Chapter 1. Introduction

In our dynamic and extremely complex world, we urgently need advanced philosophical, psychological, organizational, and technological measures to cope with regular emergencies, destructions, and crises, which appear almost every day and in different types of organizations and systems. The main goal of this book is to offer such measures and practical solutions, especially those which can provide efficient improvement, healing, and recovery in very complex situations in a self-healing and self-recovery mode, using mostly internal system resources. To accomplish this goal, we have chosen the patented and developed Spatial Grasp Technology (SGT) with its basic Spatial Grasp Language (SGL) based on spatial coverage and management of distributed systems, which already proved efficient for solving numerous problems in very different physical and virtual areas.
