Abstract

ABSTRACT The writer agrees with the main point of the paper which is to emphasise the need for civil engineering systems engineers to have ‘practical wisdom’. Insofar as this is not clearly defined the discussion offers an example from practice where practical wisdom was lacking. Blockley’s paper lists major challenges, including computerisation. The present discussion suggests others as important additions, with the most important omission being the ‘black swans’ of complex and unexpected problems. System thinking is well placed to tackle such issues.

David Blockley关于“计算机时代的实用智慧”的讨论

作者同意本文的主要观点，即强调土木工程系统工程师需要具有“实践智慧”。由于这一点没有明确的定义，讨论提供了一个缺乏实践智慧的例子。布洛克利的论文列出了主要挑战，包括计算机化。目前的讨论提出了其他重要的补充，最重要的遗漏是复杂和意外问题的“黑天鹅”。系统思维可以很好地解决这些问题。

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
