Complex Scientific Problems

In times of increasing globalization and technological advances, humans have to face many problems in everyday life that are quite complex, involving multiple goals as well as many possible actions that could be considered, each associated with several different and uncertain consequences, in environments that may change dynamically and independent of the problem solvers’ actions In order to solve complex problems, people usually have to acquire and to apply knowledge about complex systems concerning the systems’ structure and dynamics. Examples for Complex Problem Solving (CPS) are easily found, e.g., using unknown complex technical devices (like a new mobile phone, a computer, a vending machine, etc.), managing complex organizations (like corporations or communities) or making predictions in complex environments (like forecasts of the weather, political elections or the stock market, etc.).

In the working-out of new organizational forms of research in science and technology, and in the implementation in everyday life of the results achieved by science, it is necessary to learn from the experience gained in the solution of various major technological problems arising in connection with the rapid growth of science and technology during recent years..

 

The 7 biggest problems facing science, according to 270 scientists

Academia has a huge money problem

To do most any kind of research, scientists need money: to run studies, to subsidize lab equipment, to pay their assistants and even their own salaries. Our respondents told us that getting — and sustaining — that funding is a perennial obstacle their gripe isn’t just with the quantity, which, in many fields, is shrinking. It’s the way money is handed out that puts pressure on labs to publish a lot of papers, breeds conflicts of interest, and encourages scientists to overhype their work.

Fixes for poor study design

Our respondents suggested that the two key ways to encourage stronger study design — and discourage positive results chasing — would involve rethinking the rewards system and building more transparency into the research process.

Replicating results is crucial. But scientists rarely do it. – Replication is another foundational concept in science. Researchers take an older study that they want to test and then try to reproduce it to see if the findings hold up.Testing, validating, retesting — it’s all part of a slow and grinding process to arrive at some semblance of scientific truth. But this doesn’t happen as often as it should, our respondents said. Scientists face few incentives to engage in the slog of replication. And even when they attempt to replicate a study, they often find they can’t do so. Increasingly it’s being called a “crisis of irreproducibility.”

Fixes for under replication 

Scientists need more carrots to entice them to pursue replication in the first place. As it stands, researchers are encouraged to publish new and positive results and to allow negative results to linger in their laptops or file drawers. This has plagued science with a problem called “publication bias” — not all studies that are conducted actually get published in journals, and the ones that do tend to have positive and dramatic conclusions.

Peer review is broken 

Peer review is meant to weed out junk science before it reaches publication. Yet over and over again in our survey, respondents told us this process fails. It was one of the parts of the scientific machinery to elicit the most rage among the researchers we heard from.

Too much science is locked behind pay walls 

After a study has been funded, conducted, and peer-reviewed, there’s still the question of getting it out so that others can read and understand its results. Over and over, our respondents expressed dissatisfaction with how scientific research gets disseminated. Too much is locked away in pay walled journals, difficult and costly to access, they said. Some respondents also criticized the publication process itself for being too slow, bogging down the pace of research.

Science is poorly communicated to the public

“If I could change one thing about science, I would change the way it is communicated to the public by scientists, by journalists, and by celebrities,” writes Clare Malone, a postdoctoral researcher in a cancer genetics lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital

What is Technology problems?

 Many businesses breathed a huge sigh of relief to see 2020 in the rearview, putting a year behind us that proved to be extremely challenging from a public health standpoint, but also from a business perspective. For companies that survived and even thrived over the last year, the ability to utilize technology to drive new ways of doing businesses was a major factor in their success. But while 2020 may have hastened digital transformation for many organizations, growing pains remain—and some IT issues continue to present major hurdles.

 

What are the Current IT Issues?

 While technology allowed many businesses to survive and thrive in 2020, there are many IT issues that need to be considered as we look forward to a year of technology success. From dealing with information security, cyber-attacks, implementing an IT strategy as part of overall business strategy, a widening skills gap, and more—we’ve compiled 10 of the most pressing issues facing the technology industry in 2022.

 

• Cybersecurity Threats Continue –

In recent years, cybersecurity has become increasingly important for multiple reasons. Data has become many businesses’ most valuable commodity and we are seeing nefarious activity, such as malware, rise. Data breaches and incidents are becoming more prevalent as attackers seek to exploit vulnerabilities. Technology companies are ramping up their cybersecurity initiatives to ensure business continuity and supply chain safety.

• Data Protection and Privacy –

Consumer trust is difficult to come by and a precious asset when it is achieved. According to a study by Edelman, 81% of consumers reported that they needed to trust a brand to buy from them. Implementing data protection and information security policies and procedures to ensure that customer data remains private is essential to gain and keep the trust of consumers. As we come out of the pandemic, protecting data is becoming even more important.

• Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery –

As much as we prefer to put the last year behind us, it was also a time that brought to light some important issues surrounding business continuity and disaster recovery. How can we ensure that businesses can continue to function amid disruption, political changes, supply chain uncertainty, market shifts, destructive weather events, and public health crises? This year, organizations are making it a priority to ensure that operations can continue in the face of these obstacles.

• Enhanced Agility in IT Environments –

The proliferation of SaaS platforms, enterprise systems and multi-cloud environments have made it a tough playing field for businesses. As digital transformation continues, businesses are looking to adopt new infrastructure models and emerging technology. It’s important for IT leaders to choose new technology wisely. How can you ensure that all your IT services and systems are playing nicely together?

• Regaining Trust in Technology –

Misinformation, political upheaval and a rise in cyberattacks in recent years have created widespread distrust of technology. Often when situations emerge that cause business delays or failures, its common practice to blame the technology behind it. But these situations aren’t created by technology, merely perpetuated by our access to information. But the time has come to realize that technology is not inherently bad or flawed. It is merely the misuse of technology that leads to the negative perception. With greater privacy protection laws, more security controls and enhanced compliance measures, businesses can remain confident that technology is a trustworthy asset.

• Selling Solutions and Innovation –

Help desk, network services, storage, IT support—today’s top offerings from solution providers and MSPs remain “bread-and-butter” services. But CompTIA’s recent survey to MSPs found that their role is changing as strategic IT becomes more prevalent. In fact, 75% of MSPs added higher-level services to their portfolio last year in order to stay competitive. That means, it’s no longer about outsourcing traditional IT needs. MSPs are offering strategic value in the form of consulting and providing much needed guidance to businesses looking to innovate with new or emerging technology.

• The Skills Gap Widens –

Technology is a tool to help us accomplish our goals more efficiently, but it’s only as good as those who manage and use it. According to CompTIA research, 93% of employers report an overall skills gap in their IT professionals, expressing a disparity between desired skillsets and existing ones. IT leaders, beginning with the CIO, need to engage the right talent for the IT team to maximize the tools before they can leverage innovation and emerging technology. In fact, 80% of organizations indicate their IT skills gap affects at least one business area such as staff productivity, customer service/customer engagement, and security. As IT strategy plays into overall business strategy more and more, an investment in tech talent is an investment in your business goals.
