A set of five double-sided flyers (in pdf format) summarise the LSCITS Initiative:
4: Engineering Doctorate (EngD) Core Taught Modules
5: Engineering Doctorate (EngD) Options and Pathways
6: EngD Entry Details for September 2008
Flyers 1 to 5 all in one 10-page document
Two reports from 2004, each co-authored by a member of the LSCITS consortium, give some background to the problems and issues that the LSCITS Initiative is intended to address:
1: The Challenges of Complex IT Projects (Report from the Royal Academy of Engineering and the British Computer Society).
2: Complexity and Emergent Behaviour in ICT Systems (UK Government Office of Science and Technology briefing paper).
Short executive summaries of specific aspects of our work, suitable for non-expert readers.
1: Quantitative Analysis, with an example from cluster dependability.
3: Socio-Technical Systems Engineering.
6: Working Paper: Coping with Failure.
