TWO INTERESTING SESSIONS at the
SIXTEENTH EUROPEAN MEETING ON CYBERNETICS AND SYSTEMS RESEARCH (EMCSR 2002) April 2 - 5, 2002 University of Vienna, Austria
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Call for Papers
SYSTEMIC ASPECTS OF COMPONENT-BASED SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT (SESSION D)
Chairpersons: Gerhard Chroust and Friedrich Stallinger Kepler University Linz, Austria
Component-based System Development, i.e. the composition of systems from existing or newly developed components is hailed as one of the panaceas for problems inherent to software and system development. It promises higher quality, lower cost and shorter development time. While purely technical aspects seem to be largely understood, many questions of a wider socio-technical-economic context are still open and need an answer. These answers have to consider the whole, complex system development environment, especially the human factors, and therefore need an interdisciplinary approach.
We encourage submissions of papers discussing systemic, cultural and organizational aspects of component-based system and software development.

SYMPOSIUM ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF INFORMATION SCIENCE (FIS) Bela A. Banathy, Seabrook Institute, USA Guenther Ossimitz, University of Klagenfurt, Austria
Papers are being invited for a symposium on the Foundations of Information Science (FIS). This session will be a continuation of a line of work that began in 1994 with the first FIS conference in Madrid (Spain), and was extended through a series of related meetings. Prospective authors are encouraged to review the abstracts and papers of FIS 94, FIS 96, the subsequent FIS virtual conferences, as well as the FIS sessions conducted at the ISSS Annual Meetings in 1999, 2000, and 2001 (summarized on the FIS website at http://fis.iguw.tuwien.ac.at).
Papers that extend any of the previous work are welcome. Work focusing on the relationship between the epistemological and ontological aspects of information are of great interest. Authors are particularly encouraged to address issues related to the ontogeny of information.
