True
False

Question 3
Managing complex systems is the main thrust of EA. The complexity of these systems have characteristic properties that indicate:
|
|
1. |
Their origins are based the systems requirements |
|
|
2. |
Their structure and behavior are similar to simple systems |
|
|
3. |
Their ability to grow an EA system is less difficult |
|
|
4. |
Their structure and behavior are fundamentally different from simple systems |

Question 4
The following are some structural characteristics of complex systems except for:
|
|
1. |
Composed of many components |
|
|
2. |
A variety of states |
|
|
3. |
Many channels of interaction with the environment |
|
|
4. |
Shows similar behavior under similar external conditions |
|
|
5. |
The system has an internal state |
2 points
Question 5
The textbook suggests that one of the guiding principles of managing complexity in EA is strengthen the complex system's ability to change, rather than to optimize the current state.
True
False
