Abstract
An approach based on flow analysis of matter, energy and information is discussed. The cognitive approach matter-energy-information allows to analyze complex systems in different modes, including dynamic situations. It is shown that flow diagrams are universal, common to many complex technical systems including electronic equipment design and technologies, communication systems, and etc. Restrictions of the proposed method is discussed. It is remarkable that visual analytics of dynamic process is available using weighted directed graphs. Based on the available experience, a classification of the concepts of flow analysis of systems is proposed. The chapter discusses flow analysis practical applications. Finally, conclusions are derived.
