o Image processing (incl. scene analysis)
o Signal processing (incl. speech processing and recognition)
o Self-reconfigurable systems
o Self-healing systems
o Self-testing systems
o Coupled oscillatory systems
o Bio-computing, neuro-computing, biology, bio-chemistry
o Chaos control
o Communication (wired and wireless), networking and sensor
networks

o Social sciences, psychology, business and management

Important dates:
Extended abstract submission: 28.02.2008
Acceptance notification: 15.04.2008
Full paper submission: 30.04.2008
Early registration deadline: 25.05.2008


Submission of papers:
Researchers are invited to submit an extended abstract (min. 3-4 pages)
before 28.02.2008. After review and acceptance of the extended abstracts
authors will be invited to submit a 6-8 page full paper version. For
submission please follow the link: http://edas.info/6155.
Camera-ready full papers will be included in the workshop proceedings,
which will be published by “Shaker Verlag” (Germany) and distributed to
the participants at the workshop.

Post-workshop publications:
The best contributions, based upon the quality, novelty and relevancy,
will be invited to submit a longer paper (10-14 pages). After undergoing
a thorough review process selected papers will be published in two books
(one with Springer and the second with World Scientific Publisher).
Moreover two special issues of journals are also planned: one with “The
Open Cybernetics and Systemics Journal” published by Bentham publishing,
and the second with the “International Journal of Computational
Intelligence Systems”, published by Atlantis Press. The first special
issue will be on “Nonlinear Dynamics, Synchronization, and
Applications”. The second special issue will select 7 papers related to
soft computing issues/applications in the context of nonlinear dynamics
and synchronization.

The Past, Present and Future of Cybernetics and Systems Research

Summary of "The Past, Present and Future of Cybernetics and Systems Research" Symposium M at  European Meetings on Cybernetics and Systems Research (EMCSR), Vienna, Austria, April 12, 2012. Organizer: Carlos Gershenson This guided reflection on the challenges and opportunities of cybernetics and systems research (CSR) included initial interventions by panelists Peter Erdi, Helena Knyazeva, Stefan Thurner, Peter Csermely, and Alexander Lazlo. Afterwards, the floor was opened to interventions from the general public and further interventions by panelists. Commentaries were made from a broad variety of perspectives, but several general ideas can be distilled from the discussion. CSR have strongly influenced all scientific disciplines. As an example, the term "system" is used commonly in daily language. One of the breakthroughs of CSR lies in the search of commonalities across disciplines. Even when this was achieved to a certain degree, there is still a lack of...

New Book: Complexity: 5 Questions

Image
This volume consists of short, interview-style contributions by leading figures in the field of complexity, based on five questions. The answers trace their personal experience and expose their views on the definition, aspects, problems and future of complexity. The aim of the book is to bring together the opinions of researchers with different backgrounds on the emerging study of complex systems. In this way, we will see similarities and differences, agreements and debates among the approaches of different schools. Contributors: Peter M. Allen, Philip W. Anderson, W. Brian Arthur, Yaneer Bar-Yam, Eric Bonabeau, Paul Cilliers, Jim Crutchfield, Bruce Edmonds, Nigel Gilbert, Hermann Haken, Francis Heylighen, Bernardo A. Huberman, Stuart A. Kauffman, Seth Lloyd, Gottfried Mayer-Kress, Melanie Mitchell, Edgar Morin, Mark Newman, Grégoire Nicolis, Jordan B. Pollack, Peter Schuster, Ricard V. Solé, Tamás Vicsek, Stephen Wolfram.

Sites that revolutionized the Web

I compiled a list of the websites that have changed the way information is produced, handled, or distributed over the Internet. Many of these sites have something in common: they enable users (human or software) to judge the relevance of their content, to provide "interesting" information to others. This has been called distributed cognition or collective intelligence: like diligent ants, the small contributions of many people or sites lead to great achievements and sources of information. Google . The most effective search engine for several years now. It judges the relevance of a webpage (its PageRank) by the PageRank of webpages that link to it. Thus, if many webpages link to a certain site, this should be interesting. And even more if those webpages are interesting themselves. Google has become an empire of free web-based utilities (in some cases buying other companies): GMail . One of the most flexible free web-based mail providers , it gives users almost 3Gb of disk sp...
