We live in a great age of 'craft' in our field, like cathedral builders of old, we have many great and creative minds who work together to create and keep running complex systems. The question is, how far can we go without a better understanding of what we use to build them? What could medieval cathedral builders have achieved with modern civil engineering?
We need to model and manage performance (quality, stability and resilience of multiplexed resources) in a way that is composable and decomposable over components, users, and types. |
Our vision is for a better understood world where craft and skill can be enabled by a more rigorous understanding to support smarter and more successful investment, implementation and innovation. Our aim is to enable system developers and system-of-system integrators to gain early visibility of cost/performance hazards, so that they can make appropriate choices and tradeoffs. A major benefit of such early visibility is avoiding costly failures, and maximising the chances that the development will result in successful in-budget delivery of acceptable end-user outcomes. Is this something you would like to help us achieve? With your cooperation, experience and opinions we hope to create tools to achieve this aim.
InvestmentA world where predicted costs are more reliable and able to take into account complex system-of-system interactions
|
ImplementationA world where complex systems not only work but continue to work in a predictable way as environments and demands change
|
InnovationA world where the envelop can be pushed in security with well established risks, hazards and solutions
