MATHEMATICAL FORMALISMS OF COMMAND, CONTROL, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

Mathematical formalisms are presented for the description and optimization of Management, Communication, Information, and Decision Systems which comprise the over-all Command and Control Systems (L-Syst ms). Linear graph theory and linear programming are utilized for the display and optimization of management functions consisting of the design, development, and augmentation of L-Systems. Communication Systems are synthesized optimally by network synthesis techniques, optimum flow theory, linear and dynamic programming, and combinatorial analysis. Information ystems performing computation and data processing are described by linear graph theory. A logical net controller concept is developed which can optimally control the processing events and subsystems in an information system and message routing in a communication system. The individuals and displays comprising the ecision System are described by linear graph theory. (Author)
