A Multidisciplinary Approach to Complex Systems Design
@inproceedings{Ryan2007AMA, title={A Multidisciplinary Approach to Complex Systems Design}, author={A. Ryan}, year={2007} }
The design and management of organised systems, comprised of dynamic interdependent collectives of autonomous agents, is the kind of problem that the discipline of complex systems is intended to address. Nevertheless, conventional model-based applications of complex systems may be of limited utility when the problem is also data-poor and soft. In this case, a quantitative model may be at best meaningless; at worst harmful. Systems approaches, such as soft systems methodologies, have been… CONTINUE READING
