Dear Klaus,
A set of classes of complex design situations not fully included in Rittel's 'wicked problem' criteria are described in slide 4 of Love, T. and Cooper, T. (2009) Built Environments of Digitally-based Ecosystems: Systemic Variety-Based Design. Invited lecture to Dept of Architecture, University of Oregon.
The slide describes (in this case in the context of Architectural Design) one set of classes of design problems relating to the design of systems that take into account complex and dynamically changing power relations in complex socio-technical systems:
Multiple constituencies – changing over time
Multiple overlapping sub-systems
Multiple overlapping processes across subsystems
Mixed ownership of sub-systems
Varying purposes and roles of system and sub-systems
Complex and dynamic distribution of formal and informal power and control
To them, I would now also add 'dynamically changing contextual and subsystem boundaries that at times cross the system boundary'.
Ken, apologies for not noticing the tails. Snipped this time.
Best wishes,
Terence

Subject: RE: Design theories for beyond wicked problems
terry,
it is easy to hide substance behind words like "complexity" and "more difficult than wicked problems."
i think you owe everyone to define the class of design problems you are talking of in terms of the difficulties, dilemmas, paradoxes, computational complexities, etc. that designer would be facing.
