2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the American Society for Cybernetics, which was incorporated in Washington DC on the 6th of August 1964.<\/p>\n

Our conference this year will be a major celebration. The theme is \u201cLiving in Cybernetics\u201d<\/a>. The main event (4 to 8 August inclusive) will celebrate ASC cybernetics in the present<\/a> through paper presentations themed using Stuart Umpleby\u2019s \u201cSeveral Traditions of cybernetics\u201d<\/a> (4 and 5 August), ASC cybernetics in the past<\/a> through addresses from many past presidents and other long term members (August 6) developing our timeline, and ASC cybernetics in the future<\/a> through workshops developing views of how cybernetics and education may come together to help make a better world (August 7 and 8).<\/p>\n

In addition, as has been our recent practice, we will hold a pre-conference meeting<\/a> on 3 August; and a post-conference meeting<\/a> (9 August). Conferees may attend these events without charge.<\/p>\n

We will develop a general co-ordinating schedule<\/a> which will be under constant development and may be consulted at any time. It will not take its final form until after the conference has closed.<\/p>\n
