Peter A. Coming Palo Alto, CA November, 2000 This volwne represents
a distillation of the plenary sessions at a unique millenniwn year
event -a World Congress of the Systems Sciences in conjunction with
the 44th annual meeting of the International Society for the
Systems Sciences (ISSS). The overall theme of the conference was
"Understanding Complexity in the New Millenniwn. " Held at Ryerson
Polytechnic University in Toronto, Canada, from July 16-22,2000,
the conference included some 350 participants from over 30
countries, many of whom were representatives of the 21
organizations and groups that co-hosted this landmark event. Each
of these co-host organizations/groups also presented a segment of
the program, including a plenary speech. In addition, the
conference featured a nwnber of distinguished "keynote" speeches
related to the three daily World Congress themes: (1) The Evolution
of Complex Systems, (2) The Dynamics of Complex Systems, and (3)
Human Systems in the 21st Century. There were also seven special
plenary-level symposia on a range of timely topics, including: "The
Art and Science of Forecasting in the Age of Global Wanning";
"Capitalism in the New Millenniwn: The Challenge of
Sustainability"; "The Future of the Systems Sciences"; "Global
Issues in the New Millenniwn"; "Resources and the Environment in
the New Millenniwn"; "The Lessons of Y2K"; and "Can There be a
Reconciliation Between Science and Religion?" Included in this
special commemorative volume is a cross-section of these
presentations."
