Safety, efficiency and environmental friendliness have
improved in jetliners considerably since the 1950s. Main
contributors to this have been gas turbine engine
technology, materials, computational aerodynamics,
advanced structural analysis and on-board systems. Since
aircraft design became a highly multidisciplinary activity,
the development of multidisciplinary optimization (MDO)
has become a popular new discipline. Despite this, the
application of MDO during the conceptual design phase is
not yet widespread.
This book presents a quasi-analytical optimization
approach based on a concise set of sizing equations.
Objectives are aerodynamic efficiency, mission fuel, empty
weight and maximum takeoff weight. Independent design
variables studied include design cruise altitude, wing area
and span and thrust or power loading. Principal features of
integrated concepts such as the blended wing and body
and highly non-planar wings are also covered. This
approach enables designers to compare the results of
high-fidelity MDO optimization with lower-fidelity methods
which need far less computational effort. Another
advantage to this approach is that it can provide answers
to "what if" questions rapidly and with little computational
cost.

Automotive Engineering
Transport systems have to meet the mobility needs of
people and commodities on all scales, from the local to the
global level. Concern about the energy, fumes and sound
emissions produced, and about the safety, service quality,
intelligence, and lifecycle of the systems can all be
included in a systemic approach. This approach
contributes to the development of sustainable solutions, for
vehicles as well as for transport systems. Derived from an
approach combining social and physical sciences, these
solutions result from the integration of physical objects,
services and organization processes, which involve
several actors. Their harmonious organization contributes
to the development of more virtuous transport systems for
the future of urban and interurban mobility.
This title takes a systematic approach to examining how
matters of energy, gas, and sound emissions, safety,
service quality, intelligence, and lifecycle can exist
harmoniously with societys local and global transport
needs. Addressing a central topic in sustainable
development, the book suggests ecological solutions for
vehicle and transport improvements that integrate physical
objects, services, and organization processes. Such
collaboration fosters an enhanced transport system that
looks to the future of urban and interurban mobility.

Motors & Drivers
Drivers of motorized two-wheeled vehicles are considered
as the most vulnerable road users. Indeed, the number of
motorbike accidents has been constantly increasing over
the last few years. In addition, according to the most recent
statistics, despite the preventive and repressive measures
recently implemented, the number of casualties among
motorcyclists has not decreased, even while there has been
a marked progress among car drivers. This book discusses
the topic of driving simulation for motorbike drivers,
providing techniques and approaches that will help users
drive safely and avoid accidents and collisions.
Passive and active safety systems (ABS, ESP, safety belts,
airbags) represent a major advance in terms of safety in
motoring. They are being increasingly developed and
installed in cars and are beginning to be installed in
two-wheeled vehicles. The authors present a state of the art
on safety systems and assistance to driving and their
two-wheeled counterparts. The aim is to point out the
differences of perspectives between motor vehicles and
motorcycles to identifty relevant indicators to help in
choosing the mechanical architecture of the motorcycle
simulator and appropriate controls.

Computational / Numerical Methods
Computers are ubiquitous throughout all life-cycle stages of
engineering, from conceptual design to manufacturing
maintenance, repair and replacement. It is essential for all
engineers to be aware of the knowledge behind
computer-based tools and techniques they are likely to
encounter. The computational technology, which allows
engineers to carry out design, modelling, visualisation,
manufacturing, construction and management of products
and infrastructure is known as Computer-Aided Engineering
(CAE).
This book provides the foundation knowledge of computing
that is essential for all engineers. This knowledge is
independent of hardware and software characteristics and
thus, it is expected to remain valid throughout an
engineering career. This Second Edition is enhanced with
treatment of new areas such as network science and the
computational complexity of distributed systems.
Covers numerous representation frameworks and
reasoning strategies
Considers the benefits of increased computational power,
parallel computing and cloud computing
Offers many practical engineering examples and
exercises, with lecture notes available for many of the
topics/chapters from the ASCE Technical Council on
Computing and Information Technology, Global Centre of
Excellence in Computing (www.asceglobalcenter.org),
providing a valuable resource for lecturers.

Fluid Mechanics
The presence of water on Earth is discussed on the basis of
the various theories about its origin such as a massive
degassing of the primitive parent bodies that built our planet
as well as a late addition from comets that collided with its
surface. The extraordinary physico-chemical properties of
the water molecule combined to its abundance and
repartition at Earths surface have contributed to regulate
the global climate and to favour the evolution of species for
more than 4 billion years. The early emergence of life in the
deep ocean and its further diversification were closely
linked to the global water cycle whose dynamics results
from the energy balance between the solar radiation and
the internal heat flux of the Earth.

