Modern developments intensify the effects of uncertainty, complexity, and dynamics in every aspect of personal and social life. The individual and the technologist are forced to cope with problems that were not appreciated, much less formulated or solved, until very recently in history. Striking progress is being made in the conception and implementation of rational systems. The purpose of this series is to disseminate the understanding necessary to place man in a position of decision and control in the governance of his artifacts and enterprises.
