Abstract :
Research and Development on complex systems requires experimentation with the organizational form of the technical effort. Three levels of system design are distinguished¿the set, the set of sets, and the set of sets of sets. The evolution of complex system design is described. Five organizational modes are examined and evaluated. The crossbar mode is suggested as best for large scale system projects and is described in detail.
