The Theory of Active Systems . State and Prospects of B. Authors N. Burkova and D. A. Novikov is a fascinating and in-depth study that immerses the reader in the world of active systems and their applications in various fields of science and technology. This work is not just a textbook, but a real encyclopedia of knowledge, in which the authors share their many years of research and achievements in the field of active systems theory. The book focuses on the concept of active systems that are able to adapt to changes in the environment and make decisions on their own. The authors consider how such systems can be used in a variety of areas: from robotics and automation to biomedical technologies and ecology. Each chapter of the book is filled with examples that illustrate how theoretical ideas can be applied in practice, making the material accessible and understandable even to those who do not have in-depth knowledge in the field. This book will be of interest to a wide range of readers: from students and graduate students of technical specialties to professionals working in the field of science and technology. Engineers, researchers and teachers will find in it many useful ideas and concepts that can be applied in their work. In addition, the book will be useful to those who are interested in modern trends in science and technology, as well as those who want to expand their horizons and learn more about how active systems can change our future. The topics raised in the book cover a wide range of issues: from the foundations of the theory of active systems to their practical application. The authors discuss how active systems can improve process efficiency, increase automation, and even contribute to more sustainable ecosystems. The book also discusses the ethical and social aspects of implementing such technologies, which makes it particularly relevant in light of the contemporary challenges facing humanity. The style of the authors is distinguished by clarity and logical presentation, which allows the reader to easily assimilate complex concepts. In. N. Burkov and D. A. Novikov are experienced scientists who not only have deep knowledge in their field, but also know how to convey them to the reader. Their previous work also deserves attention: research in systems analysis and control theory, which have become the basis for many modern technologies. The Theory of Active Systems . Status and Prospects is not just a collection of theoretical knowledge, but a real guiding star for those who want to understand how active systems can change the world. It inspires new ideas and discoveries, encouraging the reader to think about the future of technology and its impact on society. If you are looking for literature that combines scientific approach and practical significance, this book will be an excellent choice. Do not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of active systems and discover new horizons of knowledge with B. N. Burkov and D. A. Novikov!
