We are pleased to announce that our paper was accepted for presentation for The 17th International Multi-Conference on Society, Cybernetics and Informatics: IMSCI 2023©, September 12 – 15, 2023

About the Conference
“Informatics and Cybernetics (communication and control) are having an increasing impact on societies and in the globalization process that is integrating them. Societies are trying to regulate this impact, and adapt it to their respective cultural infra-structures. Societies and cultures are in reciprocal co-adaptations with Information and Communication Technologies. Synergic relationships might emerge in this co-adaptation process by means of positive and negative feedback loops, as well as feedforward ones. This would make the whole larger than the sum of its parts, generating emergent properties in the parts involved as well as in the whole coming forth. The academic, private, and public sectors are integrating their activities; multi-disciplinary groups and inter-disciplinary teams are being formed, and collaborative research and development projects are being organized in order to facilitate and adequately orient the design and implementation of the feedback and the feedforward loops, so the synergic relationships are socially positive and personally human.”

It was a pleasure to work with my colleagues in a true collaborative spirit and academic exchange through the lens of trans-disciplinarity and its implications for contemporary scholarship and practice. Thank you to Dr. Birgit Oberer from the ETCOP Institute for Interdisciplinary Research, Klagenfurt, Austria, and Cristo Leon from the Office of Research & Development, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark.

Our paper is titled:

“Trans-Disciplinary Communication in the ChatGPT Age: A Systems Perspective”

ABSTRACT
In recent years, Trans-Disciplinarity (TD) has become increasingly recognized as a critical concept in contemporary scholarship and practice, especially in the emerging field of the metaverse. Despite its growing importance, however, the precise origins and meanings of the term remain somewhat elusive, and its relationship to systems thinking is still poorly understood. Consequently, further research is needed to clarify the definition and application of transdisciplinarity and explore its connections with related concepts such as systems thinking. By doing so, we can gain a broader understanding of how transdisciplinary approaches can be used to address complex problems in a variety of contexts and how they can contribute to advancing knowledge and innovation across disciplinary boundaries.
