Expert subject multiple Mathematics Systems date February 2010 By the term multidimensional systems or m D systems we mean the branch of mathematical systemstheory where not only one Variable mathematics variable exists like time , but several independent variables. Important problems like factorization and Stability theory stability have recently attracted the interest of many researchers and practitioners. The reason is that the factorization and stability of m D systems m 1 is not a straightforward extension of the factorization and stability of 1 D systems because for example the fundamental theorem of algebra does not exist in the Ring mathematics ring of m D m 1 polynomials . Applications Multidimensional systems or m D systems are the necessary mathematical background for modern digital image processing with many applications in biomedicine , X ray technology and satellite communications . There are also some studies combining m D systems with partial differential equations PDEs .

It is opposing soft systems . Overview While Soft systems thinking treats all problems as ill defined or not easily quantified, Hard systems approaches Systems analysis structured methods , Operations research and so on assume that the problems associated with such systems are well defined they have a single, optimum solution a scientific approach to problem solving will work well technical factors will tend to predominate Methodology In hard systems approaches or Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology SSADM , rigid techniques and procedures are used to provide unambiguous solutions to well defined data and processing problems. These focus on computer implementations. In Soft systems methodology SSM , a toolbox of techniques can be used at the discretion of the analyst. These focus on improvements to organisational problems. Systems Thinking According to Peter Checkland , Systems Thinking is composed of two complementary processes Systems analysis Systems Synthesis Checkland draws attention to these two alternative paradigms to explain the nature and significance of Systems Thinking Paradigm 1 the world is considered to be systemic and is studied systematically Paradigm 2 the world is problematic I.e. it admits to many different interpretations and we study it systemically Now the first paradigm reflects the notion of Hard Systems Thinking and the second reflects the notion of Soft Systems Thinking.

The philosophy and the science of systems constitute the knowledge of systems the methodology and the application constitute the action of systems. According to systems philosophy, there are no systems in nature. The universe, the world and nature have no ability to describe themselves. That which is, is.

Systems immunology is a recent research field that, under the larger umbrella of systems biology , aims to study the immune system in the more integrated perspective on how entities and players participate at different system levels to the immune function. The immune system has been thoroughly analyzed as regards to its components and function by using a very successful reductionist approach, but its overall functioning principles cannot easily be predicted by studying the properties of its isolated components because they strongly rely on and arise from the interactions among these numerous constituents. Systems immunology represents a different approach for the integrated comprehension of the immune system structure and function based on complex systemstheory, high throughput techniques, as well as on mathematical and computational tools.
