Designing complex systems---a structured activity
Gerrit C. van der Veer, Johannes C. van Vliet, Bert F. Lenting · 1995
This paper concerns the development of complex systems from the point of view of design as a structure of activities, related both to the clients and the users. Several modeling approaches will be adopted for different aspects of design, and several views on design will be integrated. The proposed activity structure is based on teaching design practice, and will be illustrated by examples from design courses for university students and for practitioners in industry.
