A well-specified parametrization for single-input/single-output (SISO) linear port-Hamiltonian systems amenable to structure-preserving supervised learning is provided. The construction is based on controllable and observable normal form ...$\mathcal{}$$\mathcal{}{}^{\mathrm{}}$

There has been a proliferation of new research discovery tools that aid scientists in finding relevant publications. To obtain a general overview of this development, this article generates a conceptual typology of all possible research discovery tools ...

Shared services may lead to improved organizational performance through better resource utilization. This management idea has been widely adopted in the public sector in the past two decades, e.g. for digital excellence in the Nordics and elsewhere. ...

We describe a formalized systems theoretic method for creating cyber-physical system (CPS) risk overlays that augment existing tree-based models used in CPS risk and threat analysis processes. This top-down approach objectively scopes the system's ...

Kahneman's theory of two systems assumes that human decision making in Economy is based on two cognitive systems, one that is automatic, intuitive and mostly unconscious, and one that is reflexive, rational and fully conscious. The authors ...

The article sets the task of substantiating the need for a philosophic-methodological analysis development of information-communication technologies (ICT). A multilevel classification of ICT is proposed. It is concluded that by now the possibilities of ...

A sense of stagnation has been spreading over globally, causing political frictions, discrimination, poverty, gender issues, economic disparity, and so on. It is important for the government, politicians, policymakers, and researchers to show positive ...

This is a case study concerning technology start-up companies involved in systems thinking during new product development. It is found that systems thinking is pivotal to assisting project managers in moving a project from start to successful ...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the foundational premises of service-dominant S-D logic through systemic and paradoxical thinking. Systemic thinking seeks to understand phenomena holistically and elementarily, while paradoxical thinking is ...

According to Ashby, emergent behavior manifest itself due to a lack of understanding of the system. The problem while apparent in monolithic systems takes on center-stage in a system of system (SoS), components of which are geographically displaced and ...

Stability and sensitivity analyses of biological systems require the ad hoc writing of computer code, which is highly dependent on the particular model and burdensome for large systems. We propose a very accurate strategy to overcome this challenge. Its ...

As currently used, systems theory is lacking a universally agreed upon definition. The purpose of this paper is to offer a resolution by articulating a formal definition of systems theory. This definition is presented as a unified group of specific ...

Thinking about human systems integration is thinking human, system and human-system for designing and organizing system of systems from human-machine level to socio-technological level. For critical human in-the-loop systems there is a strong need of ...

Currently, the widely used notion of activity is increasingly present in computer science. However, because this notion is used in specific contexts, it becomes vague. Here, the notion of activity is scrutinized in various contexts and, accordingly, put ...

Traditional safety techniques were created 40-50 years ago for electro-mechanical systems. The underlying assumptions of these techniques about the cause of accidents (e.g., component failure) do not match software nor do they match the types of ...

Modeling and simulation of Human respiratory system is evolving in a rapid pace. Reason behind this, is the emerging need to understand physiological phenomenon from systems theory. It is not only helpful to support respiration externally, it is useful ...

High-throughput methods systematically measure the internal state of the entire cell, but powerful computational tools are needed to infer dynamics from their raw data. Therefore, we have developed a new computational method, Eigen-genomic System ...

The scope and complexity of engineered systems are ever-increasing as burgeoning global markets, unprecedented technological capabilities, rising consumer expectations, and ever-changing social requirements present difficult design challenges that often ...

In this paper, we discuss the Kalman filter for state estimation in noisy linear discrete-time dynamical systems. We give an overview of its history, its mathematical and statistical formulations, and its use in applications. We describe a novel ...

In today's increasingly volatile environments, evolvability is quickly becoming the most desirable characteristic of information systems. Current information systems still struggle to provide these high levels of evolvability. Based on the concept of ...
