No single standard systems taxonomy exists, although several attempts have been made to produce a useful classification taxonomy, e.g. Taxonomies are useful ways of organizing large numbers of individual items so their similarities and differences are apparent. Four specific types of engineered system context system context are generally recognized in systems engineering systems engineering: product system product system, service system service system, enterprise system enterprise system and system of systems system of systems.Ī taxonomy is 'a classification into ordered categories' ( 2011). The idea of an engineered system engineered system is expanded. These classification schemes look at either the kinds of elements elements from which the system is composed or its reason for existing. This article considers the different classification systems which some systems science systems science authors have proposed in an attempt to extract some general principles principles from these multiple occurrences. Indeed, it seems there is almost no end to the use of the word “system” in today’s society. Some examples include transport systems solar systems telephone systems the Dewey Decimal System weapons systems ecological systems space systems etc. The modern world has numerous kinds of systems that influence daily life. It provides various perspectives on system system classifications and types of systems, expanded from the definitions presented in What is a System?.
