University of
Vienna
organized by the
Austrian Society for Cybernetic Studies
in cooperation
with
Department of Medical Cybernetics and Artificial Intelligence,
Center for Brain Research, Medical University of Vienna
and
International Federation for Systems Research
The international support of the European Meetings on Cybernetics
and Systems Research held in Austria in 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978,
1980, 1982, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000,
2002, 2004 and 2006 (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 2008 to keep pace with continued rapid
developments in related fields.

Acceptance of contributions will be determined on the basis of
Draft Final Papers. Each paper must explain clearly
- what problem it is trying to address,
- what has been tried before and why it isn't good enough,
- WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WHY IT IS BETTER,
- some proof that your method is sound (or reference to it),
- how it will help others/apply to other problems,
- some results/proof it works.
Draft Final Papers must not exceed 6 pages (10-point, double
column, style sheets are available), in
English. They have to contain the final text to be submitted,
including graphs and pictures.
They must carry the title, author(s) name(s), and affiliation
(incl. e-mail address) in this order, and must
include an abstract.
Please specify clearly the symposium you would like to submit your
paper to. Each scientist shall submit only one paper.
Authors should submit their manuscripts in electronic form by
email addressed to
Please send your paper as attachment in .PDF format only! Please
use the following subject header for your email:
"EM08_<letter of the Symposium you want to submit your paper to>_<Name of
corresponding author>",
e.g. "EM08_A_Meyer".
This should also be
the filename of the manuscript. Thank you.
November 4, 2007
Submissions received after the deadline cannot be considered.
