Lays out a vision for a coherent framework for understanding complex systems. By developing the idea of Brownian agents, this work combines concepts from informatics, such as multiagent systems, with approaches of statistical many-particle physics. It also shows that Brownian ag…
This book bridges fundamental gaps between control theory and formal methods. Although it focuses on discrete-time linear and piecewise affine systems, it also provides general frameworks for abstraction, analysis, and control of more general models. The book is self-contained, …
This book examines discrete dynamical systems with memory--nonlinear systems that exist extensively in biological organisms and financial and economic organizations, and time-delay systems that can be discretized into the memorized, discrete dynamical systems. It book further di…

This volume includes a selection of papers presented at the second workshop on Robot Kinematics held in Linz, September 10-12, 1990. The papers present new results and overviews on various aspects of robot kinematics such as modelling and computation, analysis and design, motion…
This book explores the universe and its subsystems from the three lenses of evolutionary (diversifying), developmental (converging), and complex (adaptive) processes at all scales. It draws from prolific experts within the academic disciplines of complexity science, physical sci…
This book introduces readers to the topical area of CSI: critical space infrastructure, which is defined as an emerging domain of systems-of-systems encompassing hardware, workforce, environment, facilities, business and organizational entities. Further, it includes unmanned air…
This second of three volumes from the inaugural NODYCON, held at the University of Rome, in February of 2019, presents papers devoted to Nonlinear Dynamics and Control. The collection features both well-established streams of research as well as novel areas and emerging fields o…
