First Call for Papers 

Australia New Zealand Systems Conference (ANZSYS) 2007

"Systemic development: local solutions in a global environment"
2 - 5 December 2007, Auckland, New Zealand

ANZSYS'07 is the thirteenth annual systems conference to be held in this
series and is located in Auckland at Unitec New Zealand (Mt Albert
Campus).  The theme of this year's conference is 'Systemic development:
Local solutions in a global environment'. As the call to solve
intractable problems in a globally-connected world increases, systems
thinkers turn towards systemic problem solving. The challenge is to
apply holistic, global systems concepts to local situations. 
This call goes out to both academic and practitioners in applying
systems thinking principles to such problems. 

The following is extracted from the conference website:
