Welcome also to our partners and collaborators from INCOSE, MITRE, ISEE Systems, Systems Journal, Argonne National Laboratory, IFSR, Systems Dynamics Society, Bertalanffy Centre for the Study of Systems Science, and the College of Exploration. This year’s conference will explore foundational discoveries about the nature of complex systems. These insights are now arising from research in a spectrum of systems disciplines, delivering new understandings in areas such as biology, complexity, politics, ethics, aesthetics, business studies, engineering and general systems theory. We will also look to the future, anticipating and planning for how these insights could drive convergence across the spectrum of systems traditions. Such a convergence has the potential to: • enhance our capability for multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary working; • advance the perspectives, insights and methods of the systemologists and others who will help us address the social and personal challenges of globalization, the Anthropocene and the Fourth Industrial Revolution; and • bring new opportunities to enhance the potential and wellbeing of individuals and communities. The complexity of the systems we undertake to establish or curate is increasing without limit, and globally systems are rapidly becoming more interconnected and interdependent. This radically increases the risks of instability, insecurity, and critical failures for the projects we undertake and the communities that they aim to serve. However, we are also seeing rapid advances in the systems disciplines, and these insights may be pivotal for generating insight, opportunity and coherence as we co-create a resilient and evolvable society. ISSS2018 offers the opportunity for a wide diversity of systemologists and others to explore common interests and challenges, learn from each other, align and consolidate progress, and gather inspiration, collaborators and momentum for future work in the systems sciences. To facilitate this the morning programme is organized into themes, with Monday providing an overview of the current systems landscape from the perspective of the ISSS, industry and academia, Tuesday on systems principles in Engineering and Practice, Wednesday on systems principles in Society and Culture, Thursday on systems principles in Science and Business, and Friday on building a prioritised research agenda and forming teams for future research in the systems sciences. A special feature of the program design is that, in response to member requests, we have reserved the last plenary slots of Monday and Wednesday morning to provide opportunities for member networking. The afternoon programme is devoted to parallel tracks of SIG sessions and workshops. In response to member requests we have increased the number of workshops available.. One of these is a special workshop event to collect inputs from attendees for a systems science research programme, collecting inputs on challenges, urgent needs, and potential collaborators, leading up to the definition of a research agenda and formation of research teams on Friday morning. This special workshop will be repeated every day, and hopefully this will give everyone a chance to engage with it. Please come along and give your inputs 3 to this important initiative. A related event will take place on Monday afternoon, when there will be a facilitated conversation around the needs and challenges for “Systems Engineering of the Future”. We hope that you will enjoy the conference and the surroundings, and have a rich and fruitful experience at ISSS2018.

Rajat Panwar, Robert Kozak and Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Entwicklung eines Handlungs- Eric Hansen, For- ests, Business and modells zur Adressierung und Lösung komplexer gesellschaftlicher Sustainability, Fragestellungen – Der sogenannten bösartigen Probleme. 2015, S.11 Da es sich um eine wissenschaftliche Arbeit aus dem Kernbereich der Designdisziplin handelt, gibt das erste Kapitel einen Einblick in die Defi nition des der Arbeit zugrunde liegenden Designbegriffs, um so eine disziplinäre Verortung der Argumentation gewährleisten zu können. Es folgt eine Einführung in den Charakter bösartiger Probleme und die Erläuterung der Kernproblematik im Umgang mit selbigen. Anschließend werden die Kompetenzen der DesignerInnen beleuchtet, dabei vor allem die für die Adressierung relevanten. Da bösartige Probleme in ihrer Komplexität Teilbereiche ver- schiedener Disziplinen ansprechen und die Qualitäten der DesignerInnen allein nicht alle Anforderungen der Adressierung bedienen können, ergibt sich die Notwendigkeit einer Kooperation mit den Systemwissenschaften. Entsprechend der Darstellung der Qualitäten der Designer- Innen, werden daher auch die für die Adressierung entscheidenden Kompetenzen der Systemwissenschaften vorgestellt. Auf jene Qualifi kationen aufbauend, schließt sich eine schrittweise Beschreibung der im Rahmen der Arbeit erarbeiteten

  • PSYCHOSYNTHESIS: Systems Psychology
    nothing else! You know very well that whatever came out from our sea, even if for an inch, it would die. What proof do you have of these other lives and seas?” And many other fish echoed him. To an expert in systems, the universe appears to be an integrated hierarchy of causes and effects in which each upper level has a greater number of possibilities and a greater number of opportunities compared to the lower level and, therefore, greater potential for choice and self- determination. In addition, the upper level is more refi- ned. At each system, including humans, it is a requisite of evolution to adapt to the principles and hierarchies of the upper-systems in which the system is inserted, to which it belongs and from which it depends. R.Harrison, PSYCHOSYNTHESIS: a scholar in the field of organization, points out that one of the key elements of organization in living organisms SYSTEMS PSYCHOLOGY is their hierarchical nature. Thus the cells combine to form tissues, the tissues to form organs, etc. It was clear Every time science looks into an aspect of life on the to him that there are different levels of complexity and planet, it discovers it is a component of a whole in which that at each level of complexity the observed phenome- each part is related to the others. Every structure, every non shows properties that do not exist at the lower level. being is united with the planetary life and makes with it In the early 1920s, one of the exponents of this line of a whole.

