Abstract
The global problems of mankind (e.g., energy, mobility, urbanization, nutrition, financial markets, communication) are cross-over to specialized disciplines of science and need interdisciplinary studies in systems science (1). In sociotechnical systems, information and communication technology (ICT) is growing together with societal infrastructures (e.g., smart grids, smart cities), in order to handle the complexity of human civilization (2). In the age of big data, information and communication technologies (ICT) promise support of knowledge sharing through global online participation. But big data technologies only deliver technical support, no competence of interdisciplinary problem solving. Increasing complexity of our civilization needs reflection on the foundations and laws of systems dynamics in order to support global governance (3).
