Abstract
The basic principles of an information-based systems approach to optimal organization of complex industrial processes with a hierarchical structure are outlined, for the example of systems in chemical technology. General laws of the development of living things can be employed. In particular, Roullier’s evolutionary law of growing system complexity in the organization of organisms is applied to the development of optimally organized systems in chemical technology, on the basis of a multilevel description. This approach gives rise to emergent properties (synergy) in the systems. As a result, exceptional efficiency is attained on account of optimal distribution of the system functions among its elements.
