Sonoma 2006: The 50th Annual Meeting of the International Society for the Systems Sciences
The 50th anniversary conference of the International Society for the Systems Sciences offers an opportunity to celebrate a half-century of theory and practice in the broadly defined field of systems, honoring the vision of the founders (Ludwig von Bertalanffy, Kenneth Boulding, Ralph Gerard, James Grier Miller, and Anatol Rapoport) and recognizing the contributions of leading systems thinkers. It is also a time to reflect upon what we have learned, and to collaboratively envision future directions. Under the general theme of Complexity, Democracy and Sustainability, the conference will address such questions as: * What can the sciences of complexity teach us about social justice and sustainability? * What is the nature of the relationship between information and consciousness? * How do we manage information in a way that fosters effective decision-making processes? * How do we nurture organizational structures that serve human needs while also protecting our resources for future generations? The purpose of the Sonoma 2006 conference is to foster communication and collaboration between systems thinkers from these various traditions.
