  2. P system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_system

    A P system is a computational model in the field of computer science that performs calculations using a biologically inspired process. They are based upon the structure of biological cells , abstracting from the way in which chemicals interact and cross cell membranes .

  3. Membrane computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_computing

    The P systems may trade space and time complexities and less often use models to explain natural processes in living cells. The studies devise models that may at least theoretically be implemented on hardware. To date, the P systems are nearly all theoretical models that have never been reduced to practice, although a practical system is given ...

  4. Systems science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_science

    Systems science, also referred to as systems research [1] or simply systems, [2] is a transdisciplinary [3] field that is concerned with understanding simple and complex systems in nature and society, which leads to the advancements of formal, natural, social, and applied attributions throughout engineering, technology and science, itself.

  5. List of types of systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_systems...

    This list of types of systems theory gives an overview of different types of systems theory, which are mentioned in scientific book titles or articles. [1] The following more than 40 types of systems theory are all explicitly named systems theory and represent a unique conceptual framework in a specific field of science.

  6. Open system (systems theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_system_(systems_theory)

    In the social sciences an open system is a process that exchanges material, energy, people, capital and information with its environment. French/Greek philosopher Kostas Axelos argued that seeing the "world system" as inherently open (though unified) would solve many of the problems in the social sciences, including that of praxis (the relation of knowledge to practice), so that various social ...

  7. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    In this system, an arbitrary point O (the origin) is chosen on a given line. The coordinate of a point P is defined as the signed distance from O to P, where the signed distance is the distance taken as positive or negative depending on which side of the line P lies. Each point is given a unique coordinate and each real number is the coordinate ...

  8. System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System

    A system is a group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole. [1] A system, surrounded and influenced by its environment, is described by its boundaries, structure and purpose and is expressed in its functioning.

  9. Complex system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_system

    A complex system is a system composed of many components which may interact with each other. [1] Examples of complex systems are Earth's global climate, organisms, the human brain, infrastructure such as power grid, transportation or communication systems, complex software and electronic systems, social and economic organizations (like cities), an ecosystem, a living cell, and, ultimately, for ...
