Dear Christian,

I received your mess today.
I would be interested, in principle.
The web-sites you gave, do not open.
The deadline is too short to submit a well prepared abstract by tomorrow.
I will try to submit something, however, I do not think it could be a final version.
I fwd-ed it to other colleagues.

Regards,
Gyuri Darvas

Dear colleagues,

The "International Nonlinear Sciences Conference

Research and Applications in the Life Sciences 2003" will take place

on February 7th-9th, 2003 in Vienna (keynote speakers: Hermann Haken, Jack

Cohen, Tönu Puu).

For details on the conference see http://insc2003.societyforchaostheory.org/

There will be a session on "Foundations of Self-Organisation" at the conference (see the abstract that Wolfgang Hofkirchner and I submitted below). If someone wants to participate in it, please send me an abstract of a contribution per e-mail

until Friday, October 18th containing: title, author, affiliation (address), abstract (250 word limit), contact information, four keywords.

I will submit the abstracts I receive altogether.

Details on the Session:

Title: Foundations of Self-Organisation

Description: Since the sixties and the seventies, the disciplines of science

have been increasingly focussing on self-organisation and complexity

studies. Although interdisciplinarity is one of the main characteristics of

self-organisation theory, the approaches are rather scattered and a unified

theory of self-organisation remains to be established. The aim of this

session is to explore foundations of such a yet-to-be-developed unification.

Topics to be covered in this session include:

*the exploration of the philosophical relationship of self-organisation

theory and classical, modern and postmodern philosophy

*the relationship of information and self-organisation

*differences and similarities between physical, biological and social

self-organisation
