The event was sponsored by antÉ – Institute for Research in Anticipatory Systems and the Institute for Interactive Arts and Engineering. Among the topics presented: Observation and Application of Anticipatory Behaviors, Serious Gaming in International Relations, Surfing Waves of Change and Technology. See flyer for more details.


IJGS Best Paper Award for “Anticipation and Dynamics”

Mihai Nadin won the 2010 International Journal of General Systems (IJGS) “Best Paper Award” for his work, “Anticipation and Dynamics.” IJGS is a cross-disciplinary periodical devoted primarily to the publication of original research contributions to systems science, basic as well as applied. The principal aim of the journal is to promote original systems ideas (concepts, principles, methods, insightful theoretical or experimental results, etc.) that transcend the boundaries between traditional academic disciplines. For the first time in the periodical’s history, an entire thematic issue was published. Readers, reviewers, and editors alike praised Nadin’s article. IJGS Editor-in-Chief George Klir wrote, “The purpose of publishing each of these thematic issues is not only to stimulate interest in the covered area, but also to convey a message that this area is central to the aims of the journal, thus encouraging submission of papers contributing to it.”
