Call for Papers, Workshops,and Presentations We are seeking papers and presentations covering areas of systems science, use of systems approaches in applications or subject sciences (natural and social), concept or position papers, and speculative (novel) thinking. Most submissions should indicate a target SIG venue. If, however, there may not be a suitable SIG, the proposal may be considered for non-aligned paper sessions. Submissions related to the theme of the conference are especially encouraged, but not required.

A selection of authors will be invited to submit an extended/reworked or updated version of the presented paper for review to the Systems Research and Behavioral Science (SRBS, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10991743a) special issue known as the ISSS Yearbook.
