This book was released on 1991 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation has two research objectives. the first is to design and develop a command, control, communication and intelligence system for the Air Force Satellite Control Network. the second is to develop a computer simulation of the satellite operations in Mission Control Complex-2 as a demonstration of the modeling that should be done by the 2d Space Wing. First, Stafford Beer's Viable System Model will be applied to develop an infrastructure for a command, control, communication and intelligence system for the Air Force Satellite Control Network. Second, the discrete event Simulation Language for Alternative Modeling will be used to construct the plant model of Mission Control Complex-2. the Commander of the 2d Space Wing is the executive manager of the Air Force Satellite Control Network. Five days out of the week individual units report to the Commander the number of and reason for failed and lost satellite supports. Also, members of the Commander's staff brief him on the status of the Satellite Control Network. In addition, each month individual units of the 2d Space Wing report to the Commander their performance in terms of lost and failed supports for personnel errors, procedure errors, hardware failures and software failures. This reporting occurs in a forum called the "trends briefing." From an overall command and control perspective, there are four problems that the researcher perceives to exist. First, the scope of the 2d Space Wing is not the same as the Air Force Satellite Control Network; therefore, there is split allegiance in terms of defining a unity of command for the Air Force Satellite Control Network. Second, there is not a common agreement on the definition of the Air Force Satellite Control Network; therefore, there is a lack of unified management control. Third, there are no measures of performance in place to effectively manage the mission control centers; therefore, the validity of the current information system is questionable as to its intended purpose. Finally, there is not a dedicated long range planning organization, for the Air Force Satellite Control Network, within the 2d Space Wing; therefore, there exists the lack of unified long range planning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ground segment is the fundamental backbone of every satellite project, yet it is usually not visible to the public or the end user of a satellite service. Also the bulk of existing published space literature tends to focus on the satellite or its subsystems. This book tries to fill this gap and addresses systems engineering concepts applied to the design, development, qualification, and deployment of the ground control segment required to operate a single satellite, a constellation, or even a manned space vehicle. The domain of ground segment engineering has significantly evolved in recent years, mainly driven by major advances in the IT sector. Hardware virtualisation or the availability of on-demand cloud computing services are typical examples of new technologies that have changed fundamental architectural concepts previously standard in heritage ground segments. Furthermore, the stark increase of cyber attacks - today a major risk to almost all critical IT based infrastructure - has made a cyber threat resilient architecture to become one of the indispensable design requirements for ground segment engineers. The new mega constellations recently put into space deploying up to several hundred of flying objects have put very demanding needs on the ground segment for automated satellite operations. These topics and more are addressed in the book’s chapters, along with a detailed explanation of the most relevant components of a typical ground segment architecture. The basic functional requirements, design features, and the most important ground and space segment interfaces are addressed and explained in detail, supported by a wealth of figures for easier understanding. This book is kept at an introductory level, allowing newcomers to get familiar with this fairly complex subject matter. It is therefore suitable for graduate students, but can equally serve as a valuable source of information for already experienced space engineers who seek to gain a deeper understanding of the ground segment infrastructure and related systems engineering processes. It can also help project managers to better interact with their systems engineers, satellite developers to define their ground segment interfaces, and satellite operators to improve their flight and ground procedures. It is very well suited for everyone intending to start a career in satellite ground segment systems engineering.

This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive collection of methods and approaches for using formal methods within Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research, the use of which is a prerequisite for usability and user-experience (UX) when engineering interactive systems. World-leading researchers present methods, tools and techniques to design and develop reliable interactive systems, offering an extensive discussion of the current state-of-the-art with case studies which highlight relevant scenarios and topics in HCI as well as presenting current trends and gaps in research and future opportunities and developments within this emerging field. The Handbook of Formal Methods in Human-Computer Interaction is intended for HCI researchers and engineers of interactive systems interested in facilitating formal methods into their research or practical work.

Book excerpt: This book is a concise navigator across the history of cybernetics, its state-of-the-art and prospects. The evolution of cybernetics (from N. Wiener to the present day) and the reasons of its ups and downs are presented. The correlation of cybernetics with the philosophy and methodology of control, as well as with system theory and systems analysis is clearly demonstrated. The book presents a detailed analysis focusing on the modern trends of research in cybernetics. A new development stage of cybernetics (the so-called cybernetics 2.0) is discussed as a science on general regularities of systems organization and control. The author substantiates the topicality of elaborating a new branch of cybernetics, i.e. organization theory which studies an organization as a property, process and system. The book is intended for theoreticians and practitioners, as well as for students, postgraduates and doctoral candidates. In the first place, the target audience includes tutors and lecturers preparing courses on cybernetics, control theory and systems science.

Download or read book Telepresence Actual and Virtual written by Thomas B. Sheridan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telepresence: Actual and Virtual explores the history of telepresence from the 1948 developments of master–slave manipulation, through to current telepresence technology used in space, undersea, surgery and telemedicine, operations in nuclear and other hazardous environments, policing and surveillance, agriculture, construction, mining, warehousing, education, amusement, social media, and other contexts. It also describes the various operator hand and body controls and the corresponding telerobotic actuation of robotic hands, arms, and locomotion. This book reviews the sensing and control technology, its history and likely future, and discusses the many research and policy issues that are raised. The book also takes up key questions relating to social and ethical issues, given that a person’s mechanical reach is becoming unlimited, enabling one to perform mischievous or harmful acts without identification, and what that portends for future developments in telepresence, including regulation and recommended directions of development. The primary audience for this book is professionals interested in human–robot interaction, human factors engineering, virtual reality, applications to space and undersea exploration, telemedicine and telesurgery, firefighting, mechanized agriculture, policing, drone surveillance, warehouse parts' fetching, mining, and military operations.
