Vesselin Iossifov, HTW Berlin 1. Technische Kybernetik – Trends und Charakterisierung Definition (allgemein) Die Technische Kybernetik ist eine interdisziplinäre Ingenieurwissenschaft an der Schnittstelle zu den System- und Naturwissenschaften, welche sich mit der Modellierung, Simulation, Regelung und Steuerung technischer Systeme befasst. Sie stellt ein Teilgebiet der Kybernetik dar und basiert größtenteils auf Methoden der mathematischen System- und Automatentheorie sowie der Regelungstechnik. Quelle: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technische_Kybernetik Festvortrag auf der Mitgliederversammlung des ETV e.V., BV im VDE 23.April 2016 Seite 2 Prof. Dr. -Ing. Vesselin Iossifov, HTW Berlin Definition (Gründerzeit) Der Begriff der „Kybernetik“ wurde erstmals 1947 vom US-amerikanischen Mathematiker Norbert Wiener eingeführt. Wiener hatte erkannt, dass es im Bezug auf die Interaktion mit der Umwelt sowie auf die damit verbundene Regelung oftmals die gleichen Prinzipien sind, nach denen sowohl technische, soziologische oder wirtschaftliche Systeme als auch lebende Organismen funktionieren. Basierend auf dem griechischen Begriff κυβερνήτης („Steuermann“) prägte Wiener für diese Erkenntnis und die damit verbundene Wissenschaft die Bezeichnung „Cybernetics“. Der chinesische Wissenschaftler H. S. Tsien griff die Ideen Wieners auf und führte 1954 im Rahmen seiner Arbeit in der Luft- und Raumfahrtforschung den Begriff „Engineering Cybernetics“ ein, auf welchem die heutige deutsche Bezeichnung "Technische Kybernetik" beruht.

  • The Development of the World Bank As an Autonomous Legal System
    The Development of the World Bank as an Autonomous Legal System James Alistair Hinton Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Law June 2014 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. © 2014 The University of Leeds and James Alistair Hinton i Acknowledgments My time on my Ph.D. programme would not have been possible without the help of a great many people. Family and friends helped me along the way, but to Wouter, to Benjamin and, most of all, to Steven, your example has inspired me and where I am today I owe to the three of you. ii Abstract This thesis positions the World Bank Inspection Panel at the centre of a World Bank legal system. International legal positivism can no longer explain the governance role and actions that the World Bank is undertaking and, instead, systems theory is put forward as an alternative tool of legal understanding. The conceptual tool of systems theory, as a tool of legal understanding, is analysed and constructed to provide a mechanism via which the Bank's behaviour can be framed in terms of law. The essentialist analysis of systems theory identifies, inter alia, the need for a Court-like body ruling upon the legal/illegal binary communication divide as being a required element for the evolution of a normative system into a legal system.
