Applied Systems Analysis: Science and Art of Solving Real-Life Problems (Advanced Research in Reliability and System Assurance Engineering)

Any activity is aimed at solving certain  problems, which means transferring a system from an existing  unsatisfactory problematic state to a desired state. The success or  failure of the system depends on how its natural properties were  implemented during the planning of improvement and intervention state.  This book covers the theory and experience of successfully solving  problems in a practical and general way.

This  book includes a general survey of modern systems analysis; offers  several original results; presents the latest methodological and  technological results of the theory of systems; introduces achievements;  and discusses the transition from the ideology of the machine age to  the ideology of the systems age.

This book will be of interest to both professionals and academicians.
