>
>  ESSE is  under construction and will
> be  structured in about 200 items/entries . Among the key items.
> system complexity, differentiation, environment, communication,self
> organization, self reference, structural coupling,constructivism and
> items referred to  key scholars such as  Luhmann, von
> Foerster,von Glasersfeld etc. Contributors  are fee to submit items
> they consider  pivotal to understand System Sciences. deadline to
> submit the  fully written proposed  item(s) is September 
> 1st 2010 
> Each entry/item would be of about 2500 words. You can choose one or more
> entries (up to 5 per author) among those listed below and /or choose some
> from the list and propose other ( total 5 entries, anyway).
> Each item ,concerning an abstract concept such as  "system
> " or " complexity" should be structured  
> according to the following pattern :
>  a)   definition(s) of the  item from the perspective
> of the social system theory
> b)etimology
> c)translations of the term in the other key languages
> d)  accurate explanation
> f)  very key references / essential bibliography
> while  items concerning authors , such as Luhmann or Pask have to be
> structured as follows:
> a) short bio
> b) key concepts
> c) key works they authored and brief summaries of their contents 
> d) brief explanation of the author's contribution to system 
> theory
> e) key references about the author
