Book Description
This volume provides summaries of plenary sessions at the July 2000 World Congress of the Systems Sciences--held in conjunction with the 44th annual meeting of the International Society for the Systems Sciences (ISSS). The 31 presentations are divided into eight sections: theories for complex systems; emerging foci on systems research and practice; human systems in the 21st century; the challenge of sustainability; the art and science of forecasting in the age of global warming; the Y2K "problem"; the future of systems science; and presidential addresses (from the past, present, and incoming presidents of ISSS). Topics include the history of sociocybernetics, RC51, of the International Sociological Association; systems practice in the UK's Open University; on misdirected systems; the complexity of performance and the instruments of mastery; energy, hierarchy, and money; why the century date change occurred so smoothly; and systems thinking for the 21st century. c.
