Spatial Grasp as a Model for Space-based Control and Management Systems [Paperback]

This book offers a high-level holistic system philosophy, model, and technology that can effectively organize distributed space-based systems starting with their planning, creation, and growth. The book contains practical examples of technology-based solutions.

Dr Peter Simon Sapaty, Chief Research Scientist, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, is with networked systems for five decades. Outside of Ukraine, worked in the former Czechoslovakia (now Slovak Republic), Germany, the UK, Canada, and Japan as a group leader, Alexander von Humboldt researcher, and invited and visiting professor. He launched and chaired the SIG on Mobile Cooperative Technologies in Distributed Interactive Simulation project in the US, and invented a distributed control technology that resulted in a European patent and books with Wiley, Springer, and Emerald. He has published more than 220 papers on distributed systems, and has been included in the Marquis Whos Who in the World and Cambridge Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century. Peter also works with several international scientific journals.

Governmental agencies and private companies of different countries are actively moving into space around Earth with the aim to provide smart communication and industry, security, and defense solutions. This often involves massive launches of small, cheap satellites in low earth orbits, which is also contributing to the growth of space debris. The book offers a high-level holistic system philosophy, model, and technology that can effectively organize distributed space-based systems, starting with their planning, creation, and growth. The Spatial Grasp Technology described in the book, based on parallel navigation and pattern-matching of distributed environments with high-level recursive mobile code, can effectively provide any networking protocols and important system applications, by integrating and tasking available terrestrial and celestial equipment.
