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]
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.[1]
