Principles of Information Science Chapter 10 Methodology, Applications & Progress
§1| ntroduction Background for New Methodology Modern natural science methodology is mainly based on matter and energy. Even though matter and energy are still necessitate factors in information system, yet the characteristic feature of information systems, particularly the complex ones, is neither matter nor energy, but information. Without information the complex information systems like brain and intelligent life, cannot be understood

The Weakness of Old Methodology Structuralism(Matter)-The Same Function May Have Different Structure Functionalism(Energy)-The Same Function May have Different mechanisms Information- Central Mechanism for Complex systems
The Weakness of Old Methodology Structuralism (Matter) – The Same Function May Have Different Structure Functionalism (Energy) – The Same Function May Have Different Mechanisms Information – Central Mechanism for Complex Systems
82 Methodology of Informatics The main body of the methodology includes: Information( Mechanism) analysis of complex systems Information(Mechanism) synthesis of complex systems Information(Mechanism) evolution of complex systems The related criteria of the methodology include: The trinity of matter, energy, and information; The trinity of structure, function, and behavior
