Abstract

Revolutionary advances in technology have generated numerous complex systems that have become integral parts of our socioeconomic environment. The study of such systems – those which contain many interacting parts – is currently attracting considerable attention. In this paper, the author retraces his personal attempts, over a period of four decades, to develop simple models for adaptation, learning, identification and control using artificial neural networks, and hybrid systems, and goes on to describe how they are providing insights into dealing with complex interconnected systems.
