Abstract
Abstract The modern armoury of sophisticated specification languages, design tools, Object Oriented techniques and components gives the current information systems professional unprecedented power to act. However, the increasing scope of the role of information systems continues to pose difficult problems. This paper discusses the parallels and differences between artificial and natural complex systems. The fundamental differences between seemingly similar activities suggests that the naive application of biologically inspired techniques of development are unlikely to be useful in the current context of information systems design.
