W ELCOME to the first issue of the new year! As you have no doubt noticed, our transaction's name has changed—from IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SYSTEMS, MAN, AND CYBERNETICS PART B: CYBERNETICS to a more concise IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CYBERNETICS (TCyb). For the past many months, the publications of the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMCS) have been undergoing a major reorganization. The reo...

Purpose: Three levels of learning developed by Gregory Bateson in the tradition of second‐order cybernetics have in‐part been translated in terms of double‐loop and triple‐loop learning, particularly in the tradition of systems thinking. Learning III and triple‐loop learning have gained less popularity since they deal with less tangible issues regarding virtues of wisdom and justice respective...

We take the position that Cybernetics offers a theoretical basis for the development of components, component frameworks, and component framework frameworks. Although not recognized as such, Cybernetic principles are currently used in successful software. A goal in proposing Cybernetics for component design is to permit the development of organic software systems to meet increasingly complex ap...

Manual control cybernetics aims to understand and describe how humans control vehicles and devices using mathematical models of human control dynamics. This ‘cybernetic approach’ enables objective and quantitative comparisons of human behavior, and allows a systematic optimization of human control interfaces and training associated with manual control. Current cybernetics theory is primarily ba...

“Molecular Cybernetics” is an emerging research field aiming the development of “Chemical AI”, artificial intelligence with memory and learning capabilities based on molecular communication. It originated from Robotics”, which studies systems that comprise three basic elements robots; Sensing, Planning, Acting. Development Amoeba-type robot (unicellular cell,) motivated construction multicellul...
