ISCID - International Society for Complexity Information and Design |
Description |
The International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design (ISCID)
is a cross-disciplinary professional society that investigates complex
systems apart from external programmatic constraints like materialism,
naturalism, or reductionism. The society provides a forum for formulating,
testing, and disseminating research on complex systems through critique,
peer review, and publication. Its aim is to pursue the theoretical
development, empirical application, and philosophical implications of
information- and design-theoretic concepts for complex systems and thereby
to retrain the scientific imagination to see purpose in nature.
