Systems theory - Definition Systems theory or general systems theory or systemics is an interdisciplinary field which studies systems as a whole. Systems theory was founded by Ludwig von Bertalanffy William Ross Ashby and others between the and the on principles from physics biology and engineering and later grew into numerous fields including philosophy sociology organizational theory management ... psychotherapy (within family systems therapy ) and economics among others. Cybernetics is a related field, sometimes considered as a part of systems theory. Systems theory focuses on complexity and interdependence. It has a strong philosophical dimension, because applied to the human mind and society, it results in unusual perspectives. In recent times complex systems has increasingly been used as a synonym. Systems theory has also been developed within sociology . The most notable scientist in this area is Niklas Luhmann (see Luhmann 1994). Part of systems theory, system dynamics is a method for understanding the dynamic behavior of complex systems. The basis of the method is the recognition that the structure of any system the many circular, interlocking, sometimes time-delayed relationships among its components is often just as important in determining its behavior as the individual components themselves. Examples are chaos theory and social dynamics In recent years, the field of

125. Dynamical Systems Theory Dynamical systems theory attempts to understand, or at least describe, the changes over time that occur in physical and artificial systems . http://www.math.princeton.edu/~hochman/research-expo.html

Dynamical Systems Theory: What in the World is it? Mike Hochman This page is a non-technical overview of some subjects related to my field of research. It's meant for freshmen students, my friends, my mom (hi mom!) and anyone else who is interested; you don't have to be a mathematician to read it. I've tried not to lie too much, though sometimes I've bent the truth a little in the interest of clarity (I hope, anyway). If you would like more details take a look at the list of references at the end. If you have any questions or suggestions I'd be glad to hear from you. What is dynamics about? Dynamical systems theory attempts to understand, or at least describe, the changes over time that occur in physical and artificial "systems". Examples of such systems include: The solar system (sun and planets), The weather, The motion of billiard balls on a billiard table, Sugar dissolving in a cup of coffee, The growth of crystals The stock market, The formation of traffic jams, The behavior of the decimal digits of the square root of 2; and so on.

128. General Living Systems Theory General Systems Theory (GST), arising out of the biological sciences, attempts to map general principles for how all systems work, especially living systems http://www.mollyyoungbrown.com/systems_article.htm

Patterns, Flows, and Interrelationship Early in his career, Gregory Bateson wrote: I picked up a vague mystical feeling that we must look for the same sort of processes in all fields of natural phenomenathat we might expect to find the same sort of laws at work in the structure of a crystal as in the structure of society, or that the segmentation of an earthworm might really be comparable to the process by which basalt pillars are formed. (in Berman, 1984) General Systems Theory (GST), arising out of the biological sciences, attempts to map general principles for how all systems work, especially living systems. Instead of examining phenomena by attempting to break things down into component parts, GST explores phenomena in terms of dynamic patterns of relationship. This shift in focus from things frozen in time to dynamic relationshipsunderlies systems thinking. Certain patterns of relationship and information flow seem to inhere in all living systems, in plants, animals, ecosystems, social groupings, communities, and organizations. Out of these patterns, our very universe forms itself, and all life within it. I. Every living system functions as a whole, manifesting properties that are not evident in its parts. As the old saw tells us, the whole is more than the sum of its parts. A human being is something more than just a conglomerate of carbon, oxygen, and water, mixed in with a few other minerals. A human is even more than a conglomerate of cells and tissues. How these elements, or cells and tissues, are organized makes for humanness, and for the distinctiveness of each individual human system as well. So at each new level of systemic organization, new properties and capacities emerge, often beyond anything we humans might predict.

Systems Theory Overview Systems Theory Terms: Problem A problem can be a question looking for an answer, a situation (such as an existing information system) that isn't working properly and needs improving, or a new opportunity or idea that is worthy of further consideration. In other words, when we speak of a "problem" in systems analysis and design, we don't necessarily mean that there is something wrong. We mean that there is a situation that needs to be understood and a solution to be determined. System From your text: A system is a set of related components that work together in a particular environment to perform whatever functions are required to achieve the system's objective Goal Seeking A system is goal-seeking by definition. When the definition of a system says that a system's components work together to achieve a common objective it means that the system seeks to complete a goal. For example, the objective of the digestive system is ensure that food is digested, with some byproducts going into the related circulatory system to nurture the body and other byproducts being expelled. The objective of a payroll system is likely to be to produce complete, correct and timely output in the form of cheques, reports, and updated history files. It is important to be able to identify the objectives of any existing or new system to be able to understand it and evaluate its effectiveness.
