THE SYSTEM SYSTEM AND BRIDGES OVER THE GULF BETWEEN MAN-MACHINE-SYSTEM RESEARCH AND MAN-MACHINE-SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT,

Abstract

The need for greater coherence in the manmachine and other high-order interactions of our major systems is described, and an approach to achievement of that coherence is proposed. The approach involves a computer-centered meta-system (the 'system system') designed to facilitate communication, coordination, and problem-solving. The needs for, and roles of, such a meta-system in various phases of system design, development, production, and operation are discussed. (Author)