Fluid Mechanics
Numerous industrial systems or natural environments
involve multiphase flows with heat and mass transfer, with
more than a tenth of direct application fields. The book
presents physical modelling of these flows, in a unified
way, which can include various physical aspects and
several levels of complexity. Thermal engineering and
nuclear reactors ; Extraction and transport of petroleum
products ; Diesel engines and rocket engines ; Chemical
engineering reactors and fluidized beds; Smoke or aerosol
dispersion; Landslides and avalanches. Modelling
multiphase flows with heat and mass transfer for all of
these situations can be developed following a common
methodology. The book is devoted to the way to
incorporate the adequate physical ingredients in
agreement to known experimental facts and make the
model evolve according to the required complexity.
The first part of the book will be devoted to the definition
and description of the basic approach, which can simply
be presented as the generalization of several phases of
the usual approach of continuum mechanics in fluid
thermomecanics in turbulent flows. The second part will
first discuss the modeling principles of the effect of
irrerversible processes, which occur in the flows. In the
third part, we will take a more detailed look at flows and
and granular media. The fourth part will focus on
improving the representation of all these media by adding
the possibility of better knowing fluctuations around
averages.
Engineers who must perform predictions on multiphase
flows, in the various application domains listed previously.
And also researchers working on these domains. It can
also be argued that scientists who are not specialized in
any of these domains but are likely to use general
commercial CFD codes which are not especially devoted
to simulating one multiphase flows but incorporate features
for that purpose could gain useful physical insights reading
the book.

This book focuses on two significant problems in automatic
control: state estimation and robust model predictive
control under input and state constraints, and bounded
perturbations and noise, based on a zonotopic
set-membership approach. Firstly, the authors propose a
P-radius-based set-membership estimation method to
compute a zonotope containing the real states of a system,
which are consistent with the disturbances and
measurement noise. Secondly, they deal with the problem
of output feedback control. Among the approaches from
the literature, the implementation of robust predictive
techniques based on trajectory tubes is developed. The
zonotopic set-membership estimation improves the quality
of the estimation, as well as the performance of the control,
for systems subject to unknown, but bounded,
disturbances and measurement noise.

The classical approach in automatic control relies on the
use of simplified models of the systems and reformulations
of the specifications. However, this approach fails when the
system is too complex to sufficiently simplify its model,
when the designer has a large number of constraints to
take into account, or when the goal is to both design then
optimize it. This book presents the new trend of utilizing
metaheuristic algorithms (such as genetic algorithms and
particle swarm optimization) for working with automatic
control.

An overview of the methods used for risk analysis in a
variety of industrial sectors, with a particular focus on the
consideration of human aspects, this book provides a
definition of all the fundamental notions associated with
risks and risk management, as well as clearly placing the
discipline of risk analysis within the broader context of risk
management processes.
The author begins by presenting a certain number of basic
concepts, followed by the general principle of risk analysis.
He then moves on to examine the ISO31000 standard,
which provides a specification for the implementation of a
risk management approach. The ability to represent the
information we use is crucial, so the representation of
knowledge, covering both information concerning the risk
occurrence mechanism and details of the system under
scrutiny, is also considered. The different analysis
methods are then presented, firstly for the identification of
risks, then for their analysis in terms of cause and effect,
and finally for the implementation of safety measures.
Concrete examples are given throughout the book and the
methodology and method can be applied to various fields
(industry, health, organization, technical systems).

increasing interest in reducing their energy consumption
and have begun to search for opportunities to reduce their
energy usage. In this book, the authors explore a variety of
opportunities to reduce the energy footprint of
manufacturing. These opportunities cover the entire spatial
scale of the manufacturing enterprise: from unit
process-oriented approaches to enterprise-level strategies.
Each chapter examines some aspect of this spatial scale,
and discusses and describes the opportunities that exist at
that level. Case studies demonstrate how the opportunity
may be acted on with practical guidance on how to respond
to these opportunities.