    THE BIOCYBERNETIC APPROACH AS A BASIS FOR PLANNING AND GOVERNANCE Dipl. Geol. Gabriele Harrer Senior Systems Expert Management cybernetics & Bionics Malik Management Zentrum St.Gallen AG Geltenwilenstrasse 18 CH – 9001 St.Gallen www.malik-mzsg.ch E-Mail: [email protected] Keywords: Bio cybernetics, Complexity, Interdependency, Interconnected Thinking, Ecopolicy, Functioning Systems, Fuzzy Logic, Governance, Management, Pattern, Planning Tools, Resilience, Systems, Self Regulation, Self Organization, Sensitivity Model Prof. Vester, System Tools, Viability The last decades, with societies and economies mostly focussing on quantitative growth and at the same time wasting natural resources with linear production pro- cesses, are now culminating in a critical situation for our social, ecological and eco- nomical systems. Regardless that general consciousness about the interdependencies in our intercon- nected global world, caused mainly by the world wide web and effects of globaliza- tion, and also the knowledge about ecological contexts have grown, the use of this knowledge in our reality - in politics, governance, economy, education - is still miss- ing. It seems that something constrains fundamentally the necessary change in our modes of governance and planning. Until now, generations of scientists, politicians, organizations and individuals have been dealing with interdisciplinary questions, with the nature of complex systems, with models of complex problems and their possible solution – an actual example is climate research and the huge international climate conferences. But we have to recognize, if we want to see it or not, that real systemic and integrated solutions in order to govern our society towards resilient technical, economical and social developments are despite this big efforts not consequently designed or imple- mented.

  • Towards a New Foundation for Systems Practice: Grounding Multi-Method Systemic Interventions
    UNIVERSITY OF HULL Towards a New Foundation for Systems Practice: Grounding Multi-Method Systemic Interventions being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of PhD in the University of Hull by Manuel Pretel-Wilson (BBus, BA, MA, MS) May 15, 2017 “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes” Marcel Proust In Memory of Àngel Ros Bosch (1961-2001) For developing my capacity to question And constantly learn about reality I was truly honoured Thank you! Acknowledgements First, I want to thank Gerald Midgley for giving me the opportunity to deliver a seminar at the Centre of Systems Studies in HUBS. I never expected that a random email after having read his great book, Systemic Intervention: Philosophy, Methodology, and Practice (2000), would take me to England, and even less to start a PhD in Systems Science. I’m also grateful because he encouraged me to write a paper that I presented at the ISSS 2014 Conference, in Washington DC, on what I thought at the time was General System Theory (GST) but turned out to be Systems Philosophy, and especially for suggesting me, at a time when I nearly gave up the whole endeavour, a possible route to continue my thesis that turned out to be the right one after all. Indeed, Gerald triggered the crucial turning point that made this PhD worthwhile. Thanks for your precious encouragement; otherwise this thesis would have never seen the light. My thanks go to Angela Espinosa and Joan Walker for having introduced me to the practice of systemic interventions, without which I would never have witnessed the powerful potential of systems methodologies.

The book's eight chapters are organized into three parts: "Adlerian Theory and Process"; "Therapeutic Interventions"; and "Special Issues in Marital Therapy." Chapter 1, Adlerian Marital Therapy: History, Theory and Process (William G. Nicoll) summarizes Adlerian theory on couples therapy. Chapter 2, The Initial Interview (E. Clair Hawes and Roy N. Kern) acquaints the reader with how the theory may be operationalized into practical procedures for conducting the first session with the couple. Chapter 3, Lifestyle of a Relationship (Maxine Ijams) provides the therapist with a process analysis and knowledge base of how to conduct the sessions to-follow as it relates to lifestyle analysis and toxic relationship issues. Chapter 4, Therapeutic Interventions in the Marital Relationship (E. Clair Hawes) provides communication and problem solving skills interventions. Chapter 5, Relationship Enbancement Programs (G. Hugh Allred and Bernard Paduska) assists the therapist to create strategies to help couples deal with toxic issues that evolve during lifestyle analysis and future therapy sessions.
