In the context of systems science and systems philosophy, the term systemics refers to an initiative to study systems from a holistic point of view. It is an attempt at developing logical, mathematical, engineering and philosophical paradigms and frameworks in which physical, technological, biological, social, cognitive, and metaphysical systems can be studied and modeled.
The term "systemics" was coined in the 1970s by Mario Bunge and others, as an alternative paradigm for research related to General systems theory and Systems science.[1]
