A Theory for Complex Systems Social Change: An Application of a General ‘Criticality’ Model [PDF]
Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems, 2015 Within the developed nations deterioration in the basis of society, as dramatically demonstrated by the Lehman collapse, has reached extreme levels, and currently the formation of pro-change agents is approaching a decisive stage. Here, we will construct

A method to identify the weakest link in urban drainage systems
Water Science and Technology, 2023 Urban drainage systems are composed of subsystems. The ratio of the storage and discharge capacities of the subsystems determines the performance. The performance of the urban water system may deteriorate as a result of the change in the ratio of storage

A Lazy Bailout Approach for Dual-Criticality Systems on Uniprocessor Platforms
Designs, 2019 A challenge in the design of cyber-physical systems is to integrate the scheduling of tasks of different criticality, while still providing service guarantees for the higher critical tasks in the case of resource-shortages caused by faults.
