Engineering complex systems requires an extensive technical and semantic knowledge. Because of their complexity, components of these systems can interact in unpredictable ways -- sequentially and concurrently….

The three papers in this theme issue have the potential to address the design challenges of complex systems spanning multiple domains and interacting in potentially unexpected ways. The knowledge required goes beyond basic computing concepts and design, to include an examination of interactions and multiple aspects of the application domain. We hope you find these articles interesting and insightful.
