The 501-EMC Notes as offered by Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV) are as follows:

UNIT- I
A system is a set of interacting or interdependent components forming an integrated whole or a set of elements (often called’ components' ) and relationships which are different from relationships of the set or its elements to other elements or sets.
Fields that study the general properties of systems include Systems science, systems theory, cybernetics, systems, thermodynamics, and complex systems. They investigate the abstract properties of systems' matter and organization, looking for concepts and principles that are independent of domain, substance, type, or temporal scale.
Some systems share common characteristics, including:
• A system has structure, it contains parts (or components) that are directly or indirectly related to each other;
• A system has behavior, it contains processes that transform inputs into outputs (material, energy or data);
• A system has interconnectivity: the parts and processes are connected by structural and/or behavioral relationships.
• A system's structure and behavior may be decomposed via subsystems and sub-processes to elementary parts and process steps.

Types of System:-
Systems are classified in different ways:
1. Physical or abstract systems.
2. Open or closed systems.
3. 'Man-made' information systems.
4. Formal information systems.
5. Informal information systems.
6. Computer-based information systems.
