DESCRIPTION:
This monograph fuses these diverse streams of thought in proposing Thriving Systems Theory by translating Alexander’s properties of physical design quality into the abstract domain of information systems and modeling. The result is holistic and innovative, a perspective on system quality invaluable to students, practitioners and researchers of software and systems engineering.. What is essential to stakeholders’ satisfaction with systems? Fred Brooks, in his publications, addressed this question. How is it that so many individual stakeholders consistently recognize the same quality, the same beauty in a system? This question led George Lakoff to research the role of conceptual metaphor in human understanding. Metaphor-Driven Modeling incorporates the theory while examining its impact throughout the system life cycle: modeling, design
Metaphor-Driven Modeling incorporates the theory while examining its impact throughout the system life cycle: modeling, design and deployment. From the Back Cover How is it that one system is more effective, appealing, satisfying and/or more beautiful than another to its stakeholder community? This question drove Christopher Alexander’s fifty-year quest to explain great physical architecture and gave birth to pattern-languages for building that underpin much of modern systems engineering. How is it that so many individual stakeholders consistently recognize the same quality, the same beauty in a system? This question led George Lakoff to research the role of conceptual metaphor in human understanding. . The result is holistic and innovative, a perspective on system quality invaluable to students, p
SuperCoder said Innovative new perspective on design quality. In a world focused on minimal functionality and lowest cost, aesthetics are ignored as indicators of quality and fitness for use in the present with little or no regard for future usefulness. This compact review of quality aspects of design proposes aesthetics as a designer's guide to quality both in function and in satisfaction. Using information systems as the domain of design application the book lays ou
