The Architecture of Complex Systems: Do Core-periphery Structures Dominate? by MacCormack, Alan, Baldwin, Carliss, Rusnak, John

“…We find that core components are often dispersed throughout a system, making their detection and management difficult for a system architect. And we show that systems evolve in different ways – in some, the core is stable, whereas in others, it grows in proportion to the system, challenging the ability of an architect to understand all possible component interactions. …”

Controlling Change Within Complex Systems Through Pliability by Mekdeci, Brian, Ross, Adam Michael, Rhodes, Donna H., Hastings, Daniel E.

“…Pliability is the ability of a system to change, without “breaking” or violating an architecture that the system architects intended and validated. Like changeability, pliability increases robustness by allowing systems to voluntarily change in response to changing contexts, and increases survivability by increasing the likelihood that unintentional changes are still within the set of allowable instances. …”
