Complexity Analysis of Systems from a Functional and Technical Viewpoint

摘要

Nowadays, complexity analysis of functional and technical mechatronic system becomes more and more important. This is because of complexity influences almost all phases of product design and system engineering. Therefore, there is the demand for a good assessment of complexity. For this purpose, several questions have to be discussed. 1. What is complexity and what are its characteristics? 2. What are the criteria for a good method to evaluate complexity? 3. How could complexity be evaluated and which method fits the requirements best?
