The term \Cybernetics" was proposed by Norbert Wiener in 1948 [39]. Derived from the Greek \kybernetes", or \steersman", it was de ned as \the study of control and communication in the animal and machine". Over time, the meaning has been broadened substantially, and while many speci c senses persist, Cybernetics can be generally understood as the study of the abstract principles of organization...

Reproduced below, with a few small edits, is a paper I wrote in 1979 for the International Cybernetics Newsletter, as part of its ‘founding fathers of cybernetics’ series (Scott, 1979). I offer it here as a contribution to this special issue of C&HK because (i) I believe my younger self did quite a good job of overviewing von Foerster’s career (recall, he ‘retired’ in 1976) and (ii) the article...

A critical challenge for managerial effectiveness and competitive advantage in research and development (R and D) organizations is developing an appropriate structural configuration. However, in finding an appropriate structural configuration, R and D managers are faced with unprecedented levels of uncertainty, ambiguity, and accelerating complexity, coupled with demands for increased productiv...

This paper introduces the other papers in this issue, describing and arguing for the context in which they were written – a conference that was, unusually, based in conversation rather than reporting through the presentation of papers: and a refereeing process that continued after the initial presentation (at the conference) of the work reported, thus allowing responses to critical comments. Ma...

Lev T. Kuzin (1928–1997) is one of the founders of modern cybernetics and information science in Russia. After getting his Doctor of Technical Sciences degree in the industrial research sphere he joined the Moscow Engineering Physical Institute at the time when there were a few specialists in cybernetics in Russia. A few years later he became a founder of Cybernetics department and a Chair of t...
