IT Crisisology Models - Object-Based Optimization for Sustainable Development

The book focuses on modeling real-world crisis management in digital product development. This includes models and methods for forecasting, responding, and agile engineering/managing for sustainable product development. This book suggests an approach that contains principles, formal models, and semi-formal practice-oriented methods, patterns and techniques to efficiently manage these crises and provide sustainable development. The book also introduces a set of principles, models, and methods for sustainable management as a blend, the components of which have been carefully selected from a few domains adjacent to digital production such as IT-intensive operation, human resource management, and knowledge engineering, to name a few. The key ingredients of this crisis management framework include smart data modeling, trade-off optimizing, agile product controlling, and knowledge transferring.
