This book applies rough set theory and rough approximation technique to real-world multiple objective decision making (MODM) problems. The authors present several techniques in rough approximation and apply them to case studies in engineering, such as particle swarms and transportation. Progressing ..

This book gives engineers and managers working in companies and governments around the world a pragmatic approach to system safety and risk assessment techniques. It explains in easy-to-understand language how to design workable safety management systems and implement tested solutions immediately. T..
The most difficult questions facing organizations today often do not have scientifically or mathematically provable solutions. Systems Architecting of Organizations: Why Eagles Can't Swim identifies potential weaknesses, and then offers guidelines and insights to address them. Its approach is archit..
Although there are many facets of systems engineering, it basically can be explained as focusing on addressing "why" a system is needed, "what" the system must do, and then "how" the system will accomplish the task over the entire life of the system - from conception to disposal. Designed for studen..
With an emphasis on practical application, this book presents the evolution of systems evaluation methods in a clear, logical way. The authors introduce methods and models briefly and to the point, explaining the profound in simple terms. And of course, they use a myriad of practical examples to dem..
Addressing seemingly intractable systems problems in our society, this book focuses on the inherent opportunities and difficulties of a systems approach. It highlights the use of systemigrams and system of systems and contains examples from a range of domains, including technology development, engin..
Model-based testing has long been used in Europe and is becoming more popular in the U.S. and the rest of the world. This book examines systems and software models, provides guidance on model selection, and explains how to test models. Readers also learn how to implement model-based testing in their..
The question of how to aggregate structural uncertainties of multiple variables to determine the group preference, on the basis of the complexity of group decision-making, is a problem that urgently waits for a resolution. This book expresses the complexity existing in each group decision-making pr..
Through many real-world examples, this book shows how to implement technology transfer in society, enabling it to become socially and economically valued. It presents the mechanisms, features, effects, and modes of technology transfer. The authors address the measurement, cost, benefit, optimal allo..
