Program

SISSY will take place on Mon, the 16th of September 2024, in room Stakladen , at Aarhus University

TIME : Aarhus, Denmark (CET: Berlin, Paris, Rome - UTC+2)

The program will feature three main sessions and a special-topic panel (cf. details below).

Each session contains three research presentations (10-15 min each) and a panel (45 min) inviting the three presenting authors to discuss and answer questions from the audience.

The panel in the final session will focus on "SISSY Challenges for Socio-Technical Systems".

The panel aims to identify outstanding difficulties in (self-)integrating technical components with human "resources", considering the different natures, properties and constraints inherent to artificial and live processes.

The topic will be introduced via short interventions from Asimina Mertzani and Jeremy Pitt from Imperial, UK, based on their experience with self-governance, organisation, norms and institutions in socio-technical systems.
These will be followed-up by SISSY-related comments from Kirstie Bellman and Ada Diaconescu and open to extensive discussions with the audience.
