In this paper the theory of compositional systems is described in detail, taking as a starting point the theoretical framework inherent to systems science. The origins of this science and the definitions of its fundamental concepts are provided in the first part of the article, illustrated with musical examples. The central part of the article contains the definition of the concept of compositional system, its typology, and a series of tools that are useful for implementations. Finally, the design of three types of systems (open, semi-open and feedback) are carried out in order to produce small illustrative musical fragments.