Since Lord Rayleigh introduced the idea of viscous
damping in his classic work The Theory of Sound in 1877,
it has become standard practice to use this approach in
dynamics, covering a huge range of applications from
aerospace to civil engineering.
However, in the majority of practical cases this approach is
adopted more for mathematical convenience than
modeling the physics of vibration damping. Over the past
decade extensive research has been carried out on more
general "non-viscous" damping models and the vibration of
non-viscously damped systems. This book is the first
comprehensive text to cover vibration problems with
general nonviscous damping. The author has drawn on his
considerable research experience to produce a volume
covering: non-viscously damped single and multi-degree of
freedom systems; continuous systems with nonlocal and
non-viscous damping; identification of non-viscous
damping; computational aspects of non-proportional and
non-viscous damping and sensitivity analysis. The text is
written from a vibration theory standpoint, with numerous
worked examples relevant across a wide range of
mechanical, aerospace and structural engineering
applications.
This book aims to give engineering graduate students,
researchers and practicing engineers a detailed
understanding of the methods of analysis necessary for
complex structural systems with more general non viscous
damping models.

This book gives science and engineering graduates and
researchers a detailed understanding of the methods of
non-local analysis necessary for nanoscale structures.
The conventional local elasticity theory has underpinned the
majority of applications of continuum mechanics in applied
science and engineering since its inception in the early 19th
Century. The application of the local elasticity theory in the
context of nanoscale objects has been repeatedly
questioned in various research articles over the past
decade. Non-local elasticity theory, pioneered from the
1970s, is a scale-dependent theory and is considered to be
more suitable for analyzing nanoscale objects such as
carbon nanotubes and graphene sheets.
This book is the first comprehensive text to cover non-local
elasticity theory for static, dynamic and stability analysis of
wide-ranging nanostructures. The authors draw on their
considerable research experience in this field. The text will
be written from a mechanics standpoint, with numerous
worked examples relevant across a wide range of

Mechanical Engineering - Design
Machining instability is a topical area, and there are a wide
range of publications that cover the topic. However, many
of these previous studies have started by assuming that
the behavior of the system can be linearised. Meanwhile,
there are many recent advances in the fields of signal
processing, nonlinear dynamics, and nonlinear control, all
of which are relevant to the machining stability problem.
This book establishes the fundamentals of cutting
mechanics and machine tool dynamics in the simultaneous
time-frequency domain. The new nonlinear control theory
developed by the authors that facilitates simultaneous
control of vibration amplitude in the time-domain and
spectral response in the frequency-domain provides the
foundation for the development of a controller architecture
universally viable for the control of dynamic instability
including bifurcation and chaos. Once parameters
underlying the coupling, interaction, and evolution of
different cutting states and between the tool and workpiece
are established, they can then be incorporated into the
architecture to create a control methodology that mitigate
machining instability and enable robust, chatter-free
machine tool design applicable in particular to high speed
micro- and nano-machining.
Provides a clear and concise approach to the
understanding and control of machine tool and workpiece
vibrations from an alternative view, contributing to an
in-depth understanding of cutting dynamics and robust
control of machining instability

Numerical Methods
One of the first books to provide in-depth and systematic
application of finite element methods to the field of
stochastic structural dynamics.
The parallel developments of the Finite Element Methods in
the 1950's and the engineering applications of stochastic
processes in the 1940's provided a combined numerical
analysis tool for the studies of dynamics of structures and
structural systems under random loadings. In the open
literature, there are books on statistical dynamics of
structures and books on structural dynamics with chapters
dealing with random response analysis. However, a
systematic treatment of stochastic structural dynamics
applying the finite element methods seems to be lacking.
Aimed at advanced and specialist levels, the author
presents and illustrates direct integration methods for
analyzing the statistics of the response of structures to
stochastic loads. The analysis methods are based on
structural models represented via the Finite Element
Method. In addition to stationary linear problems the text
also addresses non-stationary excitation and systems with
spatially stochastic property variations.

