Abstract. Well-known hierarchies discriminate between the computational power of discrete time and space dynamical systems. A contrario the situation is more confused for dynamical...
We describe a method to axiomatize computations in deterministic Turing machines (TMs). When applied to computations in non-deterministic TMs, this method may produce contradictor...
The ‘engineering’ and ‘adaptive’ approaches to system production are distinguished. It is argued that producing reliable self-organised software systems (SOSS) will necessa...
Formal analysis remains outside the mainstream of system design practice. Interactive methods and tools are regarded by some to be on the margin of useful research in this area. Al...
The busy beaver problem is to find the maximum number of 1’s that can be printed by an n-state Turing machine of a particular type. A critical step in the evaluation of this va...
