Systems Topics (11)
Complexity Systems
0

The complexity of a problem can sometimes be reduced by cleverly changing its representation. A seemingly intractable problem might become easily solvable with a different perspective. elaborate

Structures Systems
1

In computer science, structures (or structs) can be nested—meaning a structure can contain another structure as a member, creating complex data organizations. elaborate

Feedback Systems
2

In audio engineering, feedback is often unwanted, but it's the fundamental principle behind electric guitars' characteristic sustain and distortion. elaborate

Cybernetics Systems
3

The term "cybernetics" was coined by Norbert Wiener, and is derived from the Greek word "kybernetes," meaning "steersman" or "governor." elaborate

Dynamics Systems
4

Microsoft Dynamics 365's roots trace back to the early 1990s with the release of Great Plains Software's accounting software, which eventually became a core component of the Dynamics ERP suite. elaborate

Processes Systems
5

A process can have multiple threads, allowing it to perform multiple tasks seemingly simultaneously within the same program. elaborate

Autopoiesis Systems
6

Autopoiesis, the property of a system to maintain itself, isn't limited to living organisms; some computer models have also demonstrated autopoietic characteristics. elaborate

Emergence Systems
7

Emergence is a phenomenon where complex systems spontaneously develop properties not present in their individual components. For example, the wetness of water isn't a property of a single water molecule, but emerges from the collective behavior of many. elaborate

Patterns Systems
8

The patterns on a snowflake are never exactly duplicated, even on the same snowflake. elaborate

Synergy Systems
9

Synergy, in a business context, doesn't always mean a perfectly harmonious collaboration. Sometimes, the "synergy" is just the sum of individual efforts, not a truly multiplicative effect. elaborate

Systems Systems
10

Some distributed systems use a technique called "gossip protocols" where nodes randomly exchange information with each other, eventually ensuring that all nodes have a consistent view of the system state, even without a central authority. elaborate
