This book contains all refereed papers that were accepted to the fourth edition of the " Complex Systems Design & Management " (CSD&M 2013) international conference which took place in Paris (France) from December 4-6, 2013.

These proceedings cover the most recent trends in the emerging field of complex systems sciences & practices from an industrial and academic perspective, including the main industrial domains (transport, defense & security, electronics, energy & environment, e-services), scientific & technical topics (systems fundamentals, systems architecture & engineering, systems metrics & quality, systemic tools) and system types (transportation systems, embedded systems, software & information systems, systems of systems, artificial ecosystems).

The CSD&M 2013 conference is organized under the guidance of the CESAMES non-profit organization.
