Modelling of Anticipatory Behaviour for Self-Control and Adaptability with Applications to Autonomous Systems
H.J. Kadim · 2007
A system or a process could be viewed as a set of events being executed in a particular manner to satisfy certain objectives. The assertion and execution of an event(s) may be governed by a set of parameters, internal and external to the system. Variation in parameters may impair the functionality of the system, with potentially undesirable consequences. To allow for self-control and adaptability of a system to mitigate the effect of abnormal events - caused by unwarranted parameter changes - there is a need for a predictive model to determine the system's future behaviour. This paper presents an analytical method to predict system behaviour related to anticipation of certain events.
