Abstract—Socio-technical systems are highly complex in whicha number of domains each of which including numerous interdependentelements are present. Therefore, for adaptation of sociotechnicalsystems, Part 1 of this paper presented a multi-domainapproach based upon Design Structure… A Multi-domain Approach Toward Adaptations of Socio-technical Systems: The Dutch Railway Case-Part 2
Abstract—Socio-technical systems are highly complex as theycontain a number of domains each of which including numerousinterdependent elements. With such complexity, policy makersand managers need to adapt (make incremental changes in) sociotechnicalsystems, and currently available approaches… A Multi-domain Approach Toward Adaptations of Socio-technical Systems: The Dutch Railway Case-Part 1

Safe Integration for System of Systems: The Safety Cube TheoryAbstract
Railway transportation networks are complex systems of systems which exhibit emerging behaviors. Emergence is the property that distinguishes a collection of things from a system which provides a behavior not attainable by any subset of system constituents. At the railway network level, the necessity of proving the desired emerging behaviors, revealing undesired patterns of behavior, and providing evidence that the rate of occurrence of a particular undesired one is below a specific threshold is stated in the RAMS standard. This short paper briefly discusses different aspects of this approach and elaborates on a successful example.
