“…This constraint interpretation of emergence dates from the second half of the 20th century, with the work of Patee and Rączaszek‐Leonardi applied to physical emergence. This interpretation has been applied for biological emergence as well and in our work, we have applied it to engineered systems, focusing on SoS, in particular to the case of software‐intensive SoS.…”

The pervasiveness of the communication networks increasingly has made possible to interconnect software‐intensive systems that were independently developed, operated, managed, and evolved, yielding a new kind of complex system, that is, a system that is itself composed of systems, the so‐called System‐of‐Systems (SoS). Nowadays, the Internet‐of‐Things (IoT) enables the engineering of software‐intensive SoS, which are opportunistically constructed for achieving specified missions in specific operational environments. In particular, in the subset of IoT where “things” are predominantly connected vehicles, the so‐called Internet‐of‐Vehicles (IoV), the challenge is to exogenously coordinate different vehicles for performing together, through emergent behavior, traffic‐related missions, especially platooning. In platooning, two or more vehicles are connected together in convoy using wireless connectivity and automated driving support. The corresponding challenge in the architectural design of SoSs on IoV is to conceive concepts and mechanisms for describing how an SoS architecture is able to create, on the fly, and maintain emergent behaviors from elementary connected vehicles, where the actual vehicles are not known at design time. To address this challenge, this paper investigates the principle of supervenience for describing architecture‐driven emergent behavior following an exogenous approach. In particular, it describes the concepts and mechanisms underlying SosADL, a formal SoS Architecture Description Language (ADL), based on the novel π‐Calculus for SoS, to support the architectural description of self‐organizing SoSs, upwardly causing the required SoS emergent behaviors at run time. Especially, it demonstrates how architectural mediators expressed with SosADL in exogenous SoS architectures support vehicle platooning through an excerpt of a real application on the IoV.

“…The latter suggestion gave rise to our work on value complementarity, which we will describe in detail further below. Others have worked with the extension of complementarity to, e.g., mathematics (Otte 2003), biological and social structures (Pattee 1978), matter-symbol complementarity in biosemiotics (Pattee and Rączaszek-Leonardi 2012), political science (Rasmussen 1987), and consciousness (Jahn 2007).…”

ABSTRACT. Sustainability assessments bring together different perspectives that pertain to sustainability to produce overall assessments, and a wealth of approaches and tools have been developed in the past decades. However, two major problems remain. The problem of integration concerns the surplus of possibilities for integration; different tools produce different assessments. The problem of implementation concerns the barrier between assessment and transformation; assessments do not lead to the expected changes in practice. We aim to analyze issues of complementarity in sustainability assessment and transformation as a key to better handling the problems of integration and implementation. Based on a generalization of Niels Bohr's complementarity from quantum mechanics, we have identified two forms of complementarity in sustainability assessment, observer stance complementarity and value complementarity. Unlike many other problems of sustainability assessment, complementarity is of a fundamental character connected to the very conditions for observation. Therefore, complementarity cannot be overcome methodologically, only handled better or worse. Science is essential to the societal goal of sustainability, but these issues of complementarity impede the constructive role of science in the transition to more sustainable structures and practices in food systems. The agencies of sustainability assessment and transformation need to be acutely aware of the importance of different perspectives and values and the complementarities that may be connected to these differences. An improved understanding of complementarity can help to better recognize and handle issues of complementarity. These deliberations have relevance not only for sustainability assessment, but more generally for transdisciplinary research on wicked problems.

“…Given the emphasis on the dynamic side of language as symbiotic communication, as well as on interactivity and first-order languaging, this point is central to the distributed agenda: we need not take a starting point in sense-making, semiosis, and encoding when explaining human social interactionddynamics and the human ecology take us most of the way, and where signs and symbols enter the picture, it is as nudges that constrain the overall trajectory of the vibrant, synergetic bodies that ground human coordination (Rą czaszek-Leonardi, 2011; Pattee and Rą czaszek-Leonardi, 2012;Fusaroli et al, 2014). Rather than dismiss the biological to focus on the social, or favour the bodily over the relational, the distributed perspective sees these as complementary perspectives on one and the same phenomenon: human interactivity.…”

“…First, DLA emphasises that language is "a symbiotic mode of communication" (Cowley, 2011b:6), i.e. it has a potential to integrate two complementary modes of interpersonal coordination: a dynamic one and a symbolic one (Rą czaszek-Leonardi, 2009Pattee and Rą czaszek-Leonardi, 2012). As a dynamical mode of interaction, language functions by entraining embodied behaviour across persons, e.g.…”
