The purpose of this paper is to describe a proposed framework for policy analysis and design in complex systems based on the transfer to such systems of control modules developed for simplier and more easily quantified systems. The framework is demonstrated by outlining the development of a dynamic allocation algorithm within a system dynamics model of an engineering system and describing its application in a much larger scale amanagement system. A generalised form of the algorithm is presented based on this experience which serves to highlight its isomorphic qualities. It is suggested that this framework provides an integrated approach to structural policy analysis in complex systems which can also be used to generate significant insights and perspectives into both the physical and control structure systems.
