Abstract:The paper addresses design/building frameworks for some kinds of tree-like and hierarchical structures of systems. The following approaches are examined: (1) expert-based procedure, (2) hierarchical clustering; (3) spanning problems (e.g., minimum spanning tree, minimum Steiner tree, maximum leaf spanning tree problem; (4) design of organizational "optimal" hierarchies; (5) design of multi-layer (e.g., three-layer) k-connected network; (6) modification of hierarchies: (i) modification of tree via condensing of… Show more
