----------- CALL FOR PAPERS ------------

7th International PhD Workshop, Young Generation Viewpoint
Interplay of societal and technical decision-making
25.-30.9.2006
http://as.utia.cz/phd2006

The principle aim of the workshop is to gather young researchers in 
cybernetics with various backgrounds together in order to exchange knowledge 
and find inspiration for further research. This year, the scope of the 
workshop is topically biased towards recent trends in cybernetics, such as 
support for high-level decision-making, human-machine interface, holonic and 
agent control and Bayesian modelling. These technologies are intensively 
studied under the ESF project Towards Electronic Democracy (TED). Therefore, 
the workshop will have a special session on electronic democracy.

Dates & Venue:
The workshop will be held in the Czech Republic, chateau Hruba Skala (about 
100km north of Prague) on 25th-30th September. Cost of local transportation, 
food and other local expenses is included in the fee which is 100euro. The 
accommodation will be payed independently, since the chateau offers two 
options: luxury and tourism, see http://as.utia.cz/phd2006/venue for further 
details. Please indicate your preference during the submission process.

Who should attend:
Phd students and young researchers under 35 years of age working in the field 
of cybernetics with open mind to explore wider context of their research. 
This year, we especially encourage researchers with background in cybernetics 
for social science to join the event and enrich the discussion.

Submission of papers:
Prospective authors are invited to submit two-page long extended abstract no 
longer than 31 May 2006. Notification of acceptance will be send by the 
organizers before 19 June 2006. Submission of the papers will be handled 
electronically via the workshop web-page:
