Abstract:
Perceiving agents have a limited sensitivity to distinguish input stimuli. Whatever the cause-random noise, limited numbers of sensing elements, intentional desensitization-formulation of such behavioral phenomena at the system level has not attracted much interest. This work is a first attempt to formalize the limited-sensitivity abstraction and to explore its implications for systems modeling and simulation, both conceptual and practical. In this article. a system theoretic formalization of perceiving agents called quantized systems is provided, linking them with discrete event modeling paradigms and exploring their approximation capability and message reduction in distributed simulation.
