Scope
|
|
A knowledge-based, technology-supported society is one option for
dealing with the current problems of mankind. In order to realize
such a society, the establishment of a scientific discipline which
promotes the creation, management, integration, and application
of knowledge based on holistic, systemic principles is a pressing
objective. Beyond current research on knowledge management, it will
be necessary to understand and manage a complex, dynamic knowledge
society, within an overall systemic framework. Systems Science,
which provides such a basis, balances the relationships between
individuals and the whole, and formulates suitable policies, will
play a key role in the coming knowledge society.

Theme
and Topics |
|
The main theme of this Congress is to explore the new roles and
directions of Systems Sciences in the 21st Century society. The
focus will be on the influence of Systems Sciences on an emerging
knowledge society, and also on the challenges and expectations from
such a society on Systems Sciences.
Symposia 1 to 6 will present concrete research topics including
knowledge management, technology management, technology of information
and communication networks, etc. to search for a way to achieve
sustainable economic and ecologic development, which is an urgent
need common to all human beings.
These Symposia will be supported by Symposium 7 and the Workshops,
to investigate the foundations required by Systems Science to act
as the integrating force between the various methodological, sociological
and technological trends.
A Panel Discussion, including an Open Forum for interaction with
all participants, will collect and extrapolate the outcomes of the
Congress.
