All Submitted papers will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three

accepted for their presentation at the conference, as well as those to
be selected for their publication in JSCI Journal. Details are given in
the conference web site.

The registration fee of effective invited session organizers will be
waived and they will receive at the registration desk, for free, 1) a
package of 4 DVDs and one CD containing the 6-hour tutorial
"Fundamentals and History of Cybernetics: Development of the Theory of
Complex Adaptive Systems" and 2) a second 4-DVDs/1-CD package 6-hours
tutorial titled "Cybernetic Management". The market price of each of
these packages is US $ 295. Twelve more benefits for invited session

For submissions or Invited Sessions Proposals, please go to the web
site: http://www.socioinfocyber.org/pista2008/organizer.asp

Authors of the best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the conference
will be invited to adapt their papers for their publication in the
Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics.

Each session to be included in the conference program will have
corresponding electronic pre-conference and post-conference sessions for
15 days each. In the electronic pre-conference sessions authors will
have access to the papers to be presented at their session and to an
associated electronic forum, so they can be better prepared for their
conference face-to-face session. Similarly, electronic post-conference
sessions will complement and support a follow-up of the respective
conference sessions, via an electronic forum and the possibility of
evaluating papers presented at the associated session. These evaluations
will also support the selection process for the papers to be published
in JSCI journal.
