BOOK REVIEW - Cybernetics and Applied Systems

Theodor-Dan Popescu
Abstract

Initially, the field of cybernetics encompassed different areas of sciences as statistics, information, computing machines, nervous systems, as well as adjacent disciplines as economics, sociology, psychopathology and linguistics, not as a collection of individual disciplines, but rather as a way of reasoning in sciences. In the last decades, cybernetics revolutionized large areas of engineering and technology. Also, its concepts of self-regulation, autonomy, interactive adaptation provided a rigorous theoretical basis for the achievement of a dynamic equilibrium among human individuals, groups and societies.
