Description
Summary:Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2008. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 107-108). === This thesis presents the design and implementation of a geographic information systems framework in which engineering systems can be created and analyzed. This framework extends the hierarchical systems knowledge representation framework to allow geospatial information to be attributed to model objects and viewed within geographic information system tools. The addition of geospatial information allows analysts to use spatial analysis to better learn about engineering systems. === by Reesa Brooke Phillips. === M.Eng.
