Systemics

{{Short description|Study of systems}}

{{Refimprove|date=October 2009}}

In the context of systems science and systems philosophy, systemics is an initiative to study systems. It is an attempt at developing logical, mathematical, engineering and philosophical paradigms and frameworks in which physical, technological, biological, social, cognitive and metaphysical systems can be studied and modeled.{{citation needed|date=July 2012}}

The term "systemics" was coined in the 1970s by Mario Bunge and others, as an alternative paradigm for research related to general systems theory and systems science.Mario Bunge (1979). A World of Systems. Dordrecht; Boston: Reidel, p. 1.
