The 14th World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics: WMSCI 2010, jointly with The 16th International Conference on Information Systems Analysis and Synthesis: ISAS 2010
29 June - 2 July, Orlando, Florida, USA
Through WMSCI conferences, we are trying to relate the analytic thinking, required in focused conference´s sessions, with the synthetic thinking, required for analogies generation, which calls a for multi-focus domain and divergent thinking. We are trying to promote synergic relationships between analytically and synthetically oriented minds, as it is found between left and right brain hemispheres, by means of the corpus callosum. Then, WMSCI 2010 might be perceived as a research corpus callosum, trying to bridge analytical with synthetically oriented efforts, convergent with divergent thinking, and focused specialists with non-focused or multi-focused generalistsWMSCI 2010 is an international forum for scientists and engineers, researchers and consultants, theoreticians and practitioners in the fields of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics. The forum focuses into specific disciplinary research, and also in multi, inter, and trans-disciplinary studies and projects. One of its aims is to relate disciplines, fostering analogical thinking and, hence, producing input to the logical thinking.

AGI North Open Meeting
15 May, Settle, North Yorkshire, UK
This fieldtrip will provide an opportunity to learn how to collect and edit geographic data using the ‘open source’ mapping tools of OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap is sometimes described as the “Wikipedia of maps” because it enables anybody to map anything. The tools and resulting geodata are freely available to create maps or to download data for integration and analysis. It provides a great tool for special interest groups to map the things that are of specific interest to them and to freely share that data.
