Preface
The title of the sixth national conference of the Italian Systems Society, “Towards a post-Bertalanffy Systemics”, aims to underline the need for Systemics and Systems Science to generalize theoretically, interdisciplinarily and trans-disciplinarily using systemic concepts arising from the original or Bertalanffy Systemics, as well as from various disciplines themselves. The topic of this sixth conference is an evolution of the subjects of previous conferences, namely: • 2002 Emergence in Complex Cognitive, Social and Biological Systems • 2004 Systemics of Emergence: Research and Applications • 2007 Processes of Emergence of Systems and Systemic Properties—Towards a General Theory of Emergence • 2011 Methods, Models, Simulations and Approaches Towards a General Theory of Change Consideration was made of the generic first phase of Systemics devoted to overcoming classical mechanistic views, introducing new theoretical approaches studied, for instance, through
