[ecrea] CFP - Science 2.0 and Expansion of Science

Fri Apr 09 06:20:32 GMT 2010


>As you know, the term Science 2.0 has been used with different but 
>related meanings. It is usually related to Web 2.0-enabled 
>scientific activities, specifically Web 2.0[1], but it has also been 
>related to the expansion of science by means of new concepts and 
>theories (Second Order Cybernetics[2], and the Systems Approach), or 
>new mode of producing knowledge[3].
>
>The purpose of the Organizing Committee of the International 
>Symposium on Science 2.0 and Expansion of Science (S2ES 2010) 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.
>
>S2ES 2010 (www.sysconfer.org/s2es) will be held in the context of 
>The World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics, and 
>Informatics: WMSCI 2010 (www.sysconfer.org/wmsci) in Orlando, 
>Florida, USA on June 29th-July 2nd, 2010.
>
>Papers/Abstracts Submissions and Invited Sessions Proposals: April 16th, 2010
>Authors Notifications: May 5th, 2010
>Camera-ready, full papers: May 26th, 2010
>
>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.
>
>All Submitted papers/abstracts will go through three reviewing 
>processes: (1) double-blind (at least three reviewers), (2) 
>non-blind, and (3) participative peer reviews. These three kinds of 
>review will support the selection process of those papers/abstracts 
>that will be accepted for their presentation at the conference, as 
>well as those to be selected for their publication in JSCI Journal.
>
>Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have 
>access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the 
>reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers/abstracts, 
>so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. 
>Non-registered authors will not have access to the reviews of their 
>respective submissions.
>
>Registration fees of an effective invited session organizer will be 
>waived according to the policy described in the web page  (click on 
>'Invited Session', then on 'Benefits for the Organizers of Invited 
>Sessions'), where you can get information about the ten benefits for 
>an invited session organizer. For Invited Sessions Proposals, please 
>visit the conference web site, or directly to 
>www.sysconfer.org/s2es/organizer.asp
>
>Authors of the best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the 
>conference (included those virtually presented) will be invited to 
>adapt their papers for their publication in the Journal of 
>Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics.

>Best regards,
