M.K. Chandy and M. Reiser (Editors): Computer Performance. IFIP Working Group 7.3 on Computer System Modelling. North-Holland Publishing Company, Amsterdam, New York, 1978,546 pages, Dfl. 120.00, US $58.50. ISBN 0 444 85038 4
A.N. Michel and R.K. Miller: Qualitative Analysis of Large Scale Dynamical Systems. Academic Press, New York, 1977,289 pages, US $22.50. ISBN 0 12 49850 7. There are numerous examples of large dynamical systems that provide great challenges to engineers of all disciplines, physical scientists, life scientists, economists, social scientists and mathematicians. Examples of large scale dynamical systems are electric power systems, nuclear reactors, aerospace systems, large electric networks, economic systems, process control systems in the chemical and petroleum industries, different types of societal systems, and ecological systems. In order for this monograph to be applicable to many diverse areas and disciplines, the authors have endeavored to consider several important classes of equations that can be used in the modeling of a great variety of large scale dynamical systems. They present a unified approach of analyzing such systems at different hierarchical levels, namely, at the subsystem structure and at interconnecting structure levels. Following the introductory chapter, there are chapters on the following topics: Systems described by ordinary differential equations, Discrete time systems and sampled data systems, Infinite-dimensional systems, Input-output stability of large scale systems, and Integrodifferential systems. (From Proceedings of the IEEE, November 1978.)
