Publisher's Synopsis
On the 3rd of August 2014 the American Society for Cybernetics (ASC) celebrated their 50th anniversary at their annual conference, which that year was held in Washington DC, hosted by George Washington University. The choice of venue reflected the fact that the first conference of the ASC was held in the same city in 1964. The proceedings from this celebratory conference are presented in this e-book. The last three conference proceedings have been published showing the commitment from both sides to advance the field through the dissemination of cybernetics research. The conference took place from the 3rd to the 9th of August 2014, with the theme of Living in Cybernetics.
