Kybernetes Editorial Objectives

Editor: Professor B.H. Rudall

Kybernetes aims to endow cybernetics and general systems with an authoritative voice of its own and to establish a competent international forum for the exchange of knowledge and information. One of the primary objectives of the journal is to weed out pseudo-cybernetic claims and to base cybernetics on sound scientific foundations; therefore, highly speculative articles that lie on the fringe of cybernetics and general systems will not be published.

Kybernetes is concerned with the interdisciplinary study of cybernetics and systems in the widest sense. Among the broad range of topics covered are:

•     artificial intelligence;

•     automation;

•     cybernetic modelling;

•     computer simulation;

•     biocybernetics:

•     economic and social systems;

•     nature and validation of general systems;

•     ecosystems;

•     adaptive systems;

•     philosophy of cybernetics;

•     the interrelations between cybernetics and other sciences.

The journal contains original papers, research notes, book reviews, news of conferences and societies, and letters to the editor.

Kybernetes is published by MCB University Press. Further information current contents, Personal Electronic Subscriptions, Free Trials etc.
