Reihe: Stevens Institute Series on Complex Systems and Enterprises

Explains multi-level models of enterprise systems and coversmodeling methodology
This book addresses the essential phenomena underlying theoverall behaviors of complex systems and enterprises. Understanding these phenomena can enable improving these systems.These phenomena range from physical, behavioral, andorganizational, to economic and social, all of which involvesignificant human components. Specific phenomena of interest andhow they are represented depend on the questions of interest andthe relevant domains or contexts. Modeling and Visualization ofComplex Systems and Enterprises examines visualization of phenomenaand how understanding the relationships among phenomena can providethe basis for understanding where deeper exploration is warranted.The author also reviews mathematical and computational models,defined very broadly across disciplines, which can enable deeperunderstanding.
* Presents a 10 step methodology for addressingquestions associated with the design or operation of complexsystems and enterprises
* Examines six archetypal enterprise problemsincluding two from healthcare, two from urban systems, and one eachfrom financial systems and defense systems
* Provides an introduction to the nature of complexsystems, historical perspectives on complexity and complex adaptivesystems, and the evolution of systems practice
Modeling and Visualization of Complex Systems andEnterprises is written for graduate students studying systemsscience and engineering and professionals involved in systemsscience and engineering, those involved in complex systems such ashealthcare delivery, urban systems, sustainable energy, financialsystems, and national security.
