Studies in Systems, Decision and Control

Sapaty, Peter S.

The word “spatial” fundamentally relates to human existence and activity in any terrestrial and celestial spaces. It refers to the location, arrangement, and distribution of things, including human activities, people, and resources, across the Earth's surface and within physical and virtual environments. The book provides philosophical, psychological, and technological approach for investigation and management of any spatial organizations and systems, using for this the developed, patented and published in eleven books Spatial Grasp Model and Technology (SGT) based on spatial coverage and management of distributed dynamic systems. It historically evolved from the WAVE approach which allowed more than half a century ago for implementation of citywide computer networks, before the internet.  It will compares SGT with the concept of algorithm confirming universality of the former for spatial and distributed systems, with the latter just being tools for concrete applications, and with massive spatial phenomena like virus, smog, radiation, rain, etc. which are far more general and global than algorithmic sequences. The self-organizing spatial features of the approach may also relate to non-algorithmic ideas becoming popular especially in relation to living organisms and societies where traditional algorithmic models are becoming insufficient. The book is oriented on system scientists, application programmers, industry managers, defence and security commanders, emergency agencies, university students, philosophers, psychologists too.
