Defining and Validating Metrics for Assessing the Maintainability of Entity-Relationship Diagrams

GENERO, M.; POELS, G.; PIATTINI, M. - Faculteit Economie en Bedrijfskunde, Universiteit Gent - 2003

properties of ER diagrams related to their structural complexity, can be used as indirect measures (hereafter called indicators … structural complexity measures and to empirically validate them as maintainability indicators. This approach is based both on … that the validation of the metrics as early maintainability indicators opens up the way for an in-depth study of structural …

Now, let's make it really complex (complicated) : A systematic review of the complexities of projects

Geraldi, Joana; Maylor, Harvey; Williams, Terry - In: International Journal of Operations & Production Management 31 (2011) 9, pp. 966-990

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to operations management (OM) practice contingency research by describing the complexity of projects. Complexity is recognised as a key independent (contingent) variable that impacts on many subsequent decisions in the practice of managing...

Structure profile of complex networks by a model of precipitation

Wang, Zhenggang; Szeto, K.Y. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 389 (2010) 11, pp. 2318-2324

The organizational structure of a network is investigated with a simulated precipitation model which does not make use of prior knowledge about the community structure of the network. The result is presented as a structure profile through which various definitions of communities can be applied...

Discovering Noncritical Organization: Statistical Mechanical, Information Theoretical, and Computational Views of Patterns in One-Dimensional Spin Systems

Feldman, David P.; Crutchfield, James P. - Santa Fe Institute - 1998

We compare and contrast three different, but complementary views of "structure" and "pattern" in spatial processes. For definiteness and analytical clarity we apply all three approaches to the simplest class of spatial processes: one-dimensional Ising spin systems with finite-range interactions....
