To outsource or not to outsource data collection, management and analysis for military platforms? This is the question we will attempt to answer in this short blog. Data-driven business models hinge on products that bring manufacturers and users together in mutually beneficial ways. Independently of market sector, almost all new products contain plenty of software…
The Quantitative Complexity Theory (QCT) has been conceived around a complexity metric discovered in the early 2000s by J. Marczyk and his team. Based on the theory, a technology has been built – Quantitative Complexity Management (QCM). Both software and hardware solutions have been developed. QCM is a new form of Artificial Intelligence that reaches…
Multi-morbidity is a common condition in older age, and can substantially influence individuals’ health and quality of life, making management more difficult. The COVID-19, like other types of influenza, is known to kill mainly old and debilitated individuals, suffering from at least 2 to 3 serious chronic diseases. In the times of COVID-19, it has…
A few years ago, our company was given the task of simulating bank mergers. From a pool of several hundred banks we simulated hundreds of mergers – large banks with large banks, small ones with large ones, mid-size banks with large banks and with small ones. This result was extraordinary and remarkable to say the…
The evolution of man, ever since the first hominids appeared, has been driven and characterized by numerous factors of diverse nature, such as geography, climate, ethnicity, superstitions and, with time, religion, art, science and philosophy, just to name a few. However, the common thread that may be observed throughout history is the formation of structures…

AFFIRMO is a recently funded Horizon 2020 five-year research project. Multimorbidity is a common condition in older age, and can substantially influence individuals’ health and quality of life, making management more difficult. A single-disease approach with fragmented care is still prevalent in current healthcare systems despite multimorbidity representing a heterogeneous spectrum of disease combination(s). On…
Contemporary real time system monitoring appears to be the same in each discipline and field of application. Whether it is an aircraft, a chemical plant, a hospitalized patient or an assembly line, the logic is always the same: Deploy a set of sensors Establish admissible upper and lower bounds for each sensor (channel) Define a…
A fundamental property of the complexity metric developed by Ontonix is that it has bounds – a lower and an upper bound. This means that it cannot assume infinite values (both negative and positive). If it could it wouldn’t be a good metric. All good metrics satisfy the laws of physics For example, a temperature…
Jacek Marczyk Ph.D., Balachandra Deshpande Ph.D. (2007) 1. Introduction The study of complex systems such as the biosphere, gene expression data or the climate, has led to an increased understanding of their behaviour and characteristics and only now are we appreciating their overwhelming complexity. One common denominator of all these systems is, obviously, complexity. However,…
