This book covers the results of research that has been obtained during the last decades by scholars representing several scientific schools working in the field of theory of systems and system analysis. In the book chapters, attention is paid to the development of the general theory of systems' provisions, approaches, models, and methods of system analysis; such as the concepts of an open system and adaptive systems; the concepts of "the movable equilibrium" and "disequilibrium", the approach of "growing" the system and its developing through innovations; the system-target approach, systems' regularities; ontological, cognitive and logical-linguistic models of systems, etc. The book includes parts devoted to the general theoretical and philosophical-methodological problems of systems theory; methods and models of system analysis; innovation technologies in technical and socioeconomic systems; system analyses in the educational process, and higher education management. The materials of the book may be of interest to researchers and specialists working in the field of systems analysis, engineering, computer technologies, including human-computer interaction in socio-technical systems; for the representatives of the academic and engineering society.
