N2 - We present a brief exploratory research work on the structure of Systems Science. To guide the exploration through the forest of domains, concepts, theories and methodologies, the Domain of Science Model developed by John Warfield was used as a compass. Given that Systems Science is itself a system, it was researched as a conceptual/real system by considering the consensual points of view expressed by theoretical and practical systemists at conferences as well as in traditional and recent research reports. This exploratory research helped to identify and elucidate the main components of the body of knowledge that composes Systems Science as a whole: The domain of Systems Science The conceptual space and language of Systems Science The theoretical relations within Systems Science The methods of Systems Science At the end of the article we present some applications of the four main components of Systems Science.
