We dedicate this book to Donald E. Broadbent who suddenly and unexpectedly passed away during the final stages of the project. He was both an initiator and a very active contributor to the complex problem-solving scenes in Europe and North America, and was, perhaps more than anybody else, familiar with, and comfortably working within, the two approaches. Donald Broadbent will be deeply missed. Contents Contributors Preface PART ONE: INTRODUCTION 1 Definitions, Traditions, and a General Framework for Understanding Complex Problem Solving Peter A.
