Abstract: Nowadays, offshore's complicated facilities need their
own communications requirements. Nevertheless, developing and
real-world applications of new communications technology are faced
with tremendous problems for new technology users, developers and
implementers. Traditional systems engineering cannot be capable to
develop a new technology effectively because it does not consider
the dynamics of the process. This paper focuses on the design of a
holistic model that represents the dynamics of new communication
technology development within offshore industry. The model shows
the behavior of technology development efforts. Furthermore,
implementing this model, results in new and useful insights about the
policy option analysis for developing a new communications
technology in offshore industry.
