Preface
The past decades have witnessed various applications of systems engineering methodologies to urban planning, economic models, power systems, industrial processes, transportation networks, and others. Due to economic factors and sociopolitical constraints, a fundamental constituent of these applications is frequently described by the following attributes: multidimensional, highly interacting, and complex models. Several approaches have been developed [2–4, 6, 11, 14] to deal with these models with the intention of reducing some measure of complexity in the course of analysis and design. Concepts and key ideas from economics, management science, and operation research have been exploited successfully and generalized in a dynamic framework. These continuous efforts systematically establish a body of theories pertaining to interconnected systems (ICS). The voluminous literature on theories and applications of large-scale systems (LSS), interconnec
