Supervisor Localization
A Top-Down Approach to Distributed Control of Discrete-Event Systems
Language: English
Release Date: June 23, 2015
This monograph presents a systematic top-down approach to distributed control synthesis of discrete-event systems (DES). The approach is called supervisor localization; its essence is the allocation of external supervisory control action to individual component agents as their internal control strategies....

Husserlian Phenomenology
A Unifying Interpretation
Language: English
Release Date: January 12, 2016
This book unifies a large part of the vast body of Husserlian phenomenology using a relatively simple set of dynamical laws. The underlying idea of the book is that a certain core theory of “world-constitution” in Husserl can be formalized and presented in less than 100 pages, with the aid of...

Complex Networks VII
Proceedings of the 7th Workshop on Complex Networks CompleNet 2016
Language: English
Release Date: March 10, 2016
The last decades have seen the emergence of Complex Networks as the language with which a wide range of complex phenomena in fields as diverse as Physics, Computer Science, and Medicine (to name just a few) can be properly described and understood. This book provides a view of the state of the art...
Stochastic Foundations in Movement Ecology
Anomalous Diffusion, Front Propagation and Random Searches
Language: English
Release Date: September 18, 2013
This book presents the fundamental theory for non-standard diffusion problems in movement ecology. Lévy processes and anomalous diffusion have shown to be both powerful and useful tools for qualitatively and quantitatively describing a wide variety of spatial population ecological phenomena and dynamics,...

Breakdown in Traffic Networks
Fundamentals of Transportation Science
Language: English
Release Date: May 26, 2017
This book offers a detailed investigation of breakdowns in traffic and transportation networks. It shows empirically that transitions from free flow to so-called synchronized flow, initiated by local disturbances at network bottlenecks, display a nucleation-type behavior: while small disturbances...
