Target-Oriented Automation of Control Systems - DIACS / GOMA

The SOSAU (Eng. GOMA - Goal oriented management automation) is “Principles, models and methodologies for the analysis, design and integration of goal-oriented socio-economic automated control systems”. The objective of the central automated control system is to achieve the highest possible level of automation; ideally, to completely replace people with cars. Using the principles of SOSAU, people are able to create systems like Skynet or Matrix.

The author of the TsOASU methodology, Sergey Seroukhov , maintains a blog about this methodology in English and Russian:

The author works as a Strategic Architect at the American company Modular Mining Systems, and you can read more about him here: www.c2ways.ru/2011/08/c2-ways.html



The TSOAS uses a systematic approach. It considers the organization as an open system consisting of interacting elements.

To achieve the highest level of automation, you must:

1. Automate each element of an organization / system, providing all the required information, automating all management functions and removing the spaces between them.

2. Integrate all automated elements into a single system that works to achieve its purpose in the world around it.

Two principles make this automation possible:

1. The principle of “Continuous Control” provides full-scale automation of an individual element of the system. This principle uses the NORD cycle model (Observation-Orientation-Decision-Action) to divide the entire operation of an element into certain control functions that interact in a natural continuous flow.

2. The principle of “targeting” allows you to integrate elements. He says that the interactions of the elements are determined by the goals, and are aimed at providing a contribution to the global organizational goals. Global goals define the mission of an organization, and can be broken down into sub-goals until they reach an elementary level and cannot be fulfilled.

Both principles are universal. They can be applied to any type of active element, be it the person controlling the subsystem on artificial intelligence, the robot, or the simplest microcontroller, and at any organizational level from the strategic to the most basic elementary operations.



Separate attention should be paid to the methodology of the simulation of the TSOASU (the foundation of the entire TSOASU), which is well described in the blog articles:

Modeling TSOASU

Distinctive features of goal-oriented modeling



The developed business model in the Domain Model contains the goals of all active elements at the required level of detail, and all other objects are fully connected with all the goals (functions, data streams, automated systems, etc.). Those. for any goal at any level, its entire “life chain” can be traced right up to the result.



Database optimization in automated control systems is my dissertation topic in simple words. I was very interested in the methodology of the TsOASU since such an approach looks logical, attractive and, in principle, so what I strive for in life - so that all actions are understandable what they are for. However, in the thesis I work from the level of indicators - when the goals are already defined.



Habrovchane, and you are engaged in the theory of automation or know such people? And if so, what is the automation theory for you?

When adding an article to Habr, the absence of habras-themes like “control system”, “automation” or something similar was surprised. Does this mean that in the CIS countries almost no one is doing this or that you need to look for another place that automators of control systems like?
