House of Project Complexity - Understanding Complexity in Large Infrastructure Projects
- Computer Science
- 2013
A combined structural and process-based theoretical framework for understanding contributors to complexity—the ‘House of Project Complexity’ (HoPC), developed iteratively by first applying it to two trial samples and then to the main data set of 20 detailed case studies of infrastructure projects prepared for the IMEC study.
Modeling Supply-Side Dynamics of IT Components, Products, and Infrastructure: An Empirical Analysis Using Vector Autoregression
- Economics, BusinessInf. Syst. Res.
- 2012
This paper empirically validate the existence of several patterns of supply-side technology relationships in the context of wireless networking and uses vector autoregression (VAR) to model the comovements of new component, product, and infrastructure introductions and provides evidence of strong Granger-causal interdependencies.

The work of Y-S Ho is placed in the context of design and planning theory. The significance of the Galois lattice methodology is stressed.
A Theory of Markovian Design Machines
- Mathematics
- 1974
A theory of the design process, based on an analogy with the well-known Markov process in probability theory, is developed and applied to the classic highway location problem first discussed by Alexander and Manheim (1962).
