Perceptions of interdisciplinary research and developments

This paper aims to review current research and developments with particular reference to new interdisciplinary research and developments.

Internet freedom

The purpose of this paper is to recount a disastrous result from a computer virus infection. A proposed quarantine scheme to combat malicious activity is discussed, as well as…

The cybernetics of organising: management and leadership

The purpose of this paper is to argue that in a strategic context organising is a cybernetic process that corresponds leadership and management. The paper reflects on the obverse…

Requirements of complexity for complex organizational conceptions

The purpose of this paper is to propose a way of asking about organizational conceptions. Some years ago, Edgar Morin proposed the paradigm of complexity as the one that opposes…

Modeling service experience design processes with customer expectation management: A system dynamics perspective

The purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework of customer expectation management and a reference model of service experience design which are regarded as the…

Multi‐directional search to optimize neural network error function

The proposed algorithm successfully optimizes complex error functions, which are difficult to differentiate, ill conditioned or discontinuous. It is a benchmark to identify…

Subjective observation via informational invariance results in creation of fractals and self‐similar processes of fractional order

The purpose of this paper is to explain why fractal, self‐similarity, and fractional Brownian motions are so pervasive in human systems.

The development of granular metastructures and their use in a multifaceted representation of data and models

The purpose of this paper is to show that exploiting fundamental ideas of granular computing can lead to further conceptual developments of granular metastructures, which are…
