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.

SOCIEDAD ESPAÑOLA DE SISTEMAS GENERALES (SESGE) 1)

← Back

The Spanish Society for General Systems was founded in 1982 by a group of Spanish scholars under the leadership of R. RODRIGUEZ DELGADO (its late honorary President), in Madrid.

After publishing for a time a Newsletter, it created the "Revista Internacional de Sistemas" in 1989, which publishes papers in English, French and Spanish related to theoretical and applied systemics and cybernetics.

It also contributed to the organization of socalled Fuschl Conversations in Spain (AIicante; Valencia).

Under the impulse of members of the SESGE, an Association of Systems was also created in Valencia and, in the same city's University, a Faculty of Systems was created in 1992. It is however mainly oriented to Operation Research and Systems Dynamics.

Another member of SESGE, J. ARACIL, of Sevilla University, is the main Spanish specialist in Systems Dynamics.

After the death of its founder, the seat of the SESGE has been transferred to the Valencia University, where interesting applied systems studies are continued, mainly under the leadership of Antonio CASELLES.

The president of the SESGE is now Lorenzo FERRER, at the same University.

In Madrid the sociologist Francisco PARRALUNA (Universidad Complutense) applies systemic concepts and models to his discipline.
