The invention broadly and generally provides a method for calibrating the relationship between management-inherent complexity metrics deriving from the management structure and human perceived complexity of information technology management comprising: (a) obtaining a set of management-inherent complexity metrics; (b) obtaining a set of human-perceived complexity metrics; (c) constructing a control model identifying a set of dominant indicators selected from the aforesaid set of management-inherent complexity metrics; (d) establishing a value model mapping from the aforesaid set of dominant indicators to the aforesaid set of human-perceived complexity metrics.

System and method for calibrating and extrapolating management-inherent complexity metrics and human-perceived complexity metrics of information technology management

Techniques for forming a document model for constructing a semantically and syntactically valid document are provided. In one embodiment, a method for forming a document model for constructing a semantically and syntactically valid document includes the steps of: creating a root tag element corresponding to a root of the document to be constructed, the root tag element including information relating to a corresponding tag; associating one or more model elements with the root tag element, each model element representing an alternative to the information relating to the corresponding tag; and for each of the model elements, creating a syntactically and semantically valid sub-tree of elements based at least in part upon a structure of the document to be constructed under one or more predetermined conditions.
