1st Edition
by Jacques Printz (Translator)
This book is the result of this past history and countless discussions, reports, presentations, conferences, tests/errors, etc. that have accompanied it. Since the observation drawn from the available literature in French, either the available works were obsolete – dating from before the distribution revolution – or incomplete and/or ill-suited because they were too qualitative and not integrated into a project framework that would allow coordinated action between all the parties involved and the engineering teams, which are themselves distributed.
To create systems that respond to the present and future requirements of the users, we first need to “think” about complexity in a context that is precisely that proposed in this book, hence its title and subtitle.
