Paper (5000 - 7000 words). In the theoretical part the student presents selected aspects of general theory of systems (30%) with application in the field of informatics and outlines selected current results published in professional journals (20%). In the practical part, he / she creates a simulation model of the selected system (20%) and applies his / her knowledge of the field of study (30%), applying selected principles of general theory of systems and demonstrating the isomorphism of science on the example of computing of informatics and other selected disciplines.
