skip to main skip to sidebar Technologies!!! What is cybernetics? Cybernetics is the interdisciplinary study of the structure of regulatory systems. Cybernetics is closely related to control theory and systems theory. Both in its origins and in its evolution in the second-half of the 20th century, cybernetics is equally applicable to physical and social (that is, language-based) systems. Contemporary cybernetics began as an interdisciplinary study connecting the fields of control systems, electrical network theory, mechanical engineering, logic modeling, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, and psychology in the 1940s, often attributed to the Macy Conferences. Friday, March 20, 2009 Simulated reality Simulated reality This is different from the current, technologically achievable concept of virtual reality. Virtual reality is easily distinguished from the experience of "true" reality; participants are never in doubt about the nature of what they experience. Simulated reality, by contrast, would be hard or impossible to distinguish from "true" reality. The idea of a simulated reality raises several questions: Is it possible, even in principle, to tell whether we are in a simulated reality?

Triangles in families Download GenoPro Family Systems Theory The family systems theory is a theory introduced by Dr. Murray Bowen that suggests that individuals cannot be understood in isolation from one another, but rather as a part of their family, as the family is an emotional unit. Families are systems of interconnected and interdependent individuals, none of whom can be understood in isolation from the system. The family system Triangles : The smallest stable relationship system. Triangles usually have one side in conflict and two sides in harmony, contributing to the development of clinical problems. Differentiation of self: The variance in individuals in their susceptibility to depend on others for acceptance and approval. Nuclear family emotional system: The four relationship patterns that define where problems may develop in a family. - Marital conflict - Dysfunction in one spouse - Impairment of one or more children - Emotional distance Family projection process: The transmission of emotional problems from a parent to a child.

Domains Systems theory A system may be defined as a set of social, biological, technological or material partners co-operating on a common purpose. System theory is a philosophical doctrine of describing systems as abstract organizations independent of substance, type, time and space. Systems theories are connected to both ontological and epistemological views. The ontological view imply that the world consist of “systems” or “integrative levels”. The epistemological view implies a holistic perspective emphasizing the interplay between the systems and their elements in determining their respective functions. It is thus opposed to more atomistic approaches in which objects are investigated as individual phenomena. Systems theory developed especially from biology, in which it is difficult to understand the functions of, for example, the sexual reproduction of flowers separate from the functions of the insects. The modern understanding in biology is very much that of ecosystems. Systems theory exists in different versions and is related to some other fields. We can mention General Systems Theory (GST); the Systems Approach; Cybernetics and Operational Analysis. In recent years a version of system theory developed by the German sociologist Niklas Luhmann has been influential.

We are seeking another basic outlook: the world as organization. This (outlook) would profoundly change the categories of our thinking and influence our practical attitudes. We must envision the biosphere as a whole...with mutually reinforcing or mutually destructive interdependencies. We need a global system of mutually symbiotic societies, mapping new conditions in a flexible institutional structure and dealing with change through constructive reorganization."

It does not (yet) include a course plan, glossary, or extended bibliography. I was asked to write this by some teachers who received a copy of class notes I prepared for a course in "Understanding Whole Systems" sixteen years ago at the University of California at Santa Cruz. They asked how I would revise it based on what I know today. This document answers that question.

International Workshop on Regulated Agent-Based Social Systems: Theories and Applications (RASTA'02) These pages are no longer updated. as part of AAMAS 2002 organised by Institute of Science and Technology of Cognition - CNR, Italy, MIT Sloan School of Management, USA, Department of Computer Science, North Carolina State University, USA, University of Washington, USA, AI Lab of the Department of Computer Sciences , Humboldt University Berlin, and "Theoretical Foundations of Computer Science" Group , University of Hamburg Agent Technology is the latest paradigm of software engineering methodology. The development of autonomous, mobile, and intelligent agents brings new challenges to the field. Agent technologies and multi-agent-systems are one of the most vibrant and active research areas of computer science. At the same time commercial applications of agents are gaining attention. The construction of artificial (agent) societies leads to questions that already have been asked for human societies. Computer Scientists have adopted terms like emerging behavior, self-organization, and evolutionary theory in an intuitive manner. Multi-agent-system researchers have started to develop agents with "social" abilities and complex "social" systems. However, most of these systems lack the foundation of the social sciences . It is the intention to bring together researchers from computer science as well as the social sciences who see their common interest in social theories for the construction of multi-agent-systems.

Systems Theory and the Earth Systems Approach in Science Education. ERIC Digest. SYSTEM THEORY As Blauberg, Sadovsky and Yudin (1977) observed, a German-Canadian biologist, Ludwig von Bertalanffy (1901-1972) was a creator of General System Theory (GST). His conceptual approach has had a wide impact on such diverse disciplines as biology, psychology, and economics, and his system theory is an attempt to formulate common laws that apply to every scientific field. Heylighen and Joslyn (2001) stated, Bertalanffy was both reacting against reductionism and attempting to revive the unity of science. He emphasized that real systems are open to, and interact with, their environments, and that they can acquire qualitatively new properties through emergence, resulting in continual evolution. Rather than reducing an entity (e.g., the human body) to the properties of its parts or elements (e.g., organs or cells), systems theory focuses on the arrangement of and relations between the parts which connect them into a whole (cf. holism). This particular organization determines a system, which is independent of the concrete substance of the elements (e.g., particles, cells, transistors, people, etc). Thus, the same concepts and principles of organization underlie the different disciplines (physics, biology, technology, sociology, etc.), providing a basis for their unification. (p. 1)
