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.

POST-CYBERNETICS GROUP in Tokyo 1)

← Back

This group has been created in 1992 in Tokyo by Makiko OKUYAMA, of the Ohmiya Child Health Center (2-24-1, Toro-Cho, Ohmiha-Shi, Japan 336)

It is an interdisciplinary group whose members come from "management science, information science, physiology, public health and psychiatry".

M. Okuyama states: "the name" post-cybernetics was used because the word "cybernetics" strongly reminds people of mechanical and engineering feedback systems and, besides we wanted to pursue the new meta-disciplinary concept, and not just to be limited to the conservative cybernetics".

More members have joined the group. "Their specialities are artificial intelligence, engineering, cognitive science, sociology, accounting, marketing, and so on."

The group has a monthly conversation "which includes a lecture and discussion."

The above information has been published in Cybernetics and Human Knowing, 2(3), 1994

The present situation of this Group is unknown to this editor.
