ANNOUNCE Deadlines for Enterprises as Systems Conference

[""mkhettinger"" <mkhettinger@]

Posted by ""mkhettinger"" <mkhettinger@mathet.com>

In response to requests, we have extended the deadline for paper submissions to
the ""International Conference on Enterprises *as* Systems:
Theory and Theory in Action"". The new deadline is September 1st. Further
conference information may be found at www.enterprisesystemtheory.net.

As a reminder, there are three major themes:
1. enterprises as systems in the (general) systems-theoretic sense (systemics
and
the systems family of disciplines - including System Dynamics)
2. the formal and/or empirical representation of such systems for description,
explanation, simulation and prediction (formal / empirical theory)
3. the application of theory in analysis / design, architecture / engineering
and
operation of (inter-, intra-) enterprise systems and enterprises *as* systems

The term 'enterprise' refers to the whole: organization (people) + technology.

Papers may be grounded in research and / or practice. Enterprise subsystems and
supersystems (e.g. emergency management, grids, etc.) may be considered.
Strategy, tactics, and operations may be addressed.

This international conference aims to:
- bring together individuals from all systems-related disciplines and
organizations for knowledge exchange in general and specifically as it applies
to
enterprises *as* systems
- foster a multidisciplinary approach to the thee themes listed above
- enable continued advancement in each discipline through potential application
and incorporation of knowledge gained at the conference to each discipline
- begin to form an enterprise (as system) systems theory resulting from the
""mergence"" of concepts and theories from systems-related disciplines, as well as
other disciplines such as economics, law, semantics, ontology, etc., which may
be
used as a theoretical grounding for an enterprise systems engineering
discipline.

Questions may be addressed to: questions [at] enterprisesystemtheory [dot] net.
