covers at least the followings:   This course represents an introduction to complex systems and the methods and tools currently under consideration and use towards better understanding of such systems and the development of a complex engineered systems theory. Topics include concepts such as emergence, self-organization, learning and adaptation, and various quantitative and computational intelligence techniques and algorithms that are considered for modeling, analysis and evaluation of such complex systems. System-of-systems concept will be also presented. Students will be able to work on a small project in which they have to design and implement a small part of a complex system. 8

    9. Syllabus: a Tentative Introduction and definitions Natural complex systems Artificial complex systems Parts, Wholes and Relationships Self-organized patterns Networks and memory Complexity and Scale in Organizations Evolution Competition and cooperation The new software engineering paradigm (NSE) Model driven engineering Solving complex problems Concluding remarks, review, and evaluation 9

    10. Specific Outcomes of Instruction (Course Learning Outcomes): Understand the importance of complexity theory in software development. Understand the difference between complex systems and intricate systems. Understand complex systems concepts such as emergence, self-organization, adaptation and evolution. Learn how to develop evolving large scale software systems. Understand the new software engineering paradigm NSE (Nonlinear Software Engineering). Use complexity theory to develop complex industrial applications. 10
