We suggest a portfolio of distinct but related systems engineering activities that collectively may work well in very difficult environments. The CASE methodology acknowledges the human factor and encourages exerting influence rather than control. We advocate their consideration and application in limited domains, at first, to gain confidence in their viability.
Uncertainties can be managed through real options that provide a decision maker the right, but not the obligation, to exercise actions at a later time. In previous work we introduced an integrated real options framework (IRF) that distinguishes among option mechanism and type. The mechanism is the enabler of the option, while the type refers to the flexibility provided by the option. The idea behind...
This research is an effort to develop a Risk Management-based Decision Analysis (RMDA) Framework based on the common fundamental elements that define the nature of resilience in Maritime Infrastructure and Transportation Systems (MITS). While developing a systematic process for making strategic and investment decisions, RMDA enables the decision-makers to identify, analyze, and prioritize risks involved...
Understanding group decision-making processes is crucial for design or operation of a complex system. Unfortunately, there are few experimental tools that might contribute to the development of a theory of group decision-making by committees of technical experts. This research aims to fills this gap by providing tools based on computational linguistics algorithms that can analyze transcripts of multi-stakeholder...
