* Unlike the competition this book is problem rather than tool oriented* Provides simple a set of simple systematic heuristic methods for a general course in decision making* Accompanied by an Instructor's Guide. Contact rexvbrown@aol. com. .

Adaptive information refers to when one system is made capable of using parts of another system in a meaningful way without requiring the systems to become tightly coupled.

Systems engineering is management technology to assist and support the policy making , planning, decision making, resource allocation, and action deployment associated with large scale engineering systems. This book explores fundamental and introductory considerations associated with the engineering of large scale systems.

Nine innovative methods to think outside the box and solve complex system problems Managing Complex Systems provides specific tools and guidance needed to be a more creative and innovative thinker.

The forces of Lean and Information Technology are complementary. Moreover, the transformation of any enterprise to a competitive Lean enterprise requires the skillful use of IT throughout the internal value streams and external supply chain.

Computer-based simulation has long been used to project the behavior of systems too complex for analytical calculation.

Presents the foundational systemic thinking needed to conceive systems that address complex socio-technical problems This book emphasizes the underlying systems analysis components and associated thought processes.

Helping readers become better innovators by learning and understanding the principles of Function Analysis System Technique (FAST), Stimulating Innovation in Products and Services explains how innovation can be discovered and developed using systematic and replicable methods.

Presents systems-based theory, methodology, and applications in risk modeling, assessment, and management This book examines risk analysis, focusing on quantifying risk and constructing probabilities for real-world decision-making, including engineering, design, technology, institutions, organizations, and policy.

This book provides an understanding of governance and its relevance to information security. It gives readers a clear, step-by-step approach to developing a sound security strategy aligned with their business objectives in order to ensure a predictable level of functionality and assurance.

Discover the emerging science and engineering of System of Systems Many challenges of the twenty-first century, such as fossil fuel energy resources, require a new approach.

A practitioner's handbook that integrates knowledge, competencies, methodologies and applications across the discipline. Can improve the effectiveness of organizational and individual Risk Management practices by documenting and integrating best-practice concepts from a range of complementary disciplines.

The book includes real world examples of Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), such as a traffic control network in order for the reader to gain a good understanding of the properties of CAS Focuses on Operational Evaluation Modeling (OpEM) where simulation of a system in its operational environment is a main theme.

Verification and Validation for Quality of UML 2. 0 Models deals primarily with the creation and enhancement of the quality of software models. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) of the Object Management Group forms the basis of the software models discussed in this book.

People and Organizations is about people who operate, maintain, design, research, and manage complex systems, ranging from air traffic control systems, process control plants and manufacturing facilities to industrial enterprises, government agencies and universities.

The first comprehensive guide to designing highly usable, fully integrated computer-based information systems. Traditional human-computer interaction (HCI) and system design models have proven too narrow to adequately assess user needs and to design usable and efficient computer-based information support systems.

This book describes the full life cycle of a design from conception through abandonment, and shows what human factor inputs engineers and designers need at each stage of development.

Describes a systematic approach to continuous process improvement through process capability studies, on-line and off-line design of experiments and statistical process control in the electronics and semiconductor industries.
