hybrid systems
Mixed-method configurations
Hybrid systems combine two or more distinct technologies, power sources, or operational modes into a single integrated unit.
The term appears most often in engineering and computing: a hybrid vehicle uses both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor; a hybrid cloud merges private and public infrastructure.
The concept extends to any arrangement blending approaches that would otherwise operate separately: hybrid work alternates between office and remote settings.
In control theory, hybrid systems specifically denote those mixing continuous and discrete dynamics.
