INCLUSION OF SCI'97 PROCEEDINGS IN A CD-ROM EXTENDED ENCYCLOPEDIA
An electronic version of the SCI 97 proceedings will also be available on
CD-ROM, with search and hypertext features. Other media, such as sound,
animation and video, are also being considered.
These proceedings will also be included in the CD-ROM Extended Encyclopedia
of Systemics and Cybernetics (TM), whose development in presently in
progress.
PARTICIPATIVE DESIGN FOR EARLY AUTHORS
Authors of early submitted and accepted papers will have the opportunity to
make suggestions about new requirements that are not being fulfilled by ISAS
95 software, which was a first prototype. In this way they could engaged in
the evolutive participative design that is being followed for both the
Electronic Proceedings and the CD-ROM Extended Encyclopedia.
PARTICIPANTS
Participation of both researchers and practitioners is strongly encouraged.
Papers to be submitted could be on research in science and engineering, as
well as on case studies drawn on professional practice and consulting, and
position papers based on large and rich experience gained through
executive/managerial praxis and decision-making. For this reason, the program
committee is conformed according to the criteria given above.
TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS ACCEPTED

PUBLICATIONS
Participants who wish to present a paper are requested to submit three copies
of a condensed first draft (500-1500 words) by January 17th, 1997. Submitted
papers will be referred. SCI 97 papers will be published by means of paper

International Institute of Informatics and Systemics, and included in the
CD-ROM Extended Encyclopedia of Systemics, Informatics and Cybernetics (TM),
whose development is presently in progress. Notification of acceptance will
be sent to authors by March 10th, 1997. The full paper, which cannot exceed
eight single-spaced typed pages, should be sent by means of diskette and
photoready hard copies of artwork, not later than May 12th, 1997.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Conference is to bring together, from universities and
corporations, academics and professionals, researchers and consultants,
scientists and engineers, theoreticians and practitioners, all over the world
to discuss themes of the conference and to participate with original ideas or
innovations, knowledge or experience, theories or methodologies, in the areas
of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (SCI).
Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (SCI) are being increasingly related
to each other and to almost every scientific discipline and human activity.
Their common transdisciplinarity characterizes and communicates them,
generating strong relations among them and with other disciplines. They
interpenetrate each other integrating a whole that is permeating human
thinking and practice. This phenomenon induced the Organization Committee to
structure SCI'97 as a multiconference where participants may focus on an
area, or on a discipline, while maintaining open the possibility of attending
conferences from other areas or disciplines. This systemic approach
stimulates cross-fertilization among different disciplines, inspiring
scholars, generating analogies and provoking innovations; which, after all,
is one of the very basic principles of the systems movement and a fundamental
aim in cybernetics.
BACKGROUND
The success achieved in ISAS'95 (Information Systems Analysis and Synthesis)
held in Baden-Baden (Germany), symbolized by the award granted by the
International Institute for Advanced Studios in Systems Research and
Cybernetics (Canada), as the best and largest symposium at the 5th
International Conference on Systems Research, Informatics and Cybernetics,
encouraged its sponsors and session chairs to organize ISAS'96 at Orlando and
prepare a more general Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics
(SCI'97) at Caracas (Venezuela). The widely acknowledged success of ISAS'96
(held on July 22-26 at Orlando) by means of spontaneous verbal feedback and a
written comprehensive evaluation from 143 authors, of high quality papers,
from 32 countries, galvanized the Program and Organizing Committees to make a
definitive commitment to organize SCI'97 and ISAS'97 at Caracas, in July
7-11,1997. Many Program and Organizing Committees members from past
international and world conferences are joining us for SCI'97 and ISAS'97,
including most of those who organized the World Conference on Systems
Sponsored by UNESCO and the United Nations' World Federation of Engineering
Organizations (WFEO). We are still looking for more organizational support
from experienced scholars, consultants, practitioners, professionals and
researchers, as well as from international or national organizations, public
or private, academic or professional.
