The ideas of this book originate from the mobile WAVE approach which allowed us, more than a half century ago, to implement citywide heterogeneous computer networks and solve distributed problems on them well before the internet. The invented paradigm evolved into Spatial Grasp Technology and resulted in a European patent and eight books. The volumes covered concrete applications in graph and network theory, defense and social systems, crisis management, simulation of global viruses, gestalt theory, collective robotics, space research, and related concepts. The obtained solutions often exhibited high system qualities like global integrity, distributed awareness, and even consciousness. This current book takes these important characteristics as primary research objectives, together with the theory of patterns covering them all. This book is oriented towards system scientists, application programmers, industry managers, defense and security commanders, and university students (especially those interested in advanced MSc and PhD projects on distributed system management), as well as philosophers, psychologists, and United Nations personnel.

"The ideas of this book originate from the mobile WAVE approach which allowed us, more than half century ago, to implement citywide heterogeneous computer networks and solve distributed problems on them well before the internet. The invented paradigm evolved into Spatial Grasp Technology resulted in European Patent and eight books which were oriented on concrete applications in graph and network theory, defence and social systems, crises management, simulation of global viruses, gestalt theory, collective robotics, space research, and others. The obtained solutions often exhibited high system qualities like global integrity, distributed awareness, and even consciousness. The current book takes these important characteristics as primary research objectives, together with the theory of patterns covering them all. It starts from reviewing and classification of numerous publications in these areas and then expresses their main features in Spatial Grasp Language, the basic element of the technology. The obtained results can be used for the creation of most advanced civil, defence, and security systems which can effectively operate even in very complex and critical situations. The book also extends applications of the developed spatial grasp paradigm to such areas as psychology and international relations. This could help develop advanced models of world economic, cultural, political, security and military organizations, using for their simulation advanced computer, communication, and information systems and networks. The proper modification of such models, which can cooperate and compete with each other, along with their repeated simulation, may lead to real strategies supporting world peace and prosperity. The current book is oriented on system scientists, application programmers, industry managers, defence and security commanders, university students, especially those interested in advanced MSc and PhD projects on distributed system management, also philosophers, psychologists, United Nations personnel too"--

The book describes a novel ideology and supporting information technology for integral management of both civil and defence-orientated large, distributed dynamic systems. The approach is based on a high-level Spatial Grasp Language, SGL, expressing solutions in physical, virtual, executive and combined environments in the form of active self-evolving and self-propagating patterns spatially matching the systems to be created, modified and controlled. The communicating interpreters of SGL can be installed in key system points, which may be in large numbers (up to millions and billions) and represent equipped humans, robots, laptops, smartphones, smart sensors, etc. Operating under gestalt-inspired scenarios in SGL initially injected from any points, these systems can be effectively converted into goal-driven spatial machines (rather than computers as dealing with physical matter too) capable of responding to numerous challenges caused by growing world dynamics in the 21st century. Including numerous practical examples, the book is a valuable resource for system managers and programmers.

Governmental agencies and private companies of different countries are actively moving into space around Earth with the aim to provide smart communication and industry, security, and defense solutions. This often involves massive launches of small, cheap satellites in low earth orbits, which is also contributing to the growth of space debris. The book offers a high-level holistic system philosophy, model, and technology that can effectively organize distributed space-based systems, starting with their planning, creation, and growth. The Spatial Grasp Technology described in the book, based on parallel navigation and pattern-matching of distributed environments with high-level recursive mobile code, can effectively provide any networking protocols and important system applications, by integrating and tasking available terrestrial and celestial equipment. This book contains practical examples of technology-based solutions for tracing hypersonic gliders, continuing observation of certain objects and infrastructures on Earth from space, space-based command and control of large distributed systems, as well as collective removal of increasing amounts of space junk. Earlier versions of this technology were prototyped and used in different countries, with the current version capable of being quickly implemented in traditional industrial or even university environments. This book is oriented toward system scientists, application programmers, industry managers, and university students interested in advanced MSc and PhD projects related to space conquest and distributed system management. Dr Peter Simon Sapaty, Chief Research Scientist, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, has worked with networked systems for five decades. Outside of Ukraine, he has worked in the former Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic and Slovakia), Germany, the UK, Canada, and Japan as a group leader, Alexander von Humboldt researcher, and invited and visiting professor. He launched and chaired the Special Interest Group (SIG) on Mobile Cooperative Technologies in Distributed Interactive Simulation project in the United States, and invented a distributed control technology that resulted in a European patent and books with Wiley, Springer, and Emerald. He has published more than 250 papers on distributed systems and has been included in the Marquis Who’s Who in the World and Cambridge Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century. Peter also works with several international scientific journals.

This book investigates new important applications of the Spatial Grasp Technology (SGT) allowing us to effectively simulate and manage large distributed dynamic systems on semantic and holistic levels. This patented technology, developed for decades and in different countries, is based on a completely different philosophy and model allowing us to directly operate in united distributed physical and virtual spaces and provide system solutions much simpler and more compact than under other approaches. The described applications include basic operations suitable for solving many network-related problems, simulation of such mysterious concept as consciousness so important for the design of advanced intelligent systems, modelling the spread of viruses and distribution of antivirus vaccine, and also implementation of the latest decision-centric and mosaic-based organizational concepts important for modern defence and industrial systems. The described technology version with its Spatial Grasp Language can be implemented even within university environments, with communicating language interpreter copies, potentially numbering millions to billions, easily embedded into any existing systems, including Internet, thus converting the whole world into a powerful symbiotic simulation management engine. The book is oriented on system scientists, application programmers, industry managers, and also university students interested in advanced M.Sc. and Ph.D. projects related to distributed system management.

This book describes the application of a high-level technology to solve problems in distributed systems that have networked structures with millions to billions of nodes. The main difference from other works is that the approach is based on holistically and simultaneously analysing these systems using a spatial pattern-matching mode, which produces solutions hundreds of times faster than usual. The latest version of the technology is described, together with implementation details and basic Spatial Grasp Language. In addition, the book highlights numerous solutions, covering graph and network problems, their use in large social, industrial, and business ecosystems, social robotics and driverless transport, and the possibility of extrapolating from known gestalt laws on distributed systems, which could potentially be applied in civil and defence contexts. The book is intended for system scientists, business and industry managers, economists, application programmers, security and defence personnel, as well as university students.
