Rainer Bruggemann studied chemistry with a focus on theoretical and mathematical concepts. He was working at several research institutes and was teaching mathematical modelling in Environmental Chemistry at several universities. His interest also focuses on indicators and their analysis.
Lars Carlsen has more than 35 years of experience in R&D, technical support and training activities within the environmental field. His current research interests include areas like sustainable development, model tools, such as structure-activity relationships and ranking techniques as decision support tools and development and application of multi-criteria data analysis tools within environmental - and social science.
Tugce Beycan is currently finalizing her dissertation on multidimensional poverty in upper-middle-income countries at the department of sociology of University of Neuchâtel. She formerly worked at IPEC and department of statistics of ILO. Her research interests are poverty, quality of life, social bonds, capabilities, and child labour.
Christian Suter is Professor at the Department of Sociology of the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. His research has focused on social and economic inequalities, social indicators and quality of life, as well as on globalization and world society.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Indicators are more and more applied to describe and analyze complex systems. Typical examples: Innovation potential of nations, child-well being, Environmental health, poverty, chemical pollution, corruption of nations. The task is: How can a system of indicators be defined in order to fulfill the above expectations. One possibility is the application of the mathematical theory of partial order, especially when the indicator system shall be used for ranking purposes.
Caracteristici
Introduces and exemplify the role of indicators (Multi-indicator systems (MIS) to analyze complex systems The mathematical tool of partial order will be explained and is one method to analyze MIS. Partial order seems to be helpful, when MIS is to support decisions Complexity of the world implies complexity in calculus. Hence the book also describes software packages useful for application of partial order on MIS
