In this thesis, we use passivity theory as an approach for dealing with dynamical systems, and demonstrate how to apply it to software systems in a general way. We first cover key results from passivity theory. Then, using an example, simulated system, we demonstrate how to design a controller which guarantees asymptotic BIBO stability for a system using a passivity based control, or PBC, approach. Finally, we examine more complex software systems from other publications, Proteus and Pyro, and demonstrate how to apply passivity theory to these kinds of systems.
