A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO THE THEORY, METHODOLOGY, AND DEVELOPMENT OF MODELING COMPLEX SYSTEMS OF SYSTEMS

Modeling and Managing Interdependent Complex Systems of Systems proposes a reevaluation of fundamental and practical systems engineering and risk analysis concepts on complex systems of systems developed over the past 40 years. This important resource:

• Updates and streamlines systems engineering theory, methodology, and practice as applied to complex systems of systems
• Introduces modeling methodology inspired by philosophical and conceptual thinking from the arts and sciences
• Models the complexity of emergent interdependent and interconnected complex systems of systems by analyzing their shared states, decisions, resources, and decisionmakers

Written for systems engineers, industrial engineers, managers, planners, academics and other professionals in engineering systems and the environment, this text is the resource for understanding the fundamental principles of modeling and managing complex systems of systems, and the risk thereto.

"Readers will benefit by this renowned expert's practical and timely focus on modeling and managing complex systems of systems, and by his comprehensive presentation of systems engineering methodologies."
Leon Lasdon, David Bruton, Jr. Centennial Chair and Professor Emeritus, McCombs School of Business, The University of Texas at Austin

"In this book Yacov Haimes provides a comprehensive but rigorous approach to modeling complex systems of systems built on a central abstraction: State and shared states."
Mark Maier, Distinguished Engineer, Aerospace Corporation, Chantilly, Virginia

"Modeling is a proven key to advancement of systems of systems analysis and this book is a game-changer. A welcome addition to the emerging study of cyber-physical systems."
Mo Jamshidi, Lutcher Brown Endowed Chair and Professor, The University of Texas at San Antonio

"A landmark book on how one can utilize a rich range of valuable tools within the paradigm of independent complex systems of systems to address the challenges facing society. "
Keith W. Hipel, University Professor, University of Waterloo, President, Academy of Science, Royal Society of Canada

"A comprehensive textbook exploring complexity of natural and engineered systems and an outstanding source for theoretical foundations, practical applications, and effective management."
Ali Mosleh, Distinguished Professor, Evelyn Knight Chair in Engineering, UCLA

"Yacov Haimes encapsulates the modeling of societal interactions and man-made systems characterized by intertwined hierarchical structures, by applying advanced theory and methodologies of systems of systems."
Duan Li, Chair Professor of Operations Research and Associate Provost (Strategic Planning), City University of Hong Kong
