“…There are several methods within three main approaches for detecting emergence. The first approach is to focus on what we test to establish a reasonable test coverage 53 . Orthogonal arrays is a method used to systematically test to a given interaction level, 50–52 and using temporal logic is another related method 49 .…”

Modern product development often generates systems of high complexity that are prone to emergent behavior. The industry has a need to establish better practices to detect inherent emergent behavior when engineering such systems. Philosophers and researchers have debated emergence throughout history, tracing to the time of the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 B.C.) and current literature has both philosophical and practical examples of emergence in modern systems. In this review paper, we investigate the phenomenon of emergent behavior in engineered systems. Our aim is to describe emergence in engineered systems and propose methods to detect it, based on literature. Emergence is in general explained as dynamic behavior seen at macro level that cannot be traced back to the micro level. Emergence can be known or unknown in combination with positive or negative. We find that best practices to engineer complicated systems should contain a sensible suite of traditional approaches and methods, while best practices to engineer complex systems need extensions to this considering a new paradigm using incentives to guide system behavior rather than testing it up‐front.

This paper presents a comprehensive research on the application of the Design of Experiments approach to explore engineered complex systems to reveal potential detrimental weak emergent behavior. The proposed methodology utilizes orthogonal arrays in combination with regression analysis to systematically explore the parameter space of a specific system function. By screening and investigating system boundaries and potential pain points, this research introduces a novel use of orthogonal arrays to effectively detect and map areas within a system’s parameter space that does not comply with defined functional acceptance criteria. The findings demonstrate that this approach enables a systematic exploration of engineered complex systems to reveal inherent detrimental weak emergent behavior, thereby enhancing test coverage, expanding system knowledge, and facilitating mitigation efforts.
