organized by the
Austrian Society for Cybernetic Studies
in cooperation with the
Institute of Medical Cybernetics and Artificial Intelligence,
Center for Brain Research, Medical University of Vienna
and

The international support of the European Meetings on Cybernetics
and Systems Research held in Austria in 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978,

2002 and 2004 (when 500 scientists from more than 40 countries
from all continents, except the Antarctica, met to present, hear
and discuss 137 papers) encouraged the Council of the Austrian
Society for Cybernetic Studies (OSGK) to organize a similar
meeting in 2006 to keep pace with continued rapid developments in
related fields.
