Wiener conference

Dear Friends,

As many of you know, 2014 is the year of 120th anniversary of the birth of Norbert Wiener, father of cybernetics, and 50th anniversary of his death (and 100th anniversary of his first interval-related paper). To commemorate this anniversary, IEEE, the world's largest engineering society, organizes a conference "Driving Technology's Future: Norbert Wiener in the 21st Century", in Boston, Massachusetts, on June 24-26, 2013; see http://21stcenturywiener.org/ for the details about the conference.

Since Wiener's work encompassed many aspects of science, technology, and medical applications, this conference may be of interest to many people on this list.

Submissions are organized in two stages: first, the authors submit a short abstract by January 31, 2014. Authors of submitted abstracts will received useful referees' feedback, and by using this feedback, authors should submit full papers by March 1, 2014.

Detailed instructions for submitting abstracts and full papers are given on the conference website, see http://21stcenturywiener.org/instructions-to-authors-and-students/
