Abstract

The life span of artifacts can be viewed as a continuum. At one extreme, disposable materials, components and products go from cradle to grave with very little life in between. At the other extreme, complex systems and infrastructure can stand for decades, centuries, or millennia, slowly evolving based on performance and changing stakeholder needs. This work follows the development of the Charles River Dam in Boston, Massachusetts from its inception to the present in order to explore the design issues of complex systems over the entire life cycle.
