	2002 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON 
	SYSTEMS, MAN AND CYBERNETICS 
	October 6-9, 2002, Hammamet - Tunisia 
	
	"Bridging the Digital Divide for Cyber-development, 
	Human Progress, Understanding and Prosperity" 

      #################################################### 


	The second IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and
Cybernetics of the twenty-first century will be held under special
circumstances and in a special country, Tunisia. It will be held two
years
after the Okinawa-Kyushu G8 Summit in Japan in which the digital divide
between developed countries and developing countries was considered to
be a
major challenge for the World Community. It will be also held three
years
before the second part of the United Nations sponsored World Summit on
the
Information Society, which will take place in Tunisia in 2005. Tunisia
proposed the idea of the Summit in 1998 at the International
Telecommunication Union annual meeting in Minneapolis, USA. The first
part
will be held in Switzerland in 2003. 
	
	Location 
	The venue for the SMC'02 Conference will be Hammamet, Tunisia.
Hammamet, formerly a fisherman's town surrounded by orange groves and an
ancient rampart overlooking the sea, has become today a world-famous
Mediterranean resort city. The conference will be held October 6-9, 2002
in
Yasmine Hammamet, a new tourism development, six minutes only from
Hammamet
and one hour from Tunis-Carthage and Monastir airports. 
	
	Theme 
	The Conference aims to provide a forum for presentation and
discussion of the state of the art in Systems Engineering, involving
issue
formulation and interpretation in all of the life cycle phases
associated
with the definition, development and implementation of large, complex
systems; Human Systems and human organisational interactions, including
cognitive ergonomics, system test and evaluation, human information
processing concerns in systems and organizations; Cybernetics, including
communication and control across humans, machines and organisations.
Presentations including, but not limited to the following are encouraged
from both industry and academia: 
	
	Systems Modeling and Control Manufacturing Systems 
	Decision Support Systems/Informatics 
	Intelligent Transportation Systems 
	Information Systems/Technology Management 
	Telecommunication Systems 
	Quality/Reliability and Systems Engineering 
	Internet/Electronic Commerce/EDI 
	Human and Machine Systems 
	Energy and Environment Systems 
	Computational Cybernetics 
	Medical and Health Care Systems 
	
	In addition, the conference offers the opportunity for advanced
technology transfer and contributes in "bridging the digital divide for 
	cyber-development, human progress, peace and prosperity". 
	
	Important Dates 
	March 1, 2002: Deadline for submission of full (draft) papers /
invited sessions and tracks. 
	May 1, 2002: Acceptance / Rejection notification. 
	June 15, 2002: Final camera-ready papers due in electronic form &
author pre-registration. 
	
	Call for Contributed Papers 
	Prospective authors are invited to submit full (draft) paper(s)
electronically through the conference web site. Papers will be reviewed
by
up to three referees for technical merit and content. Accepted paper(s)
must
be presented at the conference by one of the authors to appear in the
proceedings. 
	
	Call for Invited Sessions and Tracks 
	The goal of invited sessions (5 papers) and invited tracks (at least
two sessions) is to provide focused discussions on new topics or
innovative
applications. Each prospective session/track organizer must submit a
proposal, including the title of the session and a list of authors with
extended abstracts. 
	
	Industry-Focused Sessions 
	In addition to the traditional topic areas, the Technical Program
Committee is soliciting papers that focus on industrial issues. By
bringing
together 
	researchers from industry and academia, we hope to foster
collaboration and promote transfer of ideas among these communities.
