Abstract

Next generation intelligent machines which will work autonomously or semi-autonomously as well as computer-aided problem solving environments including computer-aided design and computer-aided software system design environments will have sophisticated computerization requirements. It appears that Computer-Aided Systems Technology (CAST) may provide the necessary powerful scientific framework to handle the inherent complexity associated with such requirements. A system theoretic concept, coupling, has been shown to provide a reach paradigm for this purpose. The following types of couplings are discussed: Data coupling, stamp coupling, control coupling, external coupling, common coupling, and content coupling; 1-system coupling, n-system coupling; external and internal couplings; nested, feedback, cascade, and conjunctive couplings; time-varying coupling and multimodels; coupling applied to events, processes, and multimodel process models; time-varying coupling and multifacetted models; hard and soft couplings; and coupling and object-oriented formalism.
