Systems & Control Engineering

The emergence of Model Based Architecture (MDA™) and initiatives for model-based systems engineering (MBSE) will play heavily in how the practice of architecture and systems engineering evolves over the next several years. Rooted in the long-standing practices of engineering, science, and mathematic..

Covering a wide range of topics, from intelligent systems to the application of spatial information systems, this book is intended for scholars, researchers and academics in control engineering and information systems...

First published in 1999, this volume examined how increasing cockpit automation in commercial fleets across the world has had a profound impact on the cognitive work that is carried out on the flight deck through how airlines, regulators, educators and manufacturers cope with these and other consequ..

Presenting innovative research methods, this second edition of a bestseller describes a simple and practical methodology for conducting cutting-edge design science research (DSR). It provides comprehensive guidance on how to conduct such research and provides in-depth treatment of design science the..

A comprehensive, comprehensible treatment of TRIZ, Engineering of Creativity provides a valuable opportunity for engineers, R&D managers, and consultants to learn and apply innovative concepts and techniques. The author covers every aspect of TRIZ, from the basic concepts to research and development..

The first book to address the underlying premises of systems integration and how to exposit them into a practical and productive manner, this book prepares systems managers and systems engineers to consider their decisions in light of systems integration metrics. The book addresses two questions: Is..

By analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of practical applications, the scope of the rough set theory, and a variety of uncertainties in the realm of knowledge representation systems, this book systematically introduces the hybrid methods and applications of rough set theory and other related s..

Model-Based Systems Engineering..

Modeling and simulation (M&S) is increasingly becoming a central activity in the development of new and existing systems because it enables designers and researchers to manage systems complexity and investigate system behaviors through virtual representation. To date, a handbook that includes establ..

A compilation of modern decision-making techniques, this reference focuses on the fuzzy set approach to multiple attribute decision making (MADM). Drawing on their extensive experience, the authors present methods and real-life applications of MADM techniques that can be used in decision analysis. T..

Model-driven engineering (MDE) offers a promising approach to realize systems of systems (SoS). However, MDE has largely been unachieved in complex dynamical systems and netcentric SoS, in part because modeling and simulation frameworks are not designed for SoS composability. Addressing this gap, th..

Optimization of Unit Operations..
