Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to justify the theme of the ASC 50th anniversary conference; to implement Mead’s cybernetics of cybernetics; and to establish cybernetics as “a way of acting” as well as Glasersfeld’s “a way of thinking”. Design/methodology/approach – Examination of the implicit in Mead’s cybernetics of cybernetics and comparison ...

Introduction: a conference doing the cybernetics of cybernetics
Kybernetes, 2011PurposeThis paper introduces the other papers in this issue, describing and arguing for the context in which they were written – a conference that was, unusually, based in conversation rather than reporting through the presentation of papers: and a refereeing process that continued after the initial presentation (at the conference) of the work reported,

The cybernetics of authenticity
Kybernetes, 2013PurposeResearch was conducted in order to identify behaviours that improve a system viability in a complex, chaotic and volatile world. The purpose of this paper is to explain why complex cybernetic systems must be authentic over time in order to maximise their viability in a complex, chaotic and volatile world.Design/methodology/approachIn total ...

Modern robots require a level of intelligence to carry out the operations required of them. We now have the capacity to build robots that are capable of learning and adapting. Many of these modern triumphs can be attributed to cybernetics. By combining many disciplines together to understand communication and control, cybernetics has made it possible ...

The interview is the most frequently used, but often disputed, method of data collection in the social sciences. Methodological research after the sources of response errors in interviews has borrowed concepts and insights from cybernetics. For example, interviewing in search of “subjective phenomena” like attitudes is conceived as a form of black box ...

PurposeTaoist thought is not easily penetrable for Westerners, though it has growing importance with the globalisation of Chinese commerce. The purpose of this paper is to explore some aspects of Chinese and Taoist thought, and how they can be expressed in cybernetic terms, using a knowledge cybernetics (KC) schema.Design/methodology/approachKC ...

This narrative is a response to an invitation to share my story regarding cybernetics. I begin with an exploration of what “for the love of cybernetics” means to me. Tracing experiences and connections to cybernetics over the course of 50 years I explore how I observe and give voice to my relation with people and situations both personal and ...

THE SCIENCE OF CYBERNETICS AND THE CYBERNETICS OF SCIENCE
Cybernetics and Systems, 1990Recent developments in cybernetics have challenged key tenets in the philosophy of science. The philosophy of science constitutes a theory of knowledge that is often called realism. However, the philosophy of science is not a unified field, there are a variety of points of view.

The cybernetics of the concept
SMC'03 Conference Proceedings. 2003 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. Conference Theme - System Security and Assurance (Cat. No.03CH37483), 2004The concept of concept is central to several mathematical fields dealing with the processing and interpretation of knowledge, such as Computational Learning Theory in Machine Learning or Formal Concept Analysis in Artificial Intelligence. It has however had much less of an impact on other related mathematical fields, amongst which Data Mining and ...
