Often information required for problem solving is not directly available for a complex system. This can be explained by considering the development department of a company: A possible question might address the ways in which developers depend on each other because of their design tasks. This information may be difficult to acquire directly. The objective network required for answering the question represents the dependencies connecting the developers. However, in information acquisition (see Chapter 6) this network is difficult to create if the focus is only on developers and their mutual dependencies.
