Evaluating Discontinuities in Complex Systems: Toward Quantitative Measures of Resilience

The textural discontinuity hypothesis (TDH) is based on the observation that animal body mass distributions exhibit discontinuities that may reflect the texture of the landscape available for exploitation. This idea has been extended to other complex systems, hinting that the identification and quantification of discontinuities in the distributions of appropriate variables may provide clues to ...

Theoretical Steps Towards Modelling Resilience in Complex Systems

This paper reports on theoretical work aimed at providing a harmonious set of tools for tackling the thorny problem of resilience in complex systems. Specifically, key features of resilience are laid out, and the ramifications on necessary theoretical and implementational machinery are analysed. These ramifications constitute a problem definition that, to the authors' knowledge, no extant syste...

Requirements Engineering Model in Designing Complex Systems

This research tends to development of the requirements elicitation methodology with regard to operational nature and hierarchical analysis for complex systems and also, regarding available technologies. This methodology applies Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytic Network Process (ANP) to ensure traceability of planned qualitative and quantitative data from requirements to available te...
