General system theory or, more simply, system theory is essentially a body of abstract concepts and mathematical techniques which can be applied to analysis and design of a wide variety of physical systems. This paper presents a brief exposition of some of the basic concepts of system theory and sketches its principal problems and techniques.

A Generalization of the Theory of Biometric System Entropy
2018 Asia-Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association Annual Summit and Conference (APSIPA ASC), 2018Takahashi and Murakami introduced a theoretical framework to define and evaluate a measure of information gained through a biometric matching system, called the Biometric System Entropy or BSE. The BSE enables us to understand and evaluate the personal identification capability of biometric information from an information theoretical point of view ...

Recent developments in general system theory
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, 2010AbstractBertalanffy's general system theory (GST) was conceived as a unifying research program, as a science of ‘wholeness’ to overcome or complement mechanistic and reductionist approaches. More than 50 years since the founding of the Society for General Systems Research (SGSR), today's International Society for the Systems Sciences (ISSS), two ...

GENERAL SYSTEMS THEORY AND ALGORITHM THEORY
International Journal of General Systems, 1983This paper briefly considers tome relationships of general systems theory to algorithm theory. A general systems theory type of approach provides a framework for algorithm design. We explicate this framework, and then we demonstrate new insights into algorithm design which follow from the framework.

Fundamentally, general systems are a science of organizing and organization. To make use of general system theory in human communication requires a commitment to spending some time acquiring a framework for understanding its goals, scope, and basic concepts. General system theory has a rich and lengthy heritage. The chapter briefly summarizes the basic

General Systems Theory—The Skeleton of Science
Management Science, 1956In recent years increasing need has been felt for a body of systematic theoretical constructs which will discuss the general relationships of the empirical world. This is the quest of General Systems Theory. It does not seek, of course, to establish a single, self-contained “general theory of practically everything” which will replace all the special ...

A general theory of systems performance criteria
International Journal of General Systems, 2009Based on general systems thinking of the past half century and the efficiency literature of the last 100 years, this research develops a theoretical model of systems performance criteria that provides a means to evaluate how well any living system, whether individual, organisational or societal, performs task-related activities in the pursuit of goals.
