Description and Table of Contents
Description
This work contains the proceedings of a meeting held by 18 American and Soviet scholars on the state of cybernetics and systems theory in their two countries. American interest focused on the observation of systems, whilst Soviet interest focused on mathematical modelling. The book opens with an examination of epistemology and conceptual difficulties between the two countries, goes on to look at the latest research in cybernetics and logic in artificial intelligence systems and concludes with a discussion of the management of complexity in the systems age and a comparison of the approaches of the two countries to models of international relations.
