How to describe a system

How to describe a system

Any modern scientific research begins with the description of the studied system, whether it be a difficult natural object or creation of hands human. In the analysis of each phenomenon the system approach which consists in perhaps more complete, structured and complete description of a system is important.

It is required to you

  • Skills of the analysis of systems

Instruction

1. The system description is a sign form of providing to the person user of information on structure, structure, functions and other significant characteristics of an object or the phenomenon of reality. One of the fullest and effective methods of the description of complex systems is the method of pentabasis of V.A. Ganzen which originally found application in sciences about the person, in particular, in psychology, and was postponed later also for other systems, including artificial.

2. Materialistic idea of unity of the phenomena and processes of reality is the cornerstone of the specified method. Objective components of existence of material substrate are the space and time. Other feature of life consists in uneven distribution in space and time of substance, energy and information. According to V.A. Ganzen, the pentabasis includes substrate and also its spatial, temporary, power and information characteristics (SPVEI).

3. First of all, emit substrate – a kernel, essence of the system phenomenon which is subject to the description. As an example of such substrate we will consider the technical system which is functionally intended for movement of people and cargoes known as "car".

4. The car has spatial characteristics, such as case length, its width and height and also body configuration, structure and relative positioning of parts and units. You can describe these parameters extremely precisely that in itself allows to allocate the described system from a set of other technical objects relating to vehicles.

5. Describe temporary parameters of this system. It can be, for example, year of release, the operation term, dispersal time to the speed of 100 km/h and any other characteristics describing behavior of a system in time. Here it is possible to carry the warranty of manufacturer.

6. You can carry a type of the used fuel and lubricants, their expense to a power component of the system description of motor transport in unit of time, engine capacity, etc. Energy reflects also expenses of the material resources necessary for maintenance of operability of a system. So, for completeness of the description of the car system you have the right to reflect monetary costs of maintenance, repayment of a car loan and payments under the insurance contract.

7. Finish the description of a system information characteristics. In our example it can be the operational data (the weight, speed, fuel consumption, etc.) stated in technical documentation, the information about the producer, data on a run and many other things.
