Systems are everywhere and we are surrounded by them. We are a complex amalgam of systems that enable us to interact with an endless array of external systems in our daily lives. They are electrical,
Multi-agent systems are claimed to be especially suited to the development of software systems that are decentralized, can deal flexibly with dynamic conditions, and are open to system components that
Fourth Generation (4G) wireless communication systems support current and emergent multimedia services such as mobile TV, social networks and gaming, high-definition TV, video teleconferencing, and me
Complex adaptive systems research employs multi-level and multidisciplinary representations of reality to study systems at all levels, from stock markets to social networks. This work provides a globa
Differential equations with delay naturally arise in various applications, such as control systems, viscoelasticity, mechanics, nuclear reactors, distributed networks, heat flows, neural networks, com
Bulusu (computer science, Portland State University) and Jha (computer science, University of New South Wales, Australia) offer an in-depth understanding of wireless sensor networks from a systems per
Broadband Powerline Communications: Network Design covers the applications of broadband PLC systems in low-voltage supply networks, a promising candidate for the realization of cost effective solution
In recent years, scientists have applied the principles of complex systems science to increasingly diverse fields. The results have been nothing short of remarkable: their novel approaches have provid
The study of complex systems has attracted a broad range of researchers from many disciplines spanning both the hard and soft sciences. In the Autumn of 1997, 300 of these researchers came together fo
This book brings an overview of the necessary notions related to Lp-stability, impulsive delayed systems, switched systems, approximate dynamic programming, reinforcement learning, Markov processes, e
This book is a study of the interactions between different types of systems, their environment, and their subsystems. The author explains how basic systems principles are applied in engineered (mechan
Differential flatness is a property of some dynamic systems that allows for the simplification of feedback controller design problems to sets of decoupled linear time invariant systems through the par
This book presents the latest tools, techniques, and solutions that decision makers use to overcome the challenges faced by their sustainable supply chains. Given the ever increasing significance of s
This book describes issues in modeling unconventional conflict and suggests a new way to do the modeling. It presents an ontology that describes the unconventional conflict domain, which allows for g
Applying the latest deterministic chaos and nonlinear analysis methodologies to global politics, this volume provides mathematical models for political and economic concerns, using fractals and other
Complexity, Cognition and the City aims at a deeper understanding of urbanism, while invoking, on an equal footing, the contributions both the hard and soft sciences have made, and are still making, w
Artificial life, a field that seeks to increase the role of synthesis in the study ofbiological phenomena, has great potential, both for unlocking the secrets of life and for raising ahost of disturbi
Constitutional Dynamic Chemistry: Bridge from Supramolecular Chemistry to Adaptive Chemistry, by Jean-Marie Lehn Multistate and Phase Change Selection in Constitutional Multivalent Systems, by Mihail
Modelling Distributed Energy Resources in Energy Service Networks focuses on modelling two key infrastructures in urban energy systems with embedded technologies. These infrastructures are natural gas
“Computing Networks” explores the core of the new distributed computing infrastructures we are using today: the networking systems of clusters, grids and clouds. It helps network designers and distri
Optical communication networks have played and will continue to play a prominent role in the development and deployment of communication network infrastructures. New optical systems and protocols wil