Method of Moments for the
Scattering from 2D
Problems: Basic Concepts

Numerical Methods & Algorithms
Electromagnetic wave scattering from randomly rough
surfaces in the presence of scatterers is an active,
interdisciplinary area of research with myriad practical
applications in fields such as optics, acoustics, geoscience
and remote sensing.
In this book, the Method of Moments (MoM) is applied to
compute the field scattered by scatterers such as
canonical objects (cylinder or plate) or a randomly rough
surface, and also by an object above or below a random
rough surface. Since the problem is considered to be 2D,
the integral equations (IEs) are scalar and only the TE
(transverse electric) and TM (transverse magnetic)
polarizations are addressed (no cross-polarizations occur).
In Chapter 1, the MoM is applied to convert the IEs into a
linear system, while Chapter 2 compares the MoM with the
exact solution of the field scattered by a cylinder in free
space, and with the Physical Optics (PO) approximation
for the scattering from a plate in free space. Chapter 3
presents numerical results, obtained from the MoM, of the
coherent and incoherent intensities scattered by a random
rough surface and an object below a random rough
surface. The final chapter presents the same results as in
Chapter 3, but for an object above a random rough surface.
In these last two chapters, the coupling between the two
scatterers is also studied in detail by inverting the
impedance matrix by blocks.
Christophe Bourlier works at the IETR (Institut
dElectronique et de Tlcommunications de Rennes)
laboratory at Polytech Nantes (University of Nantes,
France) as well as being a Researcher at the French
National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) on
electromagnetic wave scattering from rough surfaces and

Numerical Methods & Algorithms
This book combines the research activities of the authors,
both of whom are researchers at Ecole Nationale de
l'Aviation Civile (French National School of Civil Aviation),
and presents their findings from the last 15 years. Their
work uses air transport as its focal point, within the realm of
mathematical optimization, looking at real life problems and
theoretical models in tandem, and the challenges that
accompany studying both approaches.
The authors' research is linked with the attempt to reduce
air space congestion in Western Europe, USA and,
increasingly, Asia. They do this through studying stochastic
optimization (particularly artificial evolution), the
sectorization of airspace, route distribution and takeoff slots,
and by modeling airspace congestion.
Finally, the authors discuss their short, medium and long
term research goals. They hope that their work, although
related to air transport, will be applied to other fields, such
is the transferable nature of mathematical optimization. At
the same time, they intend to use other areas of research,
such as approximation and statistics to complement their
continued inquiry in their own field.

The topic of this book is proportionate-type normalized
least mean squares (PtNLMS) adaptive filtering algorithms,
which attempt to estimate an unknown impulse response
by adaptively giving gains proportionate to an estimate of
the impulse response and the current measured error.
These algorithms offer low computational complexity and
fast convergence times for sparse impulse responses in
network and acoustic echo cancellation applications. New
PtNLMS algorithms are developed by choosing gains that
optimize user-defined criteria, such as mean square error,
at all times. PtNLMS algorithms are extended from
real-valued signals to complex-valued signals. The
computational complexity of the presented algorithms is
examined.

This book provides an introduction to spatial analyses
concerning disaggregated (or micro) spatial data.
Particular emphasis is put on spatial data compilation and
the structuring of the connections between the observations.
Descriptive analysis methods of spatial data are presented
in order to identify and measure the spatial, global and local
dependency.
The authors then focus on autoregressive spatial models, to
control the problem of spatial dependency between the
residues of a basic linear statistical model, thereby
contravening one of the basic hypotheses of the ordinary
least squares approach.
This book is a popularized reference for students looking to
work with spatialized data, but who do not have the
advanced statistical theoretical basics.

different approaches and addresses the difficulty of these
classical methods to tackle the high dimensionality, the
sparsity, and the scalability that leads to co-clustering. In
this text for scientists, researchers, and industrial
engineers, co-clustering or biclustering is presented as
simultaneous clustering, as a model-based co-clustering,
as an approximation of matrix, and as the research of
coherent co-clusters in biological terms or the extraction of
co-clusters under conditions.

DisCSP (Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problem) is a
general framework for solving distributed problems arising
in Distributed Artificial Intelligence.
A wide variety of problems in artificial intelligence are
solved using the constraint satisfaction problem paradigm.
However, there are several applications in multi-agent
coordination that are of a distributed nature. In this type of
application, the knowledge about the problem, that is,
variables and constraints, may be logically or
geographically distributed among physical distributed
agents. This distribution is mainly due to privacy and/or
security requirements. Therefore, a distributed model
allowing a decentralized solving process is more adequate
to model and solve such kinds of problem. The distributed
constraint satisfaction problem has such properties.

