Le XXème siècle aura connu un important changement de méthode : l’apparition du paradigme systémique, venant compléter le paradigme analytique – ou comment l’on est passé de la métaphore fondationnelle du bâtiment à la métaphore organisationnelle du réseau.

Ière partie : Les fondateurs

1. La théorie générale des systèmes (Bertalanffy)

2. Le structuralisme

3. La cybernétique

4. La théorie de l’information

IIème partie : La notion de système

1. Historique

2. Quatre concepts fondamentaux

a. L’interaction (ou l’interrelation)

b. La totalité (ou la globalité)

c. L’organisation

d. La complexité.

3. Description d’un système

4. Conservation des systèmes : état constant et homéostasie

5. Variété d’un système

6. Typologie des systèmes

IIIème partie : outils et domaines d’application

1. Les deux systémiques

2. Les outils systémiques

Le raisonnement analogique

- Les techniques d’aide à la décision

Les représentations graphiques

3. Les domaines d’application

Starting with skeleton sentences, pools of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, and a random assortment of computer science jargon, the program produced a grammatically correct yet utterly nonsensical paper titled: "Rooter: a methodology for the typical unification of access points and redundancy".

CUTTING-EDGE artificial intelligence it was not, but a student prank still managed to get the better of some human intelligences last week, when a computer-generated piece of gibberish was accepted as a genuine scientific paper.

Sick of receiving spam emails requesting submissions to the 2005 World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics - which charges $390 for each attendee - students Jeremy Stribling, Daniel Aguayo and Maxwell Krohn of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology wrote a program to generate a nonsense paper.

Starting with skeleton sentences, pools of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, and a random assortment of computer science jargon, the program produced a grammatically correct yet utterly nonsensical paper titled: "Rooter: a methodology for the typical unification of access points and redundancy". "This isn't artificial intelligence, it's the dirt-simplest way we could think to do this," Stribling says.

The conference organisers say that the paper was sent to human reviewers, who never commented on it, so it ended up being automatically accepted. The conference has now banned the paper. But the pranksters are still planning to give a computer-generated talk at the conference by persuading a human speaker to let them take his or her place.
