Managing Distributed Dynamic Systems with Spatial Grasp Technology - Sapaty, Peter Simon

. .

Résumé :
The book describes a novel ideology and supporting information technology for integral management of both civil and defence-orientated large, distributed dynamic systems. The approach is based on a high-level Spatial Grasp Language, SGL, expressing solutions in physical, virtual, executive and combined environments in the form of active self-evolving and self-propagating patterns spatially matching the systems to be created, modified and controlled. The communicating interpreters of SGL can be installed in key system points, which may be in large numbers (up to millions and billions) and represent equipped humans, robots, laptops, smartphones, smart sensors, etc. Operating under gestalt-inspired scenarios in SGL initially injected from any points, these systems can be effectively converted into goal-driven spatial machines (rather than computers asdealing with physical matter too) capable of responding to numerous challenges caused by growing world dynamics in the 21st century. Including numerous practical examples, the book is a valuable resource for system managers and programmers.

Biographie:
Dr Peter Simon Sapaty, Chief Research Scientist, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, has been working with networked systems for five decades. Outside of Ukraine, he has worked in the Czech Republic, Germany, the UK, Canada, and Japan as a group leader, Alexander von Humboldt researcher, and visiting professor. He launched and chaired the SIG on Mobile Cooperative Technologies in Distributed Interactive Simulation project in the US, and invented a distributed control technology that resulted in a European patent and books with Wiley and Springer. He has published more than 200 papers on distributed systems, and has been included in the Marquis Who's Who in the World and Cambridge Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century. Peter also works with several international scientific journals, including as editor-in-chief....
