A Model of System Coherence

Erik W. Aslaksen

Systems Engineering, 2003, vol. 6, issue 1, 19-27

Abstract: Modeling of system behavior is an important part of the systems engineering methodology. One characteristic of system behavior that is common to a large class of systems is coherence, and we propose a simple model of coherent behavior, which at the same time gives an operational definition of system coherence. Results of simulation of system behavior obtained using this model are presented, and they display all the features normally associated with cooperative behavior. This indicates that with the proposed definition, coherence could become a useful system parameter. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Syst Eng 6, 19–27, 2003
