This monograph introduces a novel multiset-based conceptual,
mathematical and knowledge engineering paradigm, called
multigrammatical framework (MGF), used for planning and scheduling
in resource-consuming, resource-producing (industrial) and
resource-distributing (economical) sociotechnological systems
(STS). This framework is meant to enable smart operation not only
in a "business-as-usual" mode, but also in extraordinary, highly
volatile or hazardous environments. It is the result of convergence
and deep integration into a unified, flexible and effectively
implemented formalism operating on multisets of several well-known
paradigms from classical operations research and modern knowledge
engineering, such as: mathematical programming, game theory,
optimal scheduling, logic programming and constraint programming.
The mathematical background needed for MGF, its algorithmics,
applications, implementation issues, as well as its nexus with
known models from operations research and theoretical computer
science areas are considered. The resilience and recovery issues of
an STS are studied by applying the MGF toolkit and on paying
special attention to the multigrammatical assessment of resilience
of energy infrastructures. MGF-represented resource-based games are
introduced, and directions for further development are discussed.
The author presents multiple applications to business intelligence,
critical infrastructure, ecology, economy and industry. This book
is addressed to scholars working in the areas of theoretical and
applied computer science, artificial intelligence, systems
analysis, operations research, mathematical economy and critical
infrastructure protection, to engineers developing
software-intensive solutions for implementation of the
knowledge-based digital economy and Industry 4.0, as well as to
students, aspirants and university staff. Foundational knowledge of
set theory, mathematical logic and routine operations on data bases
is needed to read this book. The content of the monograph is
gradually presented, from simple to complex, in a
well-understandable step-by-step manner. Multiple examples and
accompanying figures are included in order to support the
explanation of the various notions, expressions and algorithms.
