Here is a gentle (conceptual) introduction into the category theory

Basic Category Theory for Computer Scientists (Foundations of Computing) by
Benjamin C. Pierce
Categories for Software Engineering by Jos? L. Fiadeiro
Category Theory for Computing Science by Michael Barr and Charles Wells
(it's not gentle at all :-))
There are several articles of J. Goguen about connection between category
theory and general systems theory:
1) J. Goguen (1973) Categorial foundations for general systems theory
2) J. Goguen, S. Ginali (1978) A categorial approach to general systems
theory
3) J. Goguen (1991) A categorial manifesto
