View this email in your browser Dear James Martin Following the successful development and intensification of our exchange with influential associations in the fields of Systems Engineering and Information, Product & Service Design (IIID / designaustria) in 2017, we are happy to announce some highlights of 2018 and the forthcoming months. Thanks to David Rousseau, valued member of the BCSSS Scientific Council, leader of the BCSSS Research Group Systems Science and Philosophy and current President of the International Society for the Systems Sciences 2018/2019, we are able to share a variety of pleasent news: In January 2018 David Rousseau participated in this year’s "International Council on Systems Engineering International Workshops" (INCOSE IW18). Together with David Long (INCOSE past President), Dr. Michael Watson (Director of the NASA Systems Engineering Research Consortium) and Donna Rhodes (Director of the MIT Systems Engineering Advancement Research Initiative) Rousseau gave an overview session on Model-Based Systems Enginering (MBSE), he invited to two workshops and he held a plenary lecture on “Scientific Systems Principles, A Culture Change for Most Systems Engineers”. INCOSE IW18 marked the first of some auspicious news, in particular regarding the positive development and increasing connection to leading experts from the field of Systems Engineering. The next meeting is going to take place in Oregon, USA, in March 2018: The 2018 NSF Design Circle Workshop: Designing and Developing Global Engineering Systems. Organized by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in co-operation with the Oregon State University the goal of this workshop is bring together educators and researchers in the fields of Engineering Design and Systems Engineering to use the state-of-the-art in those fields with the objective of addressing global, real-world challenges that impact people, our planet, and the economy. David Rousseau is also invited to attend. In July 2018 we are lookig forward to two further events, the BCSSS is going to join represented by David Rousseau: The INCOSE International Symposium (IS 2018) in Washington, D.C., USA, on "Delivering Systems in the Age of Globalization" and the ISSS2018 in Corvallis, Oregon, USA, themed “Innovation and Optimization in Nature and Design”. The European highlight in autumn of the year will be the 10th Congress of the European Union for Systemics, UES 2018 in Brussels in October 2018 in co-operation with the European Meetings on Cybernetics and Systems Research (emcsr avantgarde). The scope of this conference will widen our view of possible futures from an European perspective with the key question "A systemic vision of the crises. From optimization to change strategy?". Besides his high commitment during symposia and conferences, together with his BCSSS Research Group colleagues BCSSS Scientific Council member Dr. Jennifer Wilby, Julie Billingham and BCSSS Managing Director Stefan Blachfellner, David Rousseau is going to publish the next forthcoming volume of the Springer book series "Translational Systems Sciences" with the title "General Systemology. Transdisciplinarity for Discovery, Insight, and Innovation" in 2018. Thanks to Rousseau's presence this book already attracted attention before its date of publication.   Dear friends and colleagues, the BCSSS team wishes you all the best for 2018. We are looking forward to see you soon.   Keep up to date with our BCSSS Research Groups! Have a look at the latest Results, Meetings and Publications! Join the Lectures! Emergent Systems, Information and Society   Systems Science and Philosophy Systems Science and Pattern Literacy Socio-ecological Systems and Design Systems Medicine and Healthcare Systems Let's stay in touch!
