8.1 Introduction

The ideas of this book originate from the mobile WAVE approach [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] that allowed us, more than a half century ago, to implement citywide heterogeneous computer networks and solve distributed problems on them, well before the internet. The invented paradigm, which evolved into Spatial Grasp Technology, resulted in a European patent [11] and eight John Wiley, Springer, Emerald, and Taylor & Francis books [12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19] oriented on concrete applications in graph and network theory, defense and social systems, crisis management, simulation of global viruses, gestalt theory, collective robotics, space research, and many others. The obtained ...
