How to manage or control a heterogeneous, widely dispersed, yet globally interconnected system is a serious technological problem. This presentation briefly describes on-going work on a holistic approach to analysis of national and global infrastructure development with the goal of increased agility and resilience for large-scale systems. Global trends toward interconnectedness, privatization, deregulation, economic development, accessibility of information, and the continued technical trend of rapidly advancing information and telecommunication technologies all suggest that the complexity, interactivity, and interdependence of infrastructure networks will.
To cope with this complexity, we have developed a composite analysis technique promising new possibilities for projecting the future implications – social, economic, environmental, human health, political, and technical – of major societal development activities and technology programs for nations individually and the world as a whole.About Stevens Institute of Technology
