504    Includes bibliographical references. 
520    The book contains the Proceedings of the 2010 Conference 
       of the Italian Systems Society. Papers deal with the 
       interdisciplinary study of processes of changing related 
       to a wide variety of specific disciplinary aspects. 
       Classical attempts to deal with them, based on 
       generalising approaches used to study the movement of 
       bodies and environmental influence, have included 
       ineffective reductionistic simplifications. Indeed 
       changing also relates, for instance, to processes of 
       acquisition and varying properties such as for software; 
       growing and aging biological systems; learning/cognitive 
       systems; and socio-economic systems growing and developing
       through innovations. Some approaches to modelling such 
       processes are based on considering changes in structure, 
       e.g., phase-transitions. Other approaches are based on 
       considering (1) periodic changes in structure as for 
       processes of self-organisation; (2) non-periodic but 
       coherent changes in structure, as for processes of 
       emergence; (3) the quantum level of description. Papers in
       the book study the problem considering its 
       transdisciplinary nature, i.e., systemic properties 
       studied per se and not within specific disciplinary 
       contexts. The aim of these studies is to outline a 
       transdisciplinary theory of change in systemic properties.
       Such a theory should have simultaneous, corresponding and 
       eventually hierarchical disciplinary aspects as expected 
       for a general theory of emergence. Within this 
       transdisciplinary context, specific disciplinary research 
       activities and results are assumed to be mutually 
       represented as within a philosophical and conceptual 
       framework based on the theoretical centrality of the 
       observer and conceptual non-separability of context and 
       observer, related to logically open systems and Quantum 
       Entanglement. Contributions deal with such issues in 
       interdisciplinary ways considering theoretical aspects and
       applications from Physics, Cognitive Science, Biology, 
       Artificial Intelligence, Economics, Architecture, 
       Philosophy, Music and Social Systems.
