[Fotosoc] Last CFP ~~ Models and Modeling Methodologies in Science and Engineering
by Summer MMMse'11 23 Apr '11

23 Apr '11

Dear Dawid Nowak: We would like invite you to contribute to The Summer International Symposium on Qualitative, Quantitative and Hybrid Models and Modeling Methodologies in Science and Engineering: MMMse 2011 (www.2011conferences.org/jmmmse/about.asp) to be held in Orlando, FL USA, on July 19th - July 22nd, 2011. The submission deadline for MMMse 2011 is *May 5th, 2011*. Deadlines for the following collocated (same venue and time) events or tracks can be found at www.iiisconferences.info/deadlines. * Academic Globalization: AG 2011 (2011conferences.org/agt) * Peer Reviewing: ISPR 2011 (2011conferences.org/isprt) * Collaborative Enterprises: CENT 2011 (2011conferences.org/centt) * Computing and Communication: CCCT 2011 (2011conferences.org/ccctjt) * Cybernetics and Information Technologies (2011conferences.org/citsat) ===Inter-disciplinary Communications=== With the purpose of fostering *Inter-disciplinary Communications* participants registered at any conference or symposia can attend sessions of any session of any of the collocated events. Registered participants will also receive a CD containing the proceedings of all collocated events, and will have a password to access any virtual session of the collocated events, so they can comment any paper presented at any of the collocated events. ==Virtual Participations and Sessions== Submissions for Face-to-Face or for Virtual Participation are both accepted. Both kinds of submissions will have the same reviewing process and the accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings. Pre-Conference and Post-conference Virtual sessions (via electronic forums) will be held for each session included in the conference program, so that sessions papers can be read before the conference, and authors presenting at the same session can interact during one week before and after the conference. Authors can also participate in peer-to-peer reviewing in virtual sessions. ===Two-Tier Reviewing=== Submissions will be reviewed in two-tier reviewing process: non-blind and double-blind reviewing. ===Best Papers=== A best paper will be selected for each session, and an award certificate will be delivered in the award ceremony to the respective author. The best 20% of the papers presented at the conference will also be published in the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics, and Informatics (All papers to be presented at the conference will be included in the conference proceedings) ===Invited Sessions Organizers=== Registration fees will be waived for EFFECTIVE invited session organizers. More details regarding the above issues can be found at iiisconferences.info/deadlines. ===Purpose==== To bring together modelers in science and engineering 1. to present qualitative, quantitative, or hybrid models and/or methods in Science and Engineering (authors are encouraged to present models related to the topics of the collocated symposia and conferences), and/or 2. to share their reflections regarding modeling practice and methodologies, and/or 3. to participate in informal conversational sessions (beside the usual sessions where they would present their accepted papers) with the objective of identifying a. synergic relationships among the different methodologies and ways of modeling in Science and Engineering; b. common grounds of modeling in different disciplines, or with different methods, so the identified commonalities would support inter-disciplinary communicational processes among modelers, in the different areas and through different methods, in Science and Engineering; c. similarities in different kinds of modeling which would support creative analogical thinking in this kind of thinking and practice.

[Fotosoc] CFP - Science 2 and Expansion of Science
by S2ES 2011 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Dear Dawid Nowak: We would like to invite you to S2ES 2011 (www.2011conferences.org/s2es/about.asp) that will be held in the context of The 15th World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics: WMSCI 2011 (www.2011conferences.org/wmsci) or to the following collocated events, to be held in Orlando, FL USA, on July 19th - July 22nd, 2011. The submission deadline for S2ES 2011 is *May 3rd, 2011*. Deadlines for the following collocated (same venue and time) events or tracks can be found at www.iiisconferences.info/deadlines. * Academic Globalization: AG 2011 (2011conferences.org/agt) * Peer Reviewing: ISPR 2011 (2011conferences.org/isprt) * Collaborative Enterprises: CENT 2011 (2011conferences.org/centt) * Models and Modeling Methodologies in Science and Engineering: MMMse 2011 (2011conferences.org/jmmmset) =====Brief Description===== As you know, the term Science 2 has been used with different but related meanings. It is usually related to Web 2.0-enabled scientific activities, specifically Web 2.0 [i], but it has also been related to the expansion of science by means of new concepts and theories (Second Order Cybernetics [ii], and the Systems Approach), or new mode of producing knowledge [iii]. More details at 2011conferences.org/s2es/about.asp The purpose of the Organizing Committee of the International Symposium on Science 2 and Expansion of Science (S2ES 2011) is to bring together researchers and designers from the three perspectives of the proposed *New Science* in order 1) to share their reflections regarding each of these three perspectives, 2) to analyze what is common among them, and 3) to identify the ways how they complement each other. Accordingly, the Organizing Committee is planning to include in the symposium program 1) sessions with formal presentations, and/or 2) informal conversational sessions, and/or 3) hybrid sessions, which will have formal presentations first and informal conversations later. ===Inter-disciplinary Communications=== With the purpose of fostering *Inter-disciplinary Communications* participants registered at any conference or symposia can attend sessions of any session of any of the collocated events. Registered participants will also receive a CD containing the proceedings of all collocated events, and will have a password to access any virtual session of the collocated events, so they can comment any paper presented at any of the collocated events. ==Virtual Participations and Sessions== Submissions for Face-to-Face or for Virtual Participation are both accepted.
