Abstract

This paper discusses a kind of elementary methodology for the control of complex systems, called emergence-oriented control (EOC), and its key schemes: the direct scheme, the system restructuring scheme and the system calibration scheme. Firstly, the schemes are dependent on emergent behaviors and the emergence mechanisms producing those behaviors. The second is that an efficiency control relies on not only corresponding emergence mechanism, but also controlled components and interactions among them. As a universal ontology, the EOC provides a powerful tool for identifying and resolving control problems in specific systems.
