Topology Control and Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in Cyber-Physical System by Ang Li, Chen Zhang, Baoyu Zheng, Lei Li

“…The system reachability set is calculated by covering all possible behaviours of the system through a finite number of simulation steps to ensure that the system trajectory stays within a set safety region. In this paper, the theory of the game method is applied to the design of the controller, a very small controller is designed, and good control results are obtained by simulation. …”

Heterogeneous population dynamics and scaling laws near epidemic outbreaks by Andreas Widder, Christian Kuehn

“…Then we consider noise terms to incorporate the fluctuation effects and therandom import of the disease into the population and analyse the influence of heterogeneityon warning signs for critical transitions (or tipping points). This theory shows that one maybe able to anticipate whether a bifurcation point is close before it happens. …”

Elegance as Complexity Reduction in Systems Design by Luca Iandoli, Letizia Piantedosi, Alejandro Salado, Giuseppe Zollo

“…In this work, we analyze elegance in the context of systems engineering using a perspective that integrates visual art, Gestalt psychology, neuroscience, and complexity theory. In particular, we measure elegance as effective complexity and theorize that it can be achieved by a process of complexity resolution based on the adoption of eight visual heuristics. …”
