Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 190))

Abstract

Consider a group of Production system (PS), Management system (MS) and Information system (IS), the major practical problem is how to design the best IS for given PS and MS. Such a problem is converted to a Trilogical-Coherence problem. Analytical tools, based on the Category theory, are suggested for its study. For this, the three systems are firstly modelized by the same devices: category, structure and functor. Sub-structures are then extracted under the forms of Correlated Fields of Problems (CCP for the PS), Habitual Domain of Responsibility (HDR for tne MS) and Natural Zones of Informations (NZI for the IS). Finally, the trilogical coherence is studied by relative transitivity and distance measures in these sub-structures.
