Contemporary Cybernetics

Abstract

Although there appears to be a never ending number of organisations concerned at both national and international levels with systems and cybernetics there can only be one institute that has been set up to bring the East and the West together to deal with international issues through the application of system science. The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) is a non‐governmental research institute located in Austria, with the task of bringing together scientists from East and West to develop practical options to deal with issues of international importance. Details of the background of the Institute and its activities and policies are included in the Technical Reports section of this journal.
