Notions sur la théorie générale des systèmes. [...] La notion de système [...] s'étend à de nombreux domaines [...] La théorie des systèmes se propose de définir un cadre dans lequel on peut étudier le comportement d'une entité complexe et analysable. Un système est [...] formé d'éléments [...] constituant des sous-systèmes. [...] La théorie des systèmes vise à établir des règles mathématiques permettant de qualifier et de quantifier les relations qui existent entre les éléments du système, et de définir les modifications possibles, acceptables, et limites. 4, record 1, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20du%20syst%C3%A8me%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ral
