A large number of models, methods, and tools were developed that assure high efficiency of SCCA applied to practical situations. The real-life applications of SCCA encompass a wide range of man-made or biological systems, including transportations, power generation, chemical industry, robotics, manufacturing, cybernetics organisms (cyborgs), aviation, economic systems, enterprise, systems, medical\/health systems, environmental applications, and so on. The SCCA fields exhibit strong influences on society and rise, during their use and application, many ethical concerns and dilemmas. This book provides a consolidated and concise overview of SCCA, in a single volume for the first time, focusing on ontological, epistemological, social impact, ethical, and general philosophical issues. It is appropriate for use in engineering courses as a convenient tutorial source providing fundamental conceptual and educational material on these issues, or for independent reading by students and scientists.Included in the book is: - Background material on philosophy and systems theory- Major ontological, epistemological, societal and ethical\/philosophical aspects of the four fields that are considered in the book- Over 400 references and a list of 130 additional books in the relevant fields - Over 100 colored photos and 70 line figures that illustrate the text\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45242531971223,"sku":"9788770229821","price":2884.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788770229821.webp?v=1769232410","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/systems-cybernetics-control-and-automation-9788770229821","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
