A study of complex systems developed through public private partnerships

Published: 27 October 2014 Publication History

Abstract

Complex information systems are socio-technical systems that are increasingly developed through Public Private Partnerships. These systems tend to encompass multiple stakeholders, software programs and technical components along with heavy investments. Many factors influence the development of a successful complex system. The well-recognized case study methodology is used to explore influencing factors in the complex system development. The case used in the research is the development of "Cyber-enabled Wireless Monitoring System for the Protection of Deteriorating National Infrastructure Systems." The ongoing research shows several technical and social factors influencing complex system development. Team members are often prepared for the technical challenges and it is the unanticipated administrative tasks that make the system development challenging.
