Nonlinear systems Fuzzy systems Discrete systems Tools for modeling and simulation of systems in MATLAB and Vensim Soft control systems System dynamics Archetypes of systems Modeling of social dynamic systems Modeling of economic dynamical systems

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Laboratory work
  • Home preparation for classes - 48 hours per semester
  • Contact teaching - 52 hours per semester
  • Preparation for an exam - 50 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to get the students to understand the necessity of an interdisciplinary approach to system study, solving problems of complexity and inner dependency among the system elements.
A student who has successfully completed the course can: characterize the dynamic control system and describe its basic characteristics, define mathematical models of linear, nonlinear and fuzzy systems, work in MATLAB and Vensim tools. A student who has successfully completed the course will be able to: solve more complex tasks in the management of social and economic problems, recognize a suitable mathematical model for a given area of problem solving, create a proposal for different classes of management models, control the basic MATLAB and Vensim environments. A student who has successfully completed the course is able to: clearly communicate to experts and lay people information about the nature and laws of linear, nonlinear, fuzzy and discrete control systems in the technical and socio-economic areas, create a mathematical model and then implement and analyze it in MATLAB and Vensim, summarize and clearly present the mathematical model and the results obtained from the simulation tool, independently acquire additional professional knowledge, skills and competences in the field.
Prerequisites
Assumed elementary knowledge of logic, fuzzy and linear continuous control.
