Purpose: Research Towards General Systems Theories SIG

General Systems Theories (GSTs) are needed to unify the systems sciences under common frameworks of description, analysis and explanation, Steering group: George Mobus, Tyler Volk, Shingai Thornton, BruceMc McNaughton, LynnRasmussen, Rob Young. Contact: GST-SIG-Steering@isss.org.

General Systems Theories (GSTs) are needed to unify the systems sciences under common frameworks of description, analysis, and explanation, and open new routes to systems-scientific innovation. This SIG provides a venue for developing and discussing ideas, strategies, frameworks, opportunities, and challenges relevant to research towards developing and applying GSTs.

Topics include:

* Comparing and contrasting candidate approaches to General Systems Theory.

* Refining the concepts central to general systems.

* Identifying principles of behaviors and structures across kinds of systems.

* Discussing the limitations and potentials of GST to facilitate interdisciplinary communication, scientific discovery, and the unity of knowledge.
