Managing complexity in high-concentration flow modelling aimed at hazard assessment: numerical and practical aspects
… measures. However, the intrinsic phenomenon complexity makes high-concentration flow modelling and hazard assessment quite challenging. In this thesis, some of the effects of high-concentration flow complexity on modelling are experienced directly and suitable solutions are proposed, to make …

Cultivating Creativity in Aerospace Systems Engineering to Manage Complexity
<p>In recent decades, complexity in aerospace programs has been increasing, leading to large budget and schedule overruns. Many of the risks of complex system development can be attributed to the inadequacy of linear methods when applied to nonlinear domains, i.e., oversimplification in a program …

Timed model-based programming : executable specifications for robust mission-critical sequences
… execution conditions, due to the high level of complexity in the control specification required to manage the complex spacecraft system interactions. This work describes timed model-based programming, a novel approach for encoding and robustly executing mission-critical spacecraft sequences. The …

Interacting neural networks: an architecture for modelling distributed parameter dynamical systems
… The scaling problem manifests itself when the complexity of a model increases in a manner which is unmanageable as the problem size increases. The INN architecture solves the scaling problem by using the philosophy of interacting subsystems which is a general methodology for managing …
