Verification of Complex Adaptive Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Verification is the process of assessing how well a system meets a specification or requirement. A variety of approaches have appeared in the literature, ranging from model checking to static analysis of source code and theorem proving. In this working group, we primarily focused on verification based on model checking [2, 13], in which a state-based description of the system is assessed with respect to a property expressed in an appropriate specification language, like a temporal logic. In particular, we considered the challenges that arise in the model checking of Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), which are systems comprised of a large number of heterogeneous agents which, interacting together, produce a complex array of collective behaviours. In our working group in Dagstuhl, we first identified the major issues and more interesting challenges that arise in the process of verification of CAS. Afterwards, we divided in two subgroups to discuss in detail specific topics related to this general framework. In particular, we chose to investigate: (1) the quantitative or stochastic model checking in the presence of uncertainty, and (2) the specifications and logics which capture the spatial arrangements of systems, characterising the impact of those arrangements on collective behaviour. A brief account of each subgroup is given below.

A more sophisticated understanding of the unpredictable, disorderly and unstable aspects of healthcare organisations is developing in the knowledge translation (KT) literature. In an article published in this journal, Kitson et al introduced a new model for KT in healthcare based on complexity theory. The Knowledge Translation Complexity Network Model (KTCNM) provides a fresh perspective by mak...
متن کاملThe Paradox of Intervening in Complex Adaptive Systems; Comment on “Using Complexity and Network Concepts to Inform Healthcare Knowledge Translation”
This commentary addresses two points raised by Kitson and colleagues’ article. First, increasing interest in applying the Complexity Theory lens in healthcare needs further systematic work to create some commonality between concepts used. Second, our need to adopt a better understanding of how these systems organise so we can change the systems overall behaviour, creates a paradox. We seek to m...

In this paper, an optimal adaptive sliding mode controller is proposed for anti-synchronization of two identical hyperchaotic systems. We use hyperchaotic complex T-system for master and slave systems with unknown parameters in the slave system. To construct the optimal adaptive sliding mode controller, first a simple sliding surface is designed. Then, the optimal adaptive sliding mode controll...
متن کاملReachability checking in complex and concurrent software systems using intelligent search methods
Software system verification is an efficient technique for ensuring the correctness of a software product, especially in safety-critical systems in which a small bug may have disastrous consequences. The goal of software verification is to ensure that the product fulfills the requirements. Studies show that the cost of finding and fixing errors in design time is less than finding and fixing the...
