	Autonomy Systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Autonomy's software is used by various large global corporations and public sector agencies, including Deutsche Bank, BBC, Frito-lay/Pepsico, NASA, T-Mobile, Hewlett Packard, Shell, Citigroup, Phillips, Vodafone, Department of Homeland Security, the SEC and the UK Houses of Parliament.
		Autonomy was founded in Cambridge, England in 1996 by Dr Michael Lynch as a spinoff from Cambridge Neurodynamics Ltd. Autonomy is currently listed on the London Stock Exchange.
		In November 2005 Autonomy announced a "merge" with one of its main competitors, Verity.

		Autonomy is usually a pre-requisite to separation or secession, however, autonomy does not necessarily lead to separation.
		Autonomy within empires has frequently been a prelude to independence, as in the case of the evolution of the British Empire into the Commonwealth of Nations, containing both autonomous and completely sovereign states.
		Autonomy as in the former Soviet “autonomous” republics and regions in Russia, providing local control over cultural and economic affairs, often is perceived as inadequate by nationalists, who sometimes have demanded independence, as in Chechnya.

	Intelligent Control
		We begin with a general characterization of intelligent systems: An intelligent system has the ability to act appropriately in an uncertain environment, where an appropriate action is that which increases the probability of success, and success is the achievement of behavioral subgoals that support the system's ultimate goal.
		Some characteristics of the system which dictate the actual number of levels are the extent to which the operator can intervene in the system's operations, the degree of autonomy or level of intelligence in the various subsystems, the dexterity of the subsystems, and the hierarchical characteristics of the plant.
		Since the systems to be controlled via hybrid controllers are typically complex, it is important to make every effort to use only the necessary information to attain the control goals; as this leads to simpler interfaces that issue only the necessary number of distinct symbols, and to simpler DES plant models and controllers.

		He describes the evolution in thinking over the past decade in how to design technology-based systems for "day-one performance" and gives a five-level "maturity model" for the integration of departmental functions around the goal of performance improvement to help organizations assess the effectiveness of their strategy and help them move to a higher level.
		The mission of Ariel Performance Centered Systems is to help their clients achieve superior business results from their investments in information system technologies by integrating human performance and knowledge management principles into the design of systems and business processes.
		Workflow and process management systems are distinguished from collaborative systems in that the latter supports the sharing of information whereas the former also facilitate and automate the coordination and execution of processes, particularly for electronic commerce.

	Autonomy
		Participants at the conference explored structures and institutions of various autonomous regions, with the aim of providing guidance on which methods are most effective in achieving the objectives of autonomy.
		The conference concentrated on thematic issues, the choice of which was influenced by the arrangements for and experience of Hong Kong's autonomy.
		Hong Kong's system has recently come under considerable stress as Hong Kong people seek a greater measure of democracy and accountability that cannot be accommodated under the current arrangements.

	Semiotics of Autonomous Information Systems
		Of course, there are many different sense of autonomy, from mere physical separation to the establishment of complex functional relations sufficient to allow the identification of the systems as "independent actors".
		This is the case, for example, with biological systems, whose autonomy is enabled by their own genetic information as used in the context of their environments; and with control systems, where autonomy is enabled by the information in their engineered construction and use by human operators.
		In each of these cases, there are significant open questions concerning the sense of autonomy which is meant, or might be achievable; and whether there may or must be consideration of the semiotic properties of these systems, including the nature of symbol generation, manipulation, and interpretation.

	Syntactic Autonomy: Or Why There is no Autonomy Without Symbols and how Self-Organizing Systems Might Evolve Them
		In contrast, state-determined systems are dynamically coherent (or coupled) to their environments because they function by reaction to present input and state using some iterative mapping in a state space.
		In this sense, the dynamically coherent coupling of a self-organizing system with its environment establishes a semantic dimension: attractor states leading to a small set of behaviors produced by the self-organizing system are used to classify and cope with an environment.
		In evolutionary systems this is at the core of the feud between those who claim that natural selection is the sole explanation for evolution and those who stress that other aspects of evolutionary systems, such as developmental constraints, also play an important role.

		The basic objective of this research is to develop architectures for systems capable of highly autonomous behavior by combining decision, perception, and action components.
		Systems with high levels of autonomy are critical for unmanned, and partially manned, space missions.
		The utility of the proposed high autonomy system will be demonstrated with models of a robot-managed fluid handling laboratory for International Space Station Freedom.

		For such a system, a significant portion of the development time and the computer resources is required to handle the myriad of situations that a rover is unlikely to encounter.
		Life support systems must be maintained and repaired by the crew, requiring that autonomous systems be able to maintain minimal life support during routine maintenance and be able to adjust the level of autonomy for crew intervention for repair or degraded mode operation.
		By analyzing the system from other sensors, it may say the pressure is normal or suggest closing a valve, resetting the pump circuit breaker, or requesting a crewmember to check the tank for a leak.

		This subsystem primarily involves the processes and sequences for the active autonomy of the vehicle, allowing situation-adapted mission and vehicle control on the basis of multi-sensor data fusion, image evaluation and higher-level decision techniques.
		The aim of the active and reactive process is to achieve high levels of reliability and safety for longer underwater missions in different sea areas and in the presence of different ground topologies.
		The mission monitoring feature that is responsible for the mission sequence is at the heart of the system.

		For example, some multifunction printer/copier/fax units can still make copies and send faxes without the computer being turned on.
		Autonomy Systems is a company and its computer software package which performs pattern recognition using a Bayesian algorithm.
		Within self-determination theory in psychology, autonomy refers to 'autonomy support versus control', "hypothesizing that autonomy-supportive social contexts tend to facilitate self-determined motivation, healthy development, and optimal functioning."

	Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians - Documents / Programme / Autonomy Systems and Local Governments
		As national equality and granting civil rights of freedom can be conceived only in a free, democratic state of rule, the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians advocates the change of system, a peaceful creation of a society based on multi-party, real parliamentary system.
		Various autonomies, organised on the base of interest-protection as well as local governments are the concomitants of modern society, and are cherished by the endeavour and natural pretension that on regional, lingual and activity bases groups of citizens want to participate actively in the creation of their destiny.
		The appearance of Hungarian majority local governments means a concrete form of presence of national interest-promotion, an engagement in the political articulation of interests for the Vojvodina Hungarians.
