New Principles of Designing Social Systems and Social Realities

Thursday, 19 July 2018: 19:30-20:50
Location: 802A (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC51 Sociocybernetics (host committee)

Language: English

Formerly, social systems theories were regarded as an extension of natural science. We could discuss the connection between technology and social systems in the last century by suggesting that social systems were not artifacts or products of technology. However, since the start of the internet era, we have been experiencing a big paradigm shift. Specifically, after the ICT revolution, we could not help but consider a society, not only as a system which constructs a certain reality, but also a constructed system, in other words, a kind of artifacts. From here onwards we need to look for new principles to help deal with designing social systems.
In this session we would like to discuss the new principles of designing social systems and social realities. Any kind of contributions related to the above-mentioned issues is appreciated.
