The Relevance of Emerging Solutions for Thinking, Decision Making and Acting. The case of Smart Grids

Author

Listed:
  • Giannantoni, Corrado

Abstract

The paper presents a real novelty in Mathematical Modelling, which may have an enormous relevance in our way of Thinking, Decision Making and Acting. At the same time it would like to represent an explicit “Tribute” to Prof. Odum, because the original concept is already seminally present in his well-known Rules of Emergy Algebra.
