This conference will focus on both the most recent achievements of the 
theoretical debate on Complexity Theory and Systemics, and the uses of 
these theories in specific, practical domains.
More than welcome are proposals devoted to Information and Communication 
technologies, as well as Environment issues; though, besides this, the 
conference is open to researches on every other domain, especially with 
disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives (sociology, management, 
engineering, biology, economics, mathematics, statistics, etc.).
The aim of WCSA is to create networks among students and scholars, that 
deal with systemic and complexity, either as a study object or as 
epistemic instruments.
The official language of the conference is English, and the conference 
is divided into four panels, two panels per day, with each panel lasting 
about 3 hours.
Panel speakers are limited to 10 minutes for their presentations and 10 
minutes for a roundtable debate of their presentations with the 
chairperson and the public.

The conference is divided into four panels:

1. Systemic Theories and Paradigms
2. Digital reality and social complexity: disorder and order selections 
in a connected world.
3. Systemic Environments and Natural Ones Between Continuity and Difference
4. Frontiers of the Systemic Approach
