Our paper titled “Robust design of complex socio-technical systems (STS) against seasonal effects: a network motif-based approach” is now published on Design Science. In this paper, we developed a design approach to robust STS by modeling complex systems as complex networks and investigating the significant motifs within the network. The network motifs are critical building blocks of the target system and the motif-based design for desired system property provides a new perspective on the STS engineering and design.
