We present a new set of metrics for analyzing the interaction between the modules of a large software system. We believe that these metrics will be important to any automatic or s...
— The task in control allocation is to determine how to generate a specified generalized force from a redundant set of control effectors where the associated actuator control in...
In this paper we face a problem for chemical processes in a production system; items should undergo chemical reactions in different baths to be processed by the system. Recipes f...
Formal methods are a nice idea, but the size and complexity of real systems means that they are impractical. We propose that a reasonable alternative to attempting to specify and ...
The maintenance of organisation is a prerequisite for all viable systems in dynamic environments. In many living systems this organisation is, in part, achieved through coordinati...
