   A session organised by the WOSC- Norbert Wiener Institute of Systems and Cybernetics :

   Research into the millennium

   Publishing research into the millennium provides great challenges. A panel of speakers/editors/referees will consider some of the problems presented by Journal and Internet Publishing.

   A "question and answer" session will also be held to enable researchers and those who aim to improve the means of communicating research and developments to have the opportunity to interact. (Kybernetes will be represented by its Editor and Internet Editor.)

   An award for the best contribution by a cybernetician/systemist presented at the congress.

   Kybernetes Research Award: Outstanding Congress Contribution ­ WOSC 11th Congress 1999. An innovative award which challenges contributors to the Congress, and in particular young scientists, who are currently undertaking leading-edge research in cybernetics and systems.
