Sustainability Assessment of a Municipal Utility Complex: a System of Systems Approach
… decision and policy makers lack a system of systems approach that takes into account multiple interdependent systems comprised of the functional system (infrastructure, facilities, operations within the complex…), the economic system, the social/cultural system, and the environmental system …

Intersectionality in corporate South Africa: the experiences of African black female leaders
… simultaneous processes for identity and interdependent systems of disadvantage. These theories also do not elaborate on the lived experiences of South African Black women in corporate leadership roles. The researcher conducted a qualitative research study and interviewed 25 Black females …

Network Modeling Stochastic and Deterministic Approaches
… of cascading failures is assessed also in interdependent networks. In these systems, the linking among several network infrastructures is necessary for their optimal and economical operation. Yet, the interdependencies introduce weaknesses due to the fact that failures may cascade from one …

The organizational and political challenges of Enterprise Systems Engineering : a survey of senior systems engineers
Systems engineering efforts are becoming increasingly complex, novel and interdependent, making traditional systems engineering approaches only partially applicable to such efforts. Consequently, a new discipline is emerging called Enterprise Systems Engineering (ESE), where enterprise is defined …

Digitised Dockyard: A Digital Twin for Multi-Objective Optimisation
… While many implementations focus on single systems or commercial applications, this thesis investigates the use of a digital twin to represent and optimise the operational logistics of a non-commercial, high-security maritime site. By treating the entire base as a holistic entity composed of …

Plant growth under photovoltaic arrays of varying transparencies – a study of plant response to light and shadow in agrivoltaic systems
Amidst the rising global pressures put on the interdependent systems in the food, energy, and water nexus, this document highlights the potential for systems-based solutions at the intersection of food cultivation, ecosystem services, and energy production in urban and rural environments. …

IN/VISIBLE: Architecture as Somatic Experience
… project positions them as primary architectural systems that generate form, cadence, and perception. By centering proprioception, vestibular balance, and interoceptive awareness as design criteria, the thesis develops a museum architecture in which movement, orientation, and material response are …

Resilience optimization of systems of interdepedent networks
Critical infrastructure systems such as water, gas, power, telecommunications, and transportation networks, among others, are constantly stressed by aging and natural disasters. Just since 2001, adverse events such as earthquakes, landslides, and floods, have accounted for economic losses exceeding …

Generic Flow Algorithm for Analysis of Interdependent Multi-Domain Distributed Network Systems
… design have introduced new concepts for solving systems of engineering problems. The term object-oriented was first introduced by Alan Kay [1] in the late 1960s; however, mainstream incorporation of object-oriented programming did not occur until the mid- to late 1990s. The principles and methods …

Tidal hydrodynamic response to sea level rise and coastal geomorphology in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
… knowledge of the dynamic nature of coastal systems, many studies have neglected to consider the nonlinear effects of SLR and employed a simplistic "bathtub" approach in SLR assessments. More recent efforts have begun to consider the dynamic effects of SLR (e.g., the nonlinear response of …

Performance-Based Coastal Engineering Framework
… framework specific for coastal structures and systems that is flexible enough to accommodate uncertain time-varying factors, multi-hazard conditions, systems with multiple structures, cascading-effects, and different performance metrics. The framework consists of six basic components: …

Discerning the role of geodesign in landscape architecture: exploring its relations with systems thinking and resilience and its role in Planning Support System (PSS) technologies
… These challenges are embedded in highly interdependent systems that are complex with many dynamic interactions. In the field of landscape architecture, there is mounting evidence that an emerging approach – geodesign – can address this problem. Geodesign uses systems thinking to identify …
