International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics

2nd Edition, as published by Charles François 2004 Presented by the Bertalanffy Center for the Study of Systems Science Vienna for public access.

About

The International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics was first edited and published by the system scientist Charles François in 1997. The online version that is provided here was based on the 2nd edition in 2004. It was uploaded and gifted to the center by ASC president Michael Lissack in 2019; the BCSSS purchased the rights for the re-publication of this volume in 200?. In 2018, the original editor expressed his wish to pass on the stewardship over the maintenance and further development of the encyclopedia to the Bertalanffy Center. In the future, the BCSSS seeks to further develop the encyclopedia by open collaboration within the systems sciences. Until the center has found and been able to implement an adequate technical solution for this, the static website is made accessible for the benefit of public scholarship and education.

CHAOS (Centre for Hyperincursion and Anticipation in Ordered System) 1)

← Back

This Centre, based at the Institute of Mathematics, University of Liège, Belgium, is focusing its activity on anticipatory processes and systems, in a transdisciplinary spirit.

Its founder and mentor, Prof. Daniel Dubois, writes: "Anticipation is not only a property of biosystems, but is also a fundamental property of physical systems. In electromagnetism, the anticipation is related to the Lorenz transform. In this framework, the anticipation is a strong anticipation because it is not based on a prediction from a model of the physical system, but is embedded in the fundamental system".

In fact, the proceedings of the yearly meetings of the CHAOS Centre (organized since 1997) show a widely embracing transdisciplinary viewpoint. Published papers include not only general concepts and models, but also anticipatory studies related to biological systems, psychology, psychiatry, linguistics, economics and social systems.

Papers also consider modelling means as neural networks, genetic algorithms, automata, holograms, fractals, etc.

The Centre publishes its "CASYS- International Journal of computing Anticipatory Systems"
