Abstract: Nowadays, more and more complex systems are studied and modeled. The complexity consists not only in enormous number of system components but also of enormous number of the laws that the components should respect in their structure, behavior and interactions. Among them, the behavior of the human beings occurring in the systems is more and more considered in exact studying of the systems. The individual laws of thinking of such persons use general notions and have more or less common with the external persons who think on such systems - e.g. during designing them. Nowadays, the thinking of both the sorts of humans is transformed to computing systems. That implies that the general notions should be represented at the computing systems, among which the notions of “humans who take notions in their means”. A special (but very frequent) case of human thinking is anticipation – almost any person who figures in a system and can influence it in more or less important sense, decides with view on possible future consequences of his decision for himself and for the system. The main way of that human thinking is rational imagining of the stepwise running consequences. Transforming that to computing technique, one obtains simulation. So one comes to simulation of systems that contain simulating elements. Nevertheless, anticipation can cover also the anticipation of other elements (masters, pupils, collaborators, competitors, antagonists etc.) so that the “nesting” of computer models and of knowledge representations can be iterated. The programming languages that are object-oriented, process-oriented and block-oriented are suitable both for describing such systems and notions that figure in them and the descriptions can me then used as exact inputs for computer modeling and simulation. Running computer models of local transport in production processes and in container terminal will be presented.

Brief Biography of the Speaker:
Eugene Kindler was born in 1935, studied mathematics at Charles University in Prague, (Czechoslovakia) and then computer science at the Research Institute of Mathematical Machines in Prague. He is the author of the first Czechoslovak ALGOL 60 compiler and the first Czechoslovak simulation language and compiler (COSMO, Compartmental System Modeling). Charles University granted him PhDr in logic and RNDr (Rerum Naturalium Doctor) in the theory of programming, Czechoslovak Academy of Science granted him CSc (Candidate of Sciences) in mathematics and physics. During 1958-1966 he worked with the Research Institute of Mathematical Machines, then with the Institute of Biophysics of the Faculty of General Medicine of Charles University (until 1973) and then with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the same University (until 2006). In parallel, he engaged as professor of applied mathematics at a new University of Ostrava (Czech Republic) and was guest professor at the universities of Italian Pisa, American Morgantown and French Clermont-Ferrand and Lorient. Since 2006 he has been pensioned, collaborating with the same Ostrava University as external specialist in various research projects, in doctoral studies and with a rather new Faculty of art.
Beside his official work in computer science, he applied exact techniques (applied in programming language analysis) to formulate the rhythmical laws of music in free rhythm and is a director and soloist of singing group Musica Poetica specialized to the chant originated during the first millennium A.D. in Europe and certain Near East Asian countries.
