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.

A projection of a complete model of some situation or system composed from different partial perspectives ( or views) on to a particular subject.

J. LIND (2000, p. 640-1), who proposes this… view, distinguishes:

- the task view through which a task hierarchy is generated to determine the basic problem solving capacity or possibilities available

- the environment view which considers the nature of the relationship of the system with its environment

- the role view which "determines the functional constraints that characterize the capabilities of the different active agents"

- the interaction view which considers how the needed communications among active agents must be ordered in function of the pursued goals

- the society view seeks a model consistent with the roles as they are accepted and interconnected within the society

- the architectural view "is a projection of the general organization needed to manage a specific situation. It includes for ex. "agent management or database integration"

- "the system view which seeks a kind of final coordination dealing "with aspects that affect several of the other views at the same time or even the system as a whole ( loosely summarized from A. LIND's paper, who aims at practical management uses)

→ Design; Design (Generic); etc… -Management; Multi-agents system
