Graham Mathieson was a Fellow of the UK MOD's Defence Science and
Technology Laboratory where he was a member of the Human Systems
Team. He was an innovative thinker who made significant
contributions to the understanding and analysis of military command
and control, with particular emphasis in recent years on the proper
representation of humans in models. His work had an impact not only
in the UK, but worldwide via NATO working groups, the DOD's CCRP,
and collaborative international projects. He was a major
contributor to the NATO Code of Best Practice for C2 Analysis.
Graham was passionate about the rigorous use of science to inform
decision making, and was well known for challenging his colleagues'
ideas with constructive arguments that were based on his own clear
and innovative thinking. This volume brings together selected works
from Graham's published writings on complex human systems in
military operations research, which should be of interest to human
systems researchers in both the military and civilian domains. Part
I ("Scoping the Problem Space") brings together three chapters that
represent Graham's later works on complexity thinking and how it
might be applied to human organizations. The extent to which he
embraced the new complexity paradigm is clear, and how he was
beginning to weave it into the needs of OA customers. Part II
("Confronting the Problem Space") contains papers that are much
less general and abstract, and address specific issues in the
complex world of human systems modeling.
