Abstract
ABSTRACT Carmichael’s paper offers a framework for civil engineering systems work. The approach is rigorous. But equally rigorous should be the principles underlying the work, including a clear and unambiguous defining purpose and a careful attention to modelling principles. That is, a rigorous process is just as important as a rigorous framework. Suggested additions to the proposed framework are: purpose, information (including uncertainty and quality), modelling, topology and value.
期刊介绍:
Civil Engineering and Environmental Systems is devoted to the advancement of systems thinking and systems techniques throughout systems engineering, environmental engineering decision-making, and engineering management. We do this by publishing the practical applications and developments of "hard" and "soft" systems techniques and thinking.
Submissions that allow for better analysis of civil engineering and environmental systems might look at:
-Civil Engineering optimization
-Risk assessment in engineering
-Civil engineering decision analysis
-System identification in engineering
-Civil engineering numerical simulation
-Uncertainty modelling in engineering
-Qualitative modelling of complex engineering systems
