<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2">Many social, societal and organizational problems, in the information age, are interrelated and need to be solved jointly by means of multidisciplinary projects, interdisciplinary communications and/or trans&#8211;disciplinary concepts and methodologies&#046; </font></p> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2"> </font><p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2">Informatics, Cybernetics and Cyber&#8211;Technologies (ICCT) are, by definition and by nature, transversal to many disciplines and, as such, are special means for the multi&#8211;, inter&#8211;, and trans&#8211;disciplinary approaches required&#046; </font></p> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2"> </font><p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2">ICCT are helping in the solutions of an increasing social, societal and organizational problems, but they are also generating new kind of problems and raising unfamiliar questions&#046; The processes of answering these questions and finding possible solutions to these kinds of problems require as much as of scientific/engineering approaches, as of conceptual/reflexive studies&#046; </font></p> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2"> </font><p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2">Both, analogical and logical thinking are also required, in different complementary studies, as well as combined in the same one&#046; In this context logical thinking without the analogical one would be sterile, and analogical thinking without the logical one would be dangerous for being prone to hidden errors and mistakes&#046; </font></p> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2"> </font><p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2">In the context of this framework, the basic purpose of the Organizing Committee of SOIC 2010 is to a provide a forum for disciplinary and interdisciplinary communications, where researchers (in Social and Natural Sciences, as well as in Engineering), intellectuals, policy/decision makers and Consultants would share the results of their research, studies and thoughts, with regards to societies and private/public organizations in the context of the Information Age&#046; </font></p> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2"> </font><p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2">Accordingly, the Organizing and the Program Committees of SOIC 2010 invite researchers, academics, consultants and policy/decision makers to submit research papers as well as position papers based on intellectual reflection, conceptual studies or real life experience&#046; The content of the papers to be submitted may be oriented to the presentation of solutions, results and answers as well as to problems and reflexive questioning&#046; </font></p> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2"> </font><p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2"> <a href="http://www&#046;iiis2010&#046;org/imsci/Website/PapersAcceptance&#046;a… decisions related to submitted papers will be based on their respective content review and/or on the respective author’s CV&#046; Invited papers will not be reviewed and their acceptance decision will be based on the topic and the respective author’s CV&#046;</a> </font></p> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2"> </font><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans&#8211;serif" size="2">The suggested areas are based on the relationships between society/organizations and Informatics, in one hand, and between society/organizations and cybernetics/cyber&#8211;technologies, by the other&#046;</font>
