[Словарь терминов ITIL версия 1.0, 29 июля 2011 г.]

система
Множество элементов, находящихся в отношениях и связях друг с другом, которое образует определенную целостность, единство. Следует отметить, что это определение (взятое нами из Большой Советской Энциклопедии) не является ни единственным, ни общепризнанным. Есть десятки определений понятия “С.”, которые с некоторой условностью можно поделить на три группы. Определения, принадлежащие к первой группе, рассматривают С. как комплекс процессов и явлений, а также связей между ними, существующий объективно, независимо от наблюдателя. Его задача состоит в том, чтобы выделить эту С. из окружающей среды, т.е. как минимум определить ее входы и выходы (тогда она рассматривается как “черный ящик”), а как максимум — подвергнуть анализу ее структуру (произвести структуризацию), выяснить механизм функционирования и, исходя из этого, воздействовать на нее в нужном направлении. Здесь С. — объект исследования и управления. Определения второй группы рассматривают С. как инструмент, способ исследования процессов и явлений. Наблюдатель, имея перед собой некоторую цель, конструирует (синтезирует) С. как некоторое абстрактное отображение реальных объектов. При этом С. (“абстрактная система”) понимается как совокупность взаимосвязанных переменных, представляющих те или иные свойства, характеристики объектов, которые рассматриваются в данной С. В этой трактовке понятие С. практически смыкается с понятием модели, и в некоторых работах эти два термина вообще употребляются как взаимозаменяемые. Говоря о синтезе С., в таких случаях имеют в виду формирование макромодели, анализ же С. совпадает в этой трактовке с микромоделированием отдельных элементов и процессов. Третья группа определений представляет собой некий компромисс между двумя первыми. С. здесь — искусственно создаваемый комплекс элементов (например, коллективов людей, технических средств, научных теорий и т.д.), предназначенный для решения сложной организационной, экономической, технической задачи. Следовательно, здесь наблюдатель не только выделяет из среды С. (и ее отдельные части), но и создает, синтезирует ее. С. является реальным объектом и одновременно — абстрактным отображением связей действительности. Именно в этом смысле понимает С. наука системотехника. Между этими группами определений нет непроходимых границ. Во всех случаях термин “С.” включает понятие о целом, состоящем из взаимосвязанных, взаимодействующих, взаимозависимых частей, причем свойства этих частей зависят от С. в целом, свойства С. — от свойств ее частей. Во всех случаях имеется в виду наличие среды, в которой С. существует и функционирует. Для исследуемой С. среда может рассматриваться как надсистема, соответственно, ее части — как подсистемы, а также элементы С., если их внутренняя структура не является предметом рассмотрения. С. делятся на материальные и нематериальные. К первым относятся, например, железная дорога, народное хозяйство, ко вторым — С. уравнений в математике, математика как наука, далее — С. наук. Автоматизированная система управления включает как материальные элементы (ЭВМ, документация, люди), так и нематериальные — математические модели, знания людей. Разделение это тоже неоднозначно: железную дорогу можно рассматривать не только как материальную С., но и как нематериальную С. взаимосвязей, соотношений, потоков информации и т.д. Закономерности функционирования систем изучаются общей теорией систем, оперирующей понятием абстрактной С. Наибольшее значение среди абстрактных С. имеют кибернетические С. Есть два понятия, близкие понятию С.: комплекс, совокупность (множество объектов). Они, однако, не тождественны ему, как нередко утверждают. Их можно рассматривать как усеченные, неполные понятия по отношению к С.: комплекс включает части, не обязательно обладающие системными свойствами (в том смысле, как это указано выше), но эти части сами могут быть системами, и элементы последних такими свойствами по отношению к ним способны обладать. Совокупность же есть множество элементов, не обязательно находящихся в системных отношениях и связях друг с другом. В данном словаре мы стремимся по возможности последовательно различать понятия С. и модели, рассматривая С. как некий объект (реальной действительности или воображаемый — безразлично), который подвергается наблюдению и изучению, а модель — как средство этого наблюдения и изучения. Разумеется, и модель, если она сама оказывается объектом наблюдения и изучения, в свою очередь рассматривается как С. (в частности, как моделируемая С.) — и так до бесконечности. Все это означает, что такие, например, понятия, как переменная или параметр, мы (в отличие от многих авторов) относим не к С., а к ее описанию, т.е. к модели (см. Параметры модели, Переменная модели), численные же их значения, характеризующие С., — к С. (например, координаты С.). • Системы математически описываются различными способами. Каждая переменная модели, выражающая определенную характеристику С., может быть задана множеством конкретных значений, которые эта переменная может принимать. Состояние С. описывается вектором (или кортежем, если учитываются также величины, не имеющие численных значений), каждая компонента которого соответствует конкретному значению определенной переменной. С. в целом может быть описана соответственно множеством ее состояний. Например, если x = (1, 2, … m) — вектор существенных переменных модели, каждая из которых может принять y значений (y = 1, 2, …, n), то матрица S = [ Sxy ] размерностью m ? n представляет собой описание данной С. Широко применяется описание динамической С. с помощью понятий, связанных с ее функционированием в среде. При этом С. определяется как три множества: входов X, выходов Y и отношений между ними R. Полученный “портрет системы” может записываться так: XRY или Y = ®X. Аналитическое описание С. представляет собой систему уравнений, характеризующих преобразования, выполняемые ее элементами и С. в целом в процессе ее функционирования: в непрерывном случае применяется аппарат дифференциальных уравнений, в дискретном — аппарат разностных уравнений. Графическое описание С. чаще всего состоит в построении графа, вершины которого соответствуют элементам С., а дуги — их связям. Существует ряд классификаций систем. Наиболее известны три: 1) Ст. Бир делит все С. (в природе и обществе), с одной стороны, на простые, сложные и очень сложные, с другой — на детерминированные и вероятностные; 2) Н.Винер исходит из особенностей поведения С. (бихевиористский подход) и строит дихотомическую схему: С., характеризующиеся пассивным и активным поведением; среди последних — нецеленаправленным (случайным) и целенаправленным; в свою очередь последние подразделяются на С. без обратной связи и с обратной связью и т.д.; 3) К.Боулдинг выделяет восемь уровней иерархии С., начиная с простых статических (например, карта земли) и простых кибернетических (механизм часов), продолжая разного уровня сложности кибернетическими С., вплоть до самых сложных — социальных организаций. Предложены также классификации по другим основаниям, в том числе более частные, например, ряд классификаций С. управления.

