About dhcsoul

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).