This new edition features two new chapters on composite
fittings and the design of a composite panel, as well as
additional exercises. It enables students and engineers to
generate meaningful and robust designs of complex
composite structures. It provides a link between theory and
day-to-day design practice, using theory to derive solutions
that are applicable to specific structures and structural
details used in the industry.
Starting with the basic mathematical derivation followed by
simplifications used in real-world design, it presents the
level of accuracy and range of applicability of each method,
along with design guidelines derived from experience
combined with analysis. The author solves in detail
examples taken from actual applications to show how the
concepts can be applied, solving the same design problem
with different methods based on different drivers (e.g. cost
or weight) to show how the final configuration changes as
the requirements and approach change. Each chapter is
followed by exercises that represent specific design
problems often encountered in the aerospace industry but
which are also applicable in the in the automotive, marine,
and construction industries.
Updated to include additional exercises, that represent
real design problems..
Provides solutions that can be used in optimization
schemes without having to run finite element models at
each iteration; thus speeding up the design process and
allowing the examination of many more alternatives than
traditional approaches.

Capability & Resource Management
Decision-making has evolved recently thanks to the
introduction of information and communication
technologies in many organizations, which has led to new
kinds of decision-making processes called "collaborative
decision-making", at the organizational and cognitive
levels.
This book looks at the development of the decision-making
process in organizations. Decision-aiding and its paradigm
of problem solving are defined, showing how
decision-makers now need to work in a cooperative way.
Definitions of cooperation and associated concepts such
as collaboration and coordination are given, and a
framework of co-operative decision support systems is
presented, including intelligent DSS, cooperative
knowledge-based systems, workflow, group support
systems, collaborative engineering, integrating with a
collaborative decision-making model in part or being part
of global projects.
Several models and experimental studies are also
included, showing that these new processes have to be
supported by new types of tools. Several of these are
described in order to calculate or simulate solutions or
global solutions for decision-making modification.
Definitions and new trends for these models are given,
along with types of systems.

This book is especially suited for people both in research
and industry who are interested in the modeling and
numerical simulation of discrete mechanical systems with
friction and impact phenomena occurring in presence of
classical (linear elastic) or non-classical constitutive laws
(delay, memory effects, etc.).
Such systems can be found in various fields of technical
application in mechanics, civil engineering, mechanical
engineering, etc.; as contacts between wheels and ground
in vehicle dynamics, devices in motors, machines,
simplified models of buildings with non-smooth constitutive
laws, walking machines, limit stops and friction in arbitrary
kind of mechanisms or contacts.
The book intends to close the gap between highly
specialized mathematical literature and engineering
application, and to also give tools in the framework of non-
smooth stochastic differential systems: so applications
involving stochastic excitations (seisms, road surface, wind
models etc.) are concerned.
Many other fields of research (physics, materials,
electronics, etc.) could be interested to model some
phenomena (for example hysteretic ones) by using the
mathematical tools provided by this book.

Computer Hardware
Embedded systems are everywhere in contemporary life
and are supposed to make our lives more comfortable. In
industry, embedded systems are used to manage and
control complex systems (e.g. nuclear power plants,
telecommunications and flight control) and they are also
taking an important place in our daily activities (e.g.
smartphones, security alarms and traffic lights).
In the design of embedded systems, memory allocation
and data assignment are among the main challenges that
electronic designers have to face. In fact, they impact
heavily on the main cost metrics (power consumption,
performance and area) in electronic devices. Thus
designers of embedded systems have to pay careful
attention in order to minimize memory requirements,
consequently improving memory throughput and limiting
the power consumption by the system's memory.
Electronic designers attempt to minimize memory
requirements with the aim of lowering the overall system
costs.
A state of the art of optimization techniques for memory
management and data assignment is presented in this
book.

Probabilistic analysis is increasing in popularity and
importance within engineering and the applied sciences.
However, the stochastic perturbation technique is a fairly
recent development and therefore remains as yet unknown
to many students, researchers and engineers. Fields in
which the methodology can be applied are widespread,
including various branches of engineering, heat transfer
and statistical mechanics, reliability assessment and also
financial investments or economical prognosis in analytical
and computational contexts.
The Stochastic Perturbation Method for Computational
Mechanics is devoted to the theoretical aspects and
computational implementation of the generalized
stochastic perturbation technique. It is based on any order
Taylor expansions of random variables and enables for
determination of up to fourth order probabilistic moments
and characteristics of the physical system response.
Provides a grounding in the basic elements of statistics
and probability and reliability engineering.

