Cybernetics 2.0: Modern Challenges and Perspectives

(Institute of Control Sciences, Moscow, Russia; Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Moscow, Russia)

Abstract: A new development stage of cybernetics (the so-called cybernetics 2.0) as a science on general regu-larities of systems organization and control – is discussed. A fruitful combination of organization and con-trol within cybernetics 2.0 would give a substantiated and efficient answer to the primary question of activi-ty systems engineering: how should control systems for them be constructed? Actually, this is a “reflexive” question related to second-order and even higher-order cybernetics. Mankind has to learn to design and implement control systems for complex systems (high-technology manufacturing, product life cycle, organ-izations, regions, etc.), similarly to the existing achievements in technical systems engineering!
