this title introduces an extended, universal WAVE-WP model for
distributed processing and control in dynamic and open worlds of
any natures. The new control theory and technology introduced in
the book can be widely used for the design and implementation of
many distributed control systems, such as intelligent network
management for the Internet, mobile cooperative robots, Rapid
Reaction forces, future Combat Systems, robotics and AI, NMD, space
research on other planets, and other applications.
This title:
* Demonstrates a much simpler and more efficient application
programming
* Cultivates a new kind of thinking about how large dynamic systems
should be designed, organized, tasked, simulated, and
controlled
* Introduces an extended, universal WAVE-WP model for distributed
processing
* Compares the universal WAVE-WP model to other existing systems
used in intelligent networking
PETER S. SAPATY, PhD, is Director of Distributed Simulation and Control, Institute of Mathematical Machines and Systems, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. He also worked in Germany, UK, Canada, and Japan as project leader and research professor, and is currently a visiting professor at the University of Aizu in Japan.
