Building a Comprehensive Conceptual Framework for Power Systems Resilience Metrics
Recently, the frequency and severity of natural and man-made disasters (extreme events), which have a high-impact low-frequency (HILF) property, are increased. These disasters can lead to extensive outages, damages, and costs in electric power systems. A power system must be built with “resilience” against disasters, which means its ability to withstand disasters efficiently while ensuring the ...
متن کاملA Computational Framework for Modeling Targets as Complex Adaptive Systems
Modeling large military targets is a challenge as they can be complex systems encompassing myriad combinations of human, technological, and social elements that interact, leading to complex behaviors. Moreover, such targets have multiple components and structures, extending across multiple spatial and temporal scales, and are in a state of change, either in response to events in the environment...
متن کاملOMACS a Framework for Adaptive, Complex Systems
This chapter introduces a suite of technologies for building complex, adaptive systems. It is based in the multi-agent systems paradigm and uses the Organization Model for Adaptive Computational Systems (OMACS). OMACS defines the knowledge needed about a system’s structure and capabilities to allow it to reorganize at runtime in the face of a changing environment and its agent’s capabilities. H...
متن کاملA Framework for Complex Adaptive Systems
In this paper, we provide a general purpose simulation framework for complex adaptive systems. Our framework will deal with a number of important criteria including self-organization, emergence, and others. We then show that the framework can capture the common underlying structure of complex adaptive systems through demonstrating its application in specific biological domains.
متن کاملAustralian rangelands as complex adaptive systems: A conceptual model and preliminary results
Models that seek to guide decisions on policy in rangelands must address the close links between ecological, economic, and social processes, and the adaptation of participants through time. We used an agent-based modeling approach to implement a parsimonious conceptual model of rangelands that includes biophysical processes central to the functioning of rangelands, commercial enterprises, and i...
