Abstract
The paper discusses theoretical foundations of a formal description of monitoring and control systems (MTSs) that are used for the monitoring and control of various natural and technological systems (NTSs). The performed state-of-theart analysis has demonstrated that the theory, methods and techniques related to the application of various types of models, such as mathematical, logical-algebraic, logical-linguistic, simulation and combined ones, for describing NTO MCS are widely used. On that basis, a conceptual description of NTO monitoring and control systems is proposed. It is based on a concept of NTO MCS multi-model description. The proposed general model includes particular dynamic models that describe motion control, channel control, operation control, flow control, resource control, operation parameter control, structure dynamic control, and auxiliary operation control of the considered monitoring and control system. The proposed interpretation of NTO MCS structure dynamics control processes provides advantages of applying the modern optimal control theory to NTO MCS analysis and synthesis.
Highlights
Within the analysis of natural and technological systems (NTSs) structure and dynamics, two types of systems have been researched – artifacts and natural-ecological objects
Artifacts include a variety of objects that are manmade or pertaining to a process or substance created by human technology, for example, energy production buildings, factories and manufactories, infrastructure
One of the main features of modern natural and technical-technological objects (NTOs) monitoring and control systems (MCSs) is the changeability of their parameters and structures due to objective and subjective causes at different stages of the NTO MCS life cycle
Summary
Within the analysis of NTS structure and dynamics, two types of systems have been researched – artifacts (technicaltechnological objects) and natural-ecological objects. Artifacts include a variety of objects that are manmade or pertaining to a process or substance created by human technology, for example, energy production buildings (hydroelectric power stations, gas storages and wind farms), factories and manufactories (bakery, beverages, construction material, steel and other metal material, textile and garment, wood), infrastructure (bridges, bus terminals, dams, pipes, railroads, roads and train stations). Within the analysis of NTS structure and dynamics, research was conducted on natural and ecological NTS – flood mapping systems, wildfire monitoring systems, land use monitoring systems, automatic detection of coastline change monitoring systems and forest land cover changes
