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 and 2000 (when 500 scientists
from more than 40 countries from all continents, except the
Antarctica, met to present, hear and discuss 134 papers) encouraged the Council
of the Austrian Society for Cybernetic Studies (ÖSGK) to organize a similar
meeting in 2002 to keep pace with continued rapid developments in related
fields.

Submission Guidelines

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 10 single-spaced A4 pages (maximum
43 lines, max. line length 160 mm, 12 point), in English. They have to
contain the final text to be submitted, including graphs and pictures.
However, these need not be of reproducible quality.

They must carry the title, author(s) name(s), and affiliation (incl.
e-mail address, if possible) in this order, and must include an
abstract.

Please specify the symposium in which you would like to present your
paper. Each scientist shall submit only one paper. Please send four
hard copies of the Draft Final Paper to the Conference Secretariat (not to
symposia chairpersons!) Electronic or fax submissions cannot be
accepted.


Deadline for submission

                           October 19, 2001

Submissions received after the deadline cannot be considered.


Notification of Acceptance/Rejection

conference secretariat at the same time with the instructions for the
preparation of the final paper, which will also be available via ftp and

Final Papers

The final paper will be limited to a maximum of 6 pages (10-point,
double column). Camera-ready copies of the final paper will
be due at the conference secretariat by January 18, 2002. Acceptance
of the final paper will be based on compliance with the reviewers'
comments.


Presentation

It is understood that each accepted paper is presented personally at
the Meeting by one of its authors.