This book provides the latest models, methods and
guidelines for networked enterprises to enhance their
competitiveness and move towards innovative high
performance and agile industrial systems.
In the new global market, competitiveness and economic
growth rely greatly on the move toward innovative high
performance industrial systems and agile networked
enterprises through the creation and consolidation of
non-hierarchical manufacturing networks of multi-national
SMEs as opposed to networks based on powerful
large-scale companies. Network performance can be
significantly improved through more harmonious and
equitable peer-to-peer inter-enterprise relationships,
conforming decentralized and collaborative
decision-making models.
Traditional hierarchical manufacturing networks are based
on centralized models, where some of the actors involved
must adapt themselves to the constraints defined by those
who are most dominant. Real-world experiences of such
models have revealed some major problems due to the
centralized vision of the supply chain and the sub-optimal
performance of centralized decision-making. For the
current highly dynamic markets, this generates major
inefficiencies in operation throughout the supply chain.
This book collects the latest research regarding
non-hierarchical manufacturing networks and provides
enterprises with valuable models, methods and guidelines
to improve their competitiveness.

This title is focused on basic lubrication problems and
offers specific engineering applications. The book is
divided into four parts. The first part is Reynolds equation
solution, which includes solutions of Reynolds equations
with the different conditions and the discrete forms, such
as the steady-state incompressible slider, journal bearing,
dynamic bearing, gas bearing and grease lubrication. The
second part is energy equation solution. The form of the
discrete energy equations and the temperature-viscosity
equations are given first. Then, thermal fluid lubrication
problems are solved, combined with the Reynolds and the
energy equation. In elastohydrodynamic lubrication, the
elastic deformation equations are given first. Then, the
pressure-viscosity and temperature-viscosity equation are
also introduced. Then the joint solution methods and
programs combined with the Reynolds equation and the
elastic deformation equation are introduced. The programs
include the isothermal and thermal elastohydrodynamic
lubrications and grease elastohydrodynamic lubrication. In
the final part, the lubrication programs include the
herringbone groove bearing lubrication of micro motor and
its optimization design, the super thin gas film lubrication
for the magnetic hard disk/head and its steady-state
design.

Solid Mechanics
Presents a systematic view of vibro-impact dynamics
based on the nonlinear dynamics analysis.
Comprehensive understanding of any vibro-impact system
is critically impeded by the lack of analytical tools viable for
properly characterising grazing bifurcation. The authors
establish vibro-impact dynamics as a subset of the theory
of discontinuous systems, thus enabling all vibro-impact
systems to be explored and characterised for applications.
Vibro-impact Dynamics presents an original theoretical
way of analysing the behavior of vibro-impact dynamics
that can be extended to discontinuous dynamics. All topics
are logically integrated to allow for vibro-impact dynamics,
the central theme, to be presented. It provides a unified
treatment on the topic with a sound theoretical base that is
applicable to both continuous and discrete systems.
Presents mapping dynamics to determine bifurcation and
chaos in vibro-impact systems.
Offers two simple vibro-impact systems with
comprehensive physical interpretation of complex
motions.
Uses the theory for discontinuous dynamical systems on
time-varying domains, to investigate the Fermi-oscillator.

Project Management
A hugely informative analysis and wide-ranging
commentary on the management of projects, designed for
practitioners and scholars, building lessons from the book's
history of the discipline's development, offering extensive
commentary on its practices and theoretical underpinnings,
and concluding with proposals to improve its value and
relevancy.
The book is designed to offer a thoughtful commentary on
project management as it has been practiced and taught
over the last 60 or more years, and as it may be over the
next 20 to 40, drawing on examples from several industry
sectors. Its thesis is that it all depends on how you define
the subject -- that much of our present thinking about PM
as traditionally defined is boring, sometimes conceptually
weak or even flawed, and/or of limited application, whereas
in reality what it can offer is exciting, challenging and
potentially enormously useful. The book explores this
hypothesis drawing on leading scholarship and practitioner
perceptions.
Section 1 sets the scene -- the purpose and context of the
book. Section 2 covers the origins of modern project
management and the limitations of the traditional project
management model. Section 3 dissects many of the
challenges still facing project management, in doing so it
examines many of the more difficult, interesting and
intractable issues in the discipline today. Section 4 focuses
on opportunities open to the discipline in the (increasingly
challenging) years ahead.
Precise, considered and reflective.
Grounded in research but speaks to both academics and
practitioners.
A seminal work from project management's pre-eminent
academic.
Project management academics. Thoughtful practitioners.
Postgraduate students world-wide.

Management, University College London (UCL), is well
