Managing Positive and Negative Complexity: Design and Validation of an IT Project Complexity Management Framework KU Leuven

Stefanut Morcov
The world of IT engineering becomes more complex every day. IT products are larger and more complicated, projects are more and more challenging, difficult to manage and control. Complexity correlates with high risk, poor performance and high failure rates; thus the study of project complexity becomes more and more relevant for managing IT projects effectively.At the same time, IT contributes even more to the society and economy. Complexity is ...

Quantifying Microbial Dynamics as a Function of Temperature: Towards an Optimal Trade-Off Between Biological and Model Complexity (Kwantificering van de microbiële dynamica in functie van temperatuur: naar een optimale balans tussen biologische complexite KU Leuven

Eva Van Derlinden
Predictieve microbiologie tracht het gedrag van pathogenen en bederfmicr o-organismen te beschrijven aan de hand van wiskundige vergelijkingen. D e toepassing van predictieve modellen in de levensmiddelenindustrie heef t reeds geleid tot een verbeterde controle van voedselveiligheid en -kwa liteit. Bestaande predictieve modellen zijn gericht op eenvoudigheid en beschrijven voornamelijk het gedrag van de totale microbiële populatie. In deze ...

Noun phrase complexity in Nigerian English: Syntactic function and length outweigh genre in predicting noun phrase complexity Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Mayowa Olayori Akinlotan

Structural simplicity/complexity is an important variable with which New Englishes and native varieties are identified and conceptualised, but predicting such variation in complexity has received little attention in the literature. New Englishes, especially the outer circle varieties such as Nigerian or Indian English, differ in form and function from the inner circle varieties, such as British or American English, but the extent of such ...

The Order & Complexity Toolbox for Aesthetics (OCTA): A systematic approach to study the relations between order, complexity, and aesthetic appreciation KU Leuven

Eline Van Geert, Johan Wagemans
Do individuals prefer stimuli that are ordered or disordered, simple or complex, or that strike the right balance of order and complexity? Earlier research mainly focused on the separate influence of order and complexity on aesthetic appreciation. When order and complexity were studied in combination, stimulus manipulations were often not parametrically controlled, only rather specific types of order (i.e., balance or symmetry) were usually ...

A Practical Assessment of Modern IT Project Complexity Management Tools: Taming Positive, Appropriate, Negative Complexity KU Leuven

Stefanut Morcov, Liliane Pintelon
Complexity is ubiquitous in modern engineering and project management. It is traditionally associated with failure. Also, complexity works! It delivers functionality, creativity, innovation. Complexity management contributes to the success of high-risk IT projects, helps better project understanding, allows for better prioritization and planning of resources. Managing negative complexity reduces project risk. Positive and appropriate complexity ...

Universal Ethics: Organized Complexity as an Intrinsic Value Vrije Universiteit Brussel

J. P. Delahaye, Clement Vidal
How can we think about a universal ethics that could be adopted by any intelligent being, including the rising population of cyborgs, intelligent machines, intelligent algorithms or even potential extraterrestrial life? We generally give value to complex structures, to objects resulting from a long work, to systems with many elements and with many links finely adjusted. These include living beings, books, works of art or scientific theories. ...
