Systems engineering has developed a mature knowledge on how to design,integrate and manage complex industrial systems, whereas disciplines studyingcomplex systems in nature or society also propose numerous tools for theirunderstanding. Socio-technical systems, that situate at their intersection,could benefit from a higher integration between these. This position paperadvocates for such integrated approaches. A bibliometric study through citationnetworks first illustrates the respective isolation of some of theseapproaches. We then produce a proof-of-concept of how the transfer of conceptsfrom biology can be useful for the design of complex systems, in the particularcase of transportation networks, using a biological network growth model toproduce various optimal networks in terms of cost and efficiency. We finallydiscuss possible disciplinary positioning of such hybrid approaches.

Reconciling complexities: for a stronger integration of approaches to complex socio-technical systems
