From Systems Complexity to Modeling and Simulation: What are the Main Challenges?

We will start by focusing on the main challenges induced by the understanding and management of complex systems. These questions will be described both in the context of science but also of industrial questions. We will show why approaches based on data (and Artificial Intelligence) cannot be enough and how modeling and simulation can help addressing the questions and why they are sometimes mandatory. We will end by giving examples coming from the industry and by explaining how a complex systems approach (so-called Augmented Intelligence) has been used to bring solutions.

Michel Morvan is co-founder and Executive Chairman of Cosmo Tech, a global software company dedicated to Augmented Intelligence solutions that help decision makers choose optimal decisions in very complex environments. Before co-founding Cosmo Tech, Michel was Chief Scientist and Vice President for Strategic Intelligence and Innovation at Veolia Environment. He is also a former Full Professor of Computer Science at École Normale Supérieure in Lyon where he founded and lead the Rhônes-Alpes Complex Systems Institute. He was also former Chair of Complex Systems Modeling and Senior Scientist at the École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris, and former External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico. He is an Eisenhower Fellow.
