Mobile Systems: Survey

  • Chapter
Book cover Applied General Systems Research

Part of the book series: NATO Conference Series ((SYSC,volume 5))

Abstract

Mobile systems may be broadly viewed as information or energy processing systems that have the capability to move within their physical environment from one position to another. Conceptually, these systems form a distinct category of dynamic systems and as such they can be methodically studied within the formal framework of the General Systems Theory.
