Abstract

The article focuses on chaos engineering in Japan. Chaos engineering is defined as generic studies on theoretical and technological foundations for possible applications of deterministic chaos. for example chaotic parallels distributed processing (PDP), deterministic nonlinear prediction etc. On applications of chaos, the two aspects should be at least distinguished, namely synthetic chaos and analytic chaos. Applications of synthetic chaos utilize artificially generated chaos to extract possible functions from the chaotic dynamics. Examples of such applications include generation and use of chaotic fluctuations for homeodynamic control, escape from local minima in optimization problems, path planning for autonomous robots, and dynamical memory retrieval in associative memory, all by use of simple deterministic rules. On the other hand, applications of the analytic chaos are to analyze chaotic signals observed from natural and artificial complex systems and find hidden deterministic rules toward, for example, diagnosis and control of the systems.
