The Detection of Avalanche Propagation in Engineering Change

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to avoid avalanche propagation in engineering change that is high-risk and high-cost, two methods for the detection of avalanche propagation were proposed. Firstly, analyzed the reasons for the avalanche propagation and its main features: constraint conflict and/or a great many affected elements. Then, the methods for the detection of those two features based on directed graph and complex networks respectively were proposed. Finally, the experiment of managing a type of transmission was employed to validate our method and it showed the correctness of the proposed method.
