DESCRIPTION:We describe a categorical framework of modeling and analyzing 
 systems in a broad sense. The latter can be thought of as `machines’ wit
 h inputs and outputs\, carrying some sort of signal that occurs through so
 me notion of time\; special cases include discrete and continuous dynamica
 l systems. A central goal is to understand systems formed as arbitrary int
 erconnections of component subsystems. This shall be accomplished using la
 x monoidal functors\, which provide a coherent formalisation of systems\, 
 as well as sheaf theory\, which captures the crucial notion of time.
