Dynamics is what characterizes virtually all phenomenae we face in
the real world, and processes that proceed in practically all kinds
of inanimate and animate systems, notably social systems. For our
purposes dynamics is viewed as time evolution of some
characteristic features of the phenomenae or processes under
consideration. It is obvious that in virtually all non-trivial
problems dynamics can not be neglected, and should be taken into
account in the analyses to, first, get insight into the problem
consider, and second, to be able to obtain meaningful results. A
convenient tool to deal with dynamics and its related evolution
over time is to use the concept of a dynamic system which, for the
purposes of this volume can be characterized by the input
(control), state and output spaces, and a state transition
equation. Then, starting from an initial state, we can find a
sequence of consecutive states (outputs) under consecutive inputs
(controls). That is, we obtain a trajectory. The state transition
equation may be given in various forms, exemplified by differential
and difference equations, linear or nonlinear, deterministic or
stochastic, or even fuzzy (imprecisely specified), fully or
partially known, etc. These features can give rise to various
problems the analysts may encounter like numerical difficulties,
instability, strange forms of behavior (e.g. chaotic), etc. This
volume is concerned with some modern tools and techniques which can
be useful for the modeling of dynamics. We focus our attention on
two important areas which play a key role nowadays, namely
automation and robotics, and biological systems. We also add some
new applications which can greatly benefit from the availability of
effective and efficient tools for modeling dynamics, exemplified by
some applications in security systems.
