Some problems tend to be messy with no single solution or set of effective and accurate requirements, often resulting in implementation failure. Emergence is a characteristic of complex systems and occurs when multitudes of elements interact with each other and the environment to give rise to behavior at a higher level that could not easily be deduced. This paper proposes a framework for identifying and investigating emergent behavior as part of the Complex System Engineering process through modeling and simulation.enEmergenceSystem EngineeringComplexityScientific methodConference PresentationOosthuizen, R., Roodt, J., & Pretorius, L.
