Encyclopedia > Systems science

Systems science is the science of complex systems. Complex systems have a number of properties, some of which are listed below. ...


Is a new way to develop science and is based on differents paradigms than the classic science. The systems science look wholeness, phenomena, circular causalities, isomorphisms, and is based on principles such as subsidiarity, pervasibidad, multicausality, determinism, complementarity; and according to the laws founded on others disciplines and trought isomorphism, propose the understanding of the reality as a complex, achieving its transdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity. // What is science? There are different theories of what science is. ... A phenomenon (plural: phenomena) is an observable event, especially something special (literally something that can be seen from the Greek word phainomenon = observable). ... In mathematics, an isomorphism (in Greek isos = equal and morphe = shape) is a kind of interesting mapping between objects. ... Interdisciplinary work is that which integrates concepts across different disciplines. ...


Notable contributors include Jay Forrester. Jay Wright Forrester (born 14 July 1918 Climax, Nebraska) is an American pioneer of computer engineering. ...

The international conference Systems Science 2000, to be held in Osnabrück from 20 - 22 March 2000, intends to bring together scientists from various different fields in order to present and discuss the present position of systems science.
What are Cybernetics and Systems Science? (699 words)
Cybernetics and Systems Science (also: "(General) Systems Theory" or "Systems Research") constitute a somewhat fuzzily defined academic domain, that touches virtually all traditional disciplines, from mathematics, technology and biology to philosophy and the social sciences.
Systems theory or systems science argues that however complex or diverse the world that we experience, we will always find different types of organization in it, and such organization can be described by concepts and principles which are independent from the specific domain at which we are looking.
Since structure and function of a system cannot be understood in separation, it is clear that cybernetics and systems theory should be viewed as two facets of a single approach.
