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…
Models are simplified representations or emulators of reality. They are typically based on empirical data collected conducting experiments. There exist numerous techniques for establishing models based on data. An example of a linear model, built based on 2-dimensional data is illustrated below. The model in this simple case is a straight line. It may be…
Every year the World Bank publishes its Development Indicators data, which we analyze in order to measure and track the resilience (fragility) and complexity of countries, macro regions and of the world as a system. The goal is to produce strategic systemic information for governments and government agencies especially in the context of management of disasters,…

Thanks to the corrupt mainstream media, that have been…
The covid-19 has accentuated the fragmentation of the European Union. In a moment of political fragility we have performed a resilience rating analysis of the union as a whole as well as of the individual countries and specific macro regions. The idea is to perform a preliminary and simple assessment of how each country could…
As the covid-19 farce continues, amidst the destruction of the economy, it is curious how the global social engineering experiment, which has confined millions of people to their homes, is perpetrated so successfully based only on simple plots, pie-charts and histograms. Amazingly, nowhere in the mainstream media has the covid 19 data been analyzed from…
