"This book systematically describes the fundamental understanding of collaboration, collaboration systems, and complex systems and then propose solutions to the related problems with the assistance of the model and methodology. The structure follows a typical technology development document that...

"The complexity of today's large organisations, businesses and social institutions defeat management approaches based on monolithic thinking and simple solutions. Synesis represents a unification of principles and practices that is needed to reconcile multiple priorities and align multiple...

This paper offers an expanded classification of methodologies used in systems analysis. Of these methods, one in particular — simulation — is presented in some detail. Issues associated with building and running the model, as well as analyzing the results, are examined within the context of...

"This book outlines the characteristics of an urban system in detail. It explores how an urban system becomes complex in its functioning. This work highlights the significance of studying urban system from a scientific perspective, since a random urban system is potential threat to the...

Traditional education has been extremely biased towards science, owing primarily to the success that science has demonstrated in the last three centuries. While the methods of science are greatly, if not fully, responsible for its success, these are grossly inadequate in the context of societal...

In recent years, the development of domain-specific modelling languages has gained remarkable attention. This is for good reasons: A domain-specific modelling language incorporates concepts that represent domain-level knowledge. Hence, systems analysts are not forced to reconstruct these...
