Multi-resolution modeling and application for complex system analysis based on design structure matrix

The development and evolution of complex system usually contains concurrent, iterative and coupling processes. Based on multi-resolution modeling, this paper presents a new approach on modeling and analysis for complex system development and its risk assessment. Firstly, discuss the requirement and function of introducing multi-resolution modeling into complex system research. Define and present the definition, elements, models and modeling approach of DSM-based multi-resolution modeling. Moreover, case study shows the whole modeling process and simulation result comparisons among different resolution models. The proposed approach is verified to provide the more credible assessment and create opportunities and potentials for prediction and optimization.
