Riassunto

This book presents an innovative systems approach towards the idea of a smarter world, with advanced and sustainable social infrastructures, facilities and services. It develops a novel systems approach for society-wide systems where interdependent systems encompassing transportation, energy, communication, water, sewerage, logistics, education, disaster prevention, medical care and welfare are integrated to form a ‘System of Systems’ (SoS). Written by leading system scientists and technology creators, it introduces state-of-the-art concepts of and methodologies for systems approaches towards SoS as well as their practical applications, discussing the planning, design and management challenges in their implementation and the potential impact on societies and the environment. The volume will be of interest to systems engineers, system integrators, and researchers in related engineering fields, as well as government policymakers.

Shingo Takahashi is Professor in the Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering and Director of Institute for Social Simulation at Waseda University. He holds M.S. and Ph.D. in Systems Science from Tokyo Institute of Technology. His current research interests include modeling and simulation of social systems as complex adaptive systems, especially focusing on agent-based social simulation and soft system thinking as practice, aimed at applying to soft, i.e. ill-structured, problem situations involving various people with plural world views. He is a board member for several societies, such as The Japan Association for Social and Economic Systems Studies, Japan Society for Research Policy and Innovation Management, The Japan Society for Management Information, and member of editorial boards of journals, such as International Journal of General Systems and Japan Industrial Management Association.
