CALL FOR PAPERS
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 modeling, of simulation and
strategy.
Systems Science combines theoretical, practical and
methodolodcal 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 at providing the Systems Science
experts of all European countries, in the framework of their
scientific traditions, with the opportunity to compare and
exchange their various respective approaches The Program
