Abstract
While signaling that time is ripe to re-think systems and software engineering to find appropriate methods for managing the magnitude of scale and complexity of these new kind of large scale systems and infrastructures - we tackle the radical shift of paradigm in (systems and software) engineering and introduce a methodological framework for deploying CPE using the latest knowledge of complexity science. We unravel an 'eNetwork DNA' and put it to work similarly to how DNA molds the fundamental cells in natural systems such that they can evolve to accommodate gradual or abrupt change in the environment or internal operating conditions. Various applications will be presented among which: disaster response through deployment of holistic security ecosystems, green electricity generation and distribution, pandemic mitigation, networked transportation and manufacturing, environmental monitoring and sustainability assessment.
