This e-book is published to honour the memory of Professor John (Jack) Rose and to mark his enormous contribution to Cybernetics, Systems and other fields, in which he had been so active. It is not an obituary but a tribute to his life and a celebration of his achievements as a warm human being, a family man and an academic who showed such foresight at a time when research and developments in so many areas were not adequately communicated worldwide. In this compilation we shall concentrate on tributes and contributions written in his memory which recall his dedication to systems and cybernetics. We have also included three of Prof. Rose's own papers from past issues of Kybernetes.
