Extending Life Concepts to Complex Systems*
There is still no consensus definition of complex systems. This article explores, as a heuristic approach, the possibility of using notions associated with life as transversal concepts for defining complex systems. This approach is developed within a general classification of systems, with complex systems considered as a general ‘living things’ category and living organisms as a specialised cla...
متن کاملExtending interpreted systems with some deontic concepts
We investigate an extension of interpreted systems to model correct functioning behaviour of agents and of the system as a whole. We combine this notion with the standard epistemic notions defined on interpreted systems to provide a formalism to reason about knowledge that agents are permitted to hold under ideal functioning circumstances. We then extend this by introducing a doubly-indexed ope...
متن کاملExtending FeatuRSEB with Concepts from Systems Engineering
FeatuRSEB is a method for domain modeling of software system families using the industry standard notation of the Unified Modeling Language. FeatuRSEB/Sys is an extension of FeatuRSEB with constructs from the SysML profile for systems engineering, augmenting it with analysis and modeling mechanisms that are upstream from the original method, while nevertheless conserving the advantages of an in...
متن کاملThe Paradox of Intervening in Complex Adaptive Systems; Comment on “Using Complexity and Network Concepts to Inform Healthcare Knowledge Translation”
This commentary addresses two points raised by Kitson and colleagues’ article. First, increasing interest in applying the Complexity Theory lens in healthcare needs further systematic work to create some commonality between concepts used. Second, our need to adopt a better understanding of how these systems organise so we can change the systems overall behaviour, creates a paradox. We seek to m...
متن کاملExtending PSSA for Complex Systems Professor
Preliminary System Safety Assessment (PSSA) is a key stage of the safety process in the civil aerospace community. It is identified in ARP 4754/4761 as the stage in the safety process concerned with validating systems architecture, and producing derived safety requirements on system components. A very similar approach has been adopted by EUROCONTROL for Air Traffic Management (ATM). The process...
