Norbert Wiener in the 21st Century conference will benefit all interested in multidisciplinary fields from control theory to science, technology and society. Wiener’s work has applications in industry, Biology, Art, Medicine, Computer Science and Automation. The unpredictable nature of these applications can potentially result in near break down conditions such as traffic jams, stock market crashes and wars to mention a few. Cybernetic methods relevant for addressing challenging problems arising in these application domains must be refined and expanded to meet the changing needs of the 21st century from a disciplinary to an adaptive multidisciplinary approach. The conference will offer methods of studying and applying the works of Norbert Wiener in holistic-oriented, system-of-systems (SoS) based decision-oriented practices. Conference chair Dr Greg Adamson is interviewed here by Adam Ford. Video production - Adam Ford.
