I’m David HC Soul … and for those of you old enough to remember no not THAT one … although I have been known to answer to the name Hutch.
I am an entrepreneur but in the past have been employed by a number of small to medium sized business across a wide spectrum of industries and in positions from Production Management through Accounting and Finacial Management to General Management and excutive management at the C level (Research and Development, Administation, Finance, and CEO).
My experiences have tought me the difficulties of communications and control in enterprises of all types — including not for profit and charitable — in both centralized and decentralized structures. This has led me to interests and studies in the following areas especially:
Comlex Event Processing (CEP) – an emerging way of looking at ways to manage the complexity inherent in our global and enterprise computer and communications systems.
Cybernetics – the science of communication and control in animal and machine – especially the design of viable business systems according to Stafford Beer’s VSM (viable systems model)
Sensor Networks – as the actual delivery platform for CEP systems designed according to the principles of Viable Sysems construction (managerial cybernetics).
