The Emergence of Activity Domain Theory

By IGI Global on Jun 18, 2010
The intricate nature of complex systems intrinsically requires a great deal of coordination. Systems such as large corporations reap major benefits from communication and planning.

IGI Global, an information science and technology publisher, is making great strides in fulfilling the need for research covering complex systems. One of IGI Global's most recent titles, Using Activity Domain Theory for Managing Complex Systems (authored by Lars Taxén, Linkoping University, Sweden) addresses the numerous issues of coordination in complex system environments. Using the revolutionary new concept of Activity Domain Theory (ADT), this publication provides insight into how foresight and planning may help a company to thrive, and how theory can be taken out of the world of academia and used in practice. Dr. Taxén gives researchers and practitioners the resources to begin understanding and implementing ADT, using real examples of his work with and observation of the Ericsson ™ Company. This expert resource breaks new ground surrounding this emerging theory and its applications.

Joakim Lilliesköld, PhD, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden calls this reference "an insightful book." He contends that "it addresses many theoretical trails and their possible impact on system development; usually one finds literature with just one issue addressed at a time. This approach makes this book interesting and useful for both practitioners and researches. For practitioners: since it actually deals with the full complexity faced in the development situation. For researchers: because it creates a meeting between different trails of theories and the problems faced by product developers."

To compliment this volume, IGI Global recommends the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) (editor-in-chief Vincenzo De Florio, University Antwerp, Belgium). IJARAS provides high quality, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive and dependable systems that are built to sustain quality of service and experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. Providing academicians, practitioners, and researchers with insight, this journal contains useful software and hardware aspects, conceptual models, applied and theoretical approaches, paradigms, and other technological innovations. For more information including details on subscriptions and submissions, and a free sample issue of the journal, visit www.igi-global.com/ijaras.
