Systems, cybernetics, control, and automation (SCCA) are four
interrelated and overlapping scientific and technological fields
that have contributed substantially to the development, growth, and
progress of human society. A large number of models, methods, and
tools were developed that assure high efficiency of SCCA applied to
practical situations. The real-life applications of SCCA encompass
a wide range of man-made or biological systems, including
transportations, power generation, chemical industry, robotics,
manufacturing, cybernetics organisms (cyborgs), aviation, economic
systems, enterprise, systems, medical/health systems, environmental
applications, and so on. The SCCA fields exhibit strong influences
on society and rise, during their use and application, many ethical
concerns and dilemmas. This book provides a consolidated and
concise overview of SCCA, in a single volume for the first time,
focusing on ontological, epistemological, social impact, ethical,
and general philosophical issues. It is appropriate for use in
engineering courses as a convenient tutorial source providing
fundamental conceptual and educational material on these issues, or
for independent reading by students and scientists. Included in the
book is: * Background material on philosophy and systems theory *
Major ontological, epistemological, societal and
ethical/philosophical aspects of the four fields that are
considered * Over 400 references and a list of 130 additional books
in the relevant fields * Over 100 colored photos and 70 line
figures that illustrate the text