set of interrelated elements considered in a defined context as a whole and separated from their environment
NOTE 1 – A system is generally defined with the view of achieving a given objective, e.g. by performing a definite function.
NOTE 2 – Elements of a system may be natural or man-made material objects, as well as modes of thinking and the results thereof (e.g. forms of organisation, mathematical methods, programming languages).
NOTE 3 – The system is considered to be separated from the environment and the other external systems by an imaginary surface, which cuts the links between them and the system.
NOTE 4 – The term "system" should be qualified when it is not clear from the context to what it refers, e.g. control system, colorimetric system, system of units, transmission system.

système, m
ensemble d'éléments reliés entre eux, considéré comme un tout dans un contexte défini et séparé de son environnement
NOTE 1 – Un système est en général défini en vue d'atteindre un objectif déterminé, par exemple en réalisant une certaine fonction.
NOTE 2 – Les éléments d'un système peuvent être aussi bien des objets matériels, naturels ou artificiels, que des modes de pensée et les résultats de ceux-ci (par exemple des formes d'organisation, des méthodes mathématiques, des langages de programmation).
NOTE 3 – Le système est considéré comme séparé de l'environnement et des autres systèmes extérieurs par une surface imaginaire qui coupe les liaisons entre eux et le système.
NOTE 4 – Il convient de qualifier le terme "système" lorsque le concept ne résulte pas clairement du contexte, par exemple système de commande, système colorimétrique, système d'unités, système de transmission.
