The viability as an emergent property of self-organizing systems

Abstract

The necessity of a man-machine system considering as a self-organizing one is shown. The most significant difficulty in such a system is the study of its emergent properties. The paper focuses on viability as an emergent property of the system. The concepts of hardiness, human factor, system resources, biosystem were considered. It allowed proposing the viability’s concept of a self-organizing system based on biomimetics principles.
