Complex System: Using Complex Objects for Predicting and Controlling the Future (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore how complex objects and rules model predicting and controlling future outcomes.
This book presents Complex Systems as a way to describe how data, time, and behavior fit together. It explains how complex objects become the building blocks for forecasting future states and guiding decisions toward user-defined goals. You’ll see how a futuristic query language and an efficient processing method work together to answer time‑sensitive questions.
The discussion covers how to limit uncertainty, using ideas from control theory and operations research. It also explains when these systems are especially useful, such as in engineering, industry, and large organizational applications.
- Understand the core idea of a complex object consisting of data, relationships, and integrity constraints.
- See how transformation rules describe local changes and drive system trajectories.
- Learn about handling uncertainty with three-valued logic and marked subobjects.
- Discover the futuristic query language and the Propagation Algorithm to predict and influence outcomes.
Ideal for readers seeking a structured approach to modeling large, time‑dependent systems and making informed, goal‑driven decisions.

Complex System: Using Complex Objects for Predicting and Controlling the Future
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, part of a complex systems research tradition, introduces Complex Systems as an approach to modeling, predicting, and controlling behavior in complex engineered systems. The author proposes that structured data, represented as complex objects, can be used to model the behavior of such systems, with transformation rules describing local changes to the system. The method builds on existing object-oriented approaches while introducing additional features such as time and non-determinism. The resulting model can be used for both prediction and control, with the author proposing an optimization problem formulation to restrict non-determinism and achieve optimal system performance. The book is an important contribution to the field of complex systems, providing a comprehensive framework for modeling and analyzing their behavior, with applications in engineering, industrial, and organizational systems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333048839_0
