Systems science
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Systems science is a term in use since the 1960s that refers to the field of science surrounding systems theory, cybernetics, the science of complex systems. As an interdisciplinary science, it is applicable in a variety of areas, such as engineering, biology, medicine and social sciences.
Systems sciences deals with self-organization, autopoiesis, emergence, multi-agent systems, open systems, closed systems, feedback loops and related phenomena.
Notable contributors to the field include Jay Forrester, Humberto Maturana, Stuart Kauffman, Norbert Wiener, William Ross Ashby, Heinz von Foerster and Charles François as the founding editor of the Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics.
Scientifically the field is organized and maintained by the body in charge of all systems science societies, the International Federation for Systems Research.
