Welcome
to MCS'2009
The International Workshop on
Meta-Synthesis and Complex Systems is a series of workshops to facilitate the
exchanges between scholars in the field of systems science and complex
problem solving. After successful MCS'2001(Beijing),
MCS'2002
(Shanghai, together with KSS'2002), MCS'2003
(Guangzhou, together with KSS'2003), MCS'2004
(Beijing), MCS'2005
(Kobe, one workshop of IFSR'2005), MCS'2006
(Beijing, together with KSS'2006) and MCS'2007
(Beijing, one workshop of ICCS'2007), MCS'2008
(Singapore, a special track at IEEE SMC’2008), MCS serial workshops gain so
much attention worldwide.
MCS’2009 will be continuously held to
provide opportunities for those researchers who are interested in systems
sciences, complex problem solving and advanced modeling, meta-synthesis,
artificial life, knowledge-oriented technology and integration, decision
sciences and supporting technologies, etc. with the to facilitate
interdisciplinary studies by joining the 20th International Conference on
Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM’2009)
in Chengdu/Jiuzhaigou in June of 2009.
In consideration of the
topics, scopes, paper quality improvement, and increasing participants,
especially MCS appeals more young people, the adoption of MCS as one part of
MCDM’2009 will bring new views or new problems about system modeling and
complex problem solving especially during the unstructured social problem
solving to MCDM. Also MCS workshop will be benefited from much wider
community and exchanges. We hope to see a growing community to distribute new
ideas and latest research results on effective concepts, methodologies and
advanced tools to tackle those wicked problems and explore next-generation
tools for complex system modeling and human decision making. Joining MCDM’2009 will help MCS workshop to
intensify the research on MCDM practically applied into the meta-synthesis
and complex problem solving studies, such as exploring new or implementing
available consensus technologies into meta-synthetic system enabled by Web
2.0 technologies.
