Morphology and Simulation of Project Networks

Abstract

So far, project networks have been studied in terms of:

• • the definition of their elements (arcs and nodes);

• • their analytical properties (sequentiality, criticality, etc.);

• • alternative meaning to represent projects (AoA and AoN);

• • structural concepts (hierarchical levels, concepts decomposition and reduction analysis)

However, most project managers rely heavily on their assessment of the so-called “type” of network which is really based on its “shape” or morphology given a representation systems.
