Third "Systems Science European Congress"
1 Octubre 1996 - 1 Octubre 1996
Italy
The third "Systems Science European Congress" will take place in Rome, Italy, on 1-4 October 1996. The conference is being organized jointly by AFCET (Association Française des Sciences et Technologies de l'Information et des Systèmes), AIRS (Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca sui Sistemi) and the UES (Union Européenne de Systémique). It is supported, amongst others, by DG XII (Science, Research and Development) of the European Commission and the World Organization of Systems and Cybernetics (WOSC).
Any system entails problems of borderlines, internal and external relations, structures, emerging properties, as well as problems of modes of observation and of standpoint of the observer, of representation and modelling, of simulation and strategy. Systems science combines theoretical, practical and methodological approaches related to the study of these problems. It contributes to the synergy of the various disciplines by a renewal of approaches and methods, in order to promote scientific, economic, social and technical development. It stands at the crossroads of epistemology science and technology, and opens new perspectives of action.
The congress aims to provide European systems science experts with a forum in which to compare and exchange their various respective approaches. Areas covered will include epistemology or theory as well as applications, with an emphasis on the following subject matters:
- Systems science history and evolution;
- Epistemology, methodology, technology;
- Transdisciplinarity of systems science models;
- Models, general systems, formalization;
- Practice and experiment in natural systems (physical, biological, medical, ecological);
- Practice and experiment in technical, administrative and socio-economical systems;
- Openness and closedness in systems;
- Organization, networks, hierarchy, complexity;
- Dynamics, adaptation, self-organization, emergence, chaos;
- Coherence, autonomy, auto-reference;
- Cybernetics, automata, robotics;
- Psychology, family therapy;
- Management, decision, strategy;
- Social and business ethics;
- Cognition, information, communication and multi-media, education, natural language;
- Neural nets, artificial life and intelligence.
