A Contextualised General Systems Theory
A system is something that can be separated from its surrounds, but this definition leaves much scope for refinement. Starting with the notion of measurement, we explore increasingly contextual system behaviour and identify three major forms of contextuality that might be exhibited by a system: (1) between components; (2) between system and experimental method; and (3) between a system and its ...
متن کاملContextualised Student Modelling for Enculturated Systems
Contextual student modeling, also called cultural profiling or cultural modeling, refers to the process of building a computational representation of the cultural identity and background of a student. Previous works have been done that identify and use certain environmental dimensions for such a model. In this paper, a new approach is proposed that uses additional dimensions, and incorporates c...
متن کاملA Contextualised Trust Model for Distributed Open Systems
This paper presents a contextualised model for trust, built upon the existing trust mechanisms, as opposed to the traditional rigid models. The contextualised model is based on the view that there is no one trust mechanism suitable for all scenarios. What might be suitable for one scenario could be inappropriate for another. We then bring this model to a practical level by showing how agents, a...
متن کاملPossibilistic Systems Within a General Information Theory
We survey possibilistic systems theory and place it in the context of Imprecise Probabilities and General Information Theory (git). In particular , we argue that possibilistic systems hold a distinct position within a broadly conceived, synthetic git. Our focus is on systems and applications which are semantically grounded by empirical measurement methods (statistical counting), rather than epi...
متن کاملToward A Practical General Systems Methodological Theory
Our main purpose in this paper is to describe the way in which we have been relating General System Theory (GST) to practice and to the design of a General Systems Methodology (GSM). Our first step was to apply GST to design a methodology for software development. Then, in a second step, by means of the experience/knowledge learned from applying the methodology to developing specific informatio...
