Overview
"This book discusses how to blend scientific methods with the broad capabilities a computer database information systems. This synthesis will aid anyone who is trying to explain, predict, or change the behavior of a complex system involving humans. While developed in research on information systems in the aviation industry, the principles and methods are universal. The examples clarify the advantages of this type of information system and the enormous potential power for understanding a target system completely and accurately. This book provides conceptual guidance for the construction and use of such systems in other domains."--BOOK JACKET.
