Analysis, Control and Optimization of Complex Dynamic Systems

Complex systems present important challenges, in part due to their sheer size, which makes it difficult to grasp their dynamic behavior, optimize their operations, or study their reliability. Yet we live in a world where, due to increasing inter-dependencies and networking of systems, complexity has become the norm. This book gathers in a single volume a spectrum of complex dynamic systems-related papers written by experts in their fields, and strongly representative of current research trends.

Leading experts on complex dynamical systems have written cutting-edge chapter presentations on current methodological developments in telecommunications, manufacturing varieties of networks, global supply chain management, and biological systems Builds on simpler subsystems to complex dynamical systems, detailing interconnected components in the modeling processes of each chapter

Analysis, Control and Optimization of Complex Dynamic Systems gathers in a single volume a spectrum of complex dynamic systems related papers written by experts in their fields, and strongly representative of current research trends. Complex systems present important challenges, in great part due to their sheer size which makes it difficult to grasp their dynamic behavior, optimize their operations, or study their reliability. Yet, we live in a world where, due to increasing inter-dependencies and networking of systems, complexity has become the norm. With this in mind, the volume comprises two parts. The first part is dedicated to a spectrum of complex problems of decision and control encountered in the area of production and inventory systems. The second part is dedicated to large scale or multi-agent system problems occurring in other areas of engineering such as telecommunication and electric power networks, as well as more generic context.
