TL;DR: This work describes systems that are informationally equivalent and that can be characterized as sentential or diagrammatic, and contrasts the computational efficiency of these representotions for solving several illustrative problems in mothematics and physics.

TL;DR: In this article, a reference guide to various notions of monoidal categories and their associated string diagrams is presented, which is useful not only to mathematicians, but also to physicists, computer scientists, and others who use diagrammatic reasoning.
Abstract: This article is intended as a reference guide to various notions of monoidal categories and their associated string diagrams It is hoped that this will be useful not just to mathematicians, but also to physicists, computer scientists, and others who use diagrammatic reasoning We have opted for a somewhat informal treatment of topological notions, and have omitted most proofs Nevertheless, the exposition is sufficiently detailed to make it clear what is presently known, and to serve as a starting place for more in-depth study Where possible, we provide pointers to more rigorous treatments in the literature Where we include results that have only been proved in special cases, we indicate this in the form of caveats

TL;DR: In this article, an integrated theoretical and applied introduction to systems ecology that uses energy diagrammatic language to explain basic concepts of systems, modelling, and simulation is presented, while at the same time dealing with the issues of organization, entropy, information, complexity, diversity, frequency, and power.
Abstract: An integrated theoretical and applied introduction to systems ecology that uses energy diagrammatic language to explain basic concepts of systems, modelling, and simulation. Teaches energetics while at the same time dealing with the issues of organization, entropy, information, complexity, diversity, frequency, and power and the ways these determine the nature of real systems. Includes analog and digital computer modelling, enabling readers without prior programming experience to create computer models of ecological processes.

TL;DR: A notation to describe task models, which can specify a wide range of temporal relationships among tasks, is discussed, which is a compact and graphical notation, immediate both to use and understand.
Abstract: In this paper we discuss a notation to describe task models, which can specify a wide range of temporal relationships among tasks. It is a compact and graphical notation, immediate both to use and understand. Its logical structure and the related automatic tool make it suitable for designing even large sized applications.
