WOSC 2017 at Sapienza, University of Rome

Dear Friends and Colleagues

We are pleased to invite you to join us at WOSC 17th Congress

Science with and for Society –

Contributions of Cybernetics and Systems

http://wosc2017rome.asvsa.org

at Sapienza, University of Rome, 25th to 27th January, 2017

WOSC 2017, the 17th Congress of World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics, will offer a space for conversations about social dynamics from a cyber-systemic perspective.

Its realisation is supported by a network of scientists from different parts of the world, which foretells an event more integrated than the usual running of parallel tracks.

The construction of the agenda has been highly participative; efforts have been made to support diversity within the shared thematic of science with and for society. In particular, we want to focus on challenges of the 21st century.

In a few days we will start receiving submissions of abstracts, focused on any of the Congress´s 16 tracks, which have been organised in three themes.

Themes and tracks

Theme1: People, technology and governance for sustainability

  1. Human aspects of managing systems
  2. Smartness and sustainability
  3. Smart technologies and big data
  4. The Brain of the future
  5. Governance in the Anthropocene: cybersystemic possibilities

Theme 2: Democracy, interactions and organisation

  1. Community self-organization
  2. Democracy and transparency
  3. Interactions revolution: how to harmonise interactions within and between complex adaptive systems
  4. Law, commons, social dynamics
  5. Knowledge to manage the knowledge society: non explicit, non invasive and non directive management
  6. The role of emergence within organizations
  7. The role of Higher Education for Sustainable Development

Theme 3: Cyber-systemic thinking, modelling and epistemology

  1. How can systems thinking help to bring solutions to humankind problems in the 21st century?
  2. Think outside the box with Systems Dynamics
