分布式计算系统正在变得更大、更复杂。虽然大规模分布式系统的复杂性已经被认为是一个重要的挑战，但在定义或测量系统复杂性方面还没有太多的工作。因此，今天很难比较不同系统的复杂性，或者说一个系统比另一个系统更容易编程、管理或使用。在这篇文章中，我们试图理解导致计算系统对人们来说非常复杂的因素。我们定义了系统复杂性的不同方面，并提出了衡量这些方面的度量标准。我们还展示了这些方面如何影响不同类型的人--即。开发人员、管理员和最终用户。在我们确定的复杂性方面和度量的基础上，我们提出了有助于降低系统复杂性的一般指导方针。©2007 Wiley期刊，Inc.Complex 12：37-45,2007

Distributed computing systems are becoming bigger and more complex. Although the complexity of large-scale distributed systems has been acknowledged to be an important challenge, there has not been much work in defining or measuring system complexity. Thus, today, it is difficult to compare the complexities of different systems, or to state that one system is easier to program, to manage, or to use than another. In this article, we try to understand the factors that cause computing systems to appear very complex to people. We define different aspects of system complexity and propose metrics for measuring these aspects. We also show how these aspects affect different kinds of people—viz. developers, administrators, and end-users. On the basis of the aspects and metrics of complexity that we identify, we propose general guidelines that can help reduce the complexity of systems. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
