Theoretical Systems Ecology
Theoretical Systems Ecology: Advances and Case Studies aims to relate systems ecology theory to theoretical systems ecologists and other theoreticians in systems science. The main language of systems theory is mathematics. This book somewhat simplifies concepts, advances, and developments of the field to non-mathematicians who lack background in some aspects of systems ecology. It presents examples after every chapter that shows the application of theory to the development and analysis of models. This book generally focuses on three problems. The first problem is the selection of components found in the system model. The definition of the relationships and interactions between the system var...
Complex Systems: Spanning Control and Computational Cybernetics: Foundations
This book, dedicated to Professor Georgi M. Dimirovski on his anniversary, contains new research directions, challenges, and many relevant applications related to many aspects within the broadly perceived areas of systems and control, including signal analysis and intelligent systems. The project comprises two volumes with papers written by well known and very active researchers and practitioners. The first volume is focused on more foundational aspects related to general issues in systems science and mathematical systems, various problems in control and automation, and the use of computational and artificial intelligence in the context of systems modeling and control. The second volume is concerned with a presentation of relevant applications, notably in robotics, computer networks, telecommunication, fault detection/diagnosis, as well as in biology and medicine, and economic, financial, and social systems too.
Artificial Intelligence and Automatic Control
This presentation begins with a rapid survey of the evolution of autonomous (arguably intelligent?) control systems. Will such machines ever develop to a point where they possess properties analogous to consciousness? The remainder of the presentation broadly covers; Man's quest for unifying structural knowledge about Nature and about how Society works. Thus we find consideration of mathematics (is it man-made?), phenomena such as stability, causality, invariance, reversibility and determinism in the natural world and consideration of human aspects such as human beliefs and values (from where are they obtained?), political development and evolution. Nearly all the material here is in the form of quoted extracts from distinguished authorities (and much of what is quoted is interestingly controversial as I found from first hand experience). This document retains the staccato, slide plus text style of the original oral presentation, intended then, as now, to stimulate further investigation.
Re-engineering for Sustainable Industrial Production
In today's changing world, enterprises need to survive in an ever volatile competitive market environment. Their success will depend on the strategies they practice and adopt. Every year, new ideas and concepts are emerging in order for companies to become successful enterprises. Cross Border Enterprises is the new 'hot' topic arising in the business process world at present. Many terms have been coined together and are being driven in the popular business press to describe this new strategy of conducting business, ie. Extended Enterprise (Browne et al. , 1995; O'Neill and Sacket, 1994; Busby and Fan, 1993; Caskey, 1995), Virtual Enterprise (Goldmann and Preiss, 1991; Parunak, 1994; Goranson...
Control Systems Design 2003 (CSD '03)
The material presented in this volume represents current ideas, knowledge, experience and research results in various fields of control system design.
Rob Milne: A Tribute to a Pioneering AI Scientist, Entrepreneur and Mountaineer
Rob Milne was a remarkable man. He died of a heart attack on the 5th of June 2005 while climbing Mount Everest in Nepal. Milne (48) lived an active life: combining his three ‘careers’ seemingly effortlessly. He was a hi-tech entrepreneur, an AI researcher and a passionate mountaineer. Mount Everest was last on his list of the highest summits on each continent. He was only 400 meters from the top when he died. This publication commemorates and celebrates the life of Rob Milne. It covers all facets of Rob Milne's life and contains contributions by the people who have known him well and pay tribute to his life and his legacy. Rob Milne is survived by his wife Val and his two children Alex and Rosemary. After he died, his wife said in a radio interview: “Rob died at the top, doing what he loved.”
