Hi ,
	I am involved in a project to evaluate or quantify order in a
general system and implement a evolutionary ,approach based on the
selfevaluation of this system order, to drive the system towards a more
organised one (and a productive one as in the case of a manufacturing
systems).
     I foresee a lot of difficulties in the quantification of order, which
in a manufacturing systems would be an index of productivity, in a general
system. Being a beginner to this newsgroup I realised there are a lot of
people out there who can enlighten me in this area. I would very
much appreciate any attempt to  post or mail me the relevent
citations or journals dealing with this subject.
Thanks in advance,
Sailesh @irl.ise.ufl.edu
