- More about Foundations for Functional Modeling of Technical Artefacts
The monograph presents a new framework for modelling goals and functions of control systems, drawing on means-end concepts and action analysis. It applies this approach to three modeling situations related to the interaction of technical artefacts and humans, addressing challenges in applying the foundations for modelling of technical artefacts. It offers a cross disciplinary integration of several fields of knowledge, making it a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students in computer science, engineering, and philosophy of technology.

This monograph presents a novel framework for modelling goals and functions of control systems, utilizing means-end concepts and various aspects of action to describe the relations between the structure, dispositions, functions, and goals of technical systems and human action. The author developed this approach as part of his research on Multilevel Flow Modelling (MFM) and based it on concepts of action and means-end analysis, drawing on existing theories from philosophical logic, semiotics, and phenomenological approaches to social science. The book applies the framework to three modeling situations related to the interaction of technical artefacts and humans, including the relation between designer and artefact, the relation between technical artefact and its user, and the relation between a natural object and its user. All three situations are relevant for modelling complex automated processes interacting with human operators. The book also discusses challenges when applying the foundations for modelling of technical artefacts, providing a cross-disciplinary integration of several fields of knowledge, including intelligent process control, human machine interaction, and process and automation design. As a result, researchers and graduate students in computer science, engineering, and philosophy of technology will find it a valuable resource.
