摘要:
本文讨论关于大系统理论的几个问题,即:什么是大系统?大系统理论与控制理论的关系;大系统理论与系统工程的关系;大系统理论与控制论的关系;大系统理论的特殊问题. 作者认为,大系统理论是第三代控制理论的重要内容,是综合自动化的理论基础.另一方面,大系统理论也是系统工程发展的新阶段--动态系统工程.也可以说,大系统理论是控制论的新分支--大系统控制论.大系统理论不是关于系统大小的分类学,而是大规模复杂控制与信息系统分析和综合的方法学,是研究大系统的系统科学.
Abstract:
In this paper, some problems for large Scale Systems theory are discussed. There are: what the Large Scale System (LSS) is; the relationship between LSS' theory and control theory; the relationship between LSS' theory and System Engineering; the relationship between LSS' theory and Cybernetics; the special problems of LSS' theory. In author's opinion, LSS' theory is the important part of the third age of control theory, i.e. the fundamental of the total complex automation. On the other hand, LSS' theory is the new stage of development Systems Engineering--Dynamical Systems Engineering. It may also be said, LSS' theory is the new branch of cybernetics --LSS' Cybernetics. LSS' theory is not the classification of the size of various systems, but it's the methodology of the analysis and synthesis of large complex control and information system. It is the system science of large scale systems.
