Systems science is the interdisciplinary field of science, that studies the principles of systems in nature, in society and in science itself.
Types of systems science are systems theory, cybernetics and chaos theory, and all kinds of similar sciences.
The aim of systems science is to develop interdisciplinary foundations for all science. This foundation is used in a variety of areas, such as engineering, biology, medicine and social sciences.
