Verification and Validation for Quality of UML 2. 0 Models deals primarily with the creation and enhancement of the quality of software models. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) of the Object Management Group forms the basis of the software models discussed in this book.

The book includes real world examples of Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), such as a traffic control network in order for the reader to gain a good understanding of the properties of CAS Focuses on Operational Evaluation Modeling (OpEM) where simulation of a system in its operational environment is a main theme.

This monograph offers a flexible tool for strategic management which is based upon ideas from both graph theory and game theory. The approach is demonstrated to handle a finite number of decision-makers, each of whom controls a number of actions.

Aimed at engineers and managers of technology-based enterprises, this text explains how to solve problems associated with product planning and strategic thinking. It concentrates on the understanding of global markets and the need for companies to be competitive in these markets.

The principles of successful market-oriented and human-centered design are used to analyze the formation of a good business enterprise.

This manual aims to address some of the fundamental considerations associated with the engineering of large scale systems. It examines systems methodology, management and system quality assurance, as well as a variety of systems design approaches, particularly those involving the human factor.

Illustrating the major strategic challenges faced by executives and senior managers, this text articulates a range of choices of methods and tools rather than advocating one particular method. It features case studies from industry, government and non-profit organizations.

With the moves toward globalisation, outsourcing, and the rise of the knowledge-worker workforce, the internal and external environments of high technology enterprise have changed radically. As a consequence, the role and function of the contemporary manager have changed as well.

Describes a systematic approach to continuous process improvement through process capability studies, on-line and off-line design of experiments and statistical process control in the electronics and semiconductor industries.

Helping readers become better innovators by learning and understanding the principles of Function Analysis System Technique (FAST), Stimulating Innovation in Products and Services explains how innovation can be discovered and developed using systematic and replicable methods.

Combining author William F. Christopher's work with the ideas presented in Stafford Beer's seminal book The Heart of Enterprise, Viable Systems Management Science: A New Roadmap for Management provides managers with a powerful, descriptive and diagnostic tool to view the company and manage it better.

Presents systems-based theory, methodology, and applications in risk modeling, assessment, and management This book examines risk analysis, focusing on quantifying risk and constructing probabilities for real-world decision-making, including engineering, design, technology, institutions, organizations, and policy.

Computer-based simulation has long been used to project the behavior of systems too complex for analytical calculation.

Nine innovative methods to think outside the box and solve complex system problems Managing Complex Systems provides specific tools and guidance needed to be a more creative and innovative thinker.

This landmark book begins with the premise that an organization must often fundamentally transform its business practices and organizational culture to fully align with and realize the value of product and process innovations.

The forces of Lean and Information Technology are complementary. Moreover, the transformation of any enterprise to a competitive Lean enterprise requires the skillful use of IT throughout the internal value streams and external supply chain.

Over the past decade the military (both US and foreign) has developed a wide range of tools, techniques, and technologies for integrating human factors into systems engineering. Many of these methodologies have been providing a number of cost and performance benefits that otherwise would not have been accomplished. This book deals with this topic.

Systems engineering is management technology to assist and support the policy making , planning, decision making, resource allocation, and action deployment associated with large scale engineering systems. This book explores fundamental and introductory considerations associated with the engineering of large scale systems.

Adaptive information refers to when one system is made capable of using parts of another system in a meaningful way without requiring the systems to become tightly coupled.

* Unlike the competition this book is problem rather than tool oriented* Provides simple a set of simple systematic heuristic methods for a general course in decision making* Accompanied by an Instructor's Guide. Contact rexvbrown@aol. com. .

Tech Mining makes exploitation of text databases meaningful to those who can gain from derived knowledge about emerging technologies. It begins with the premise that we have the information, the tools to exploit it, and the need for the resulting knowledge. The information provided puts new capabilities at the hands of technology managers.
