Dr. Nagib Callaos is the founding president of the IIIS and the founding president of the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics, and Informatics (JSCI). He is former Dean of Research and Development of the University Simón Bolivar and was the founding presidents of several organization on research, development, and technological innovation, e.g. The Foundation of Research and Development of the University Simón Bolivar, the founding president of the Venezuelan Fund for Technological Innovations (created by presidential decree), The founding president of the Venezuelan Association of Executives in Patents and Copyrights, etc. His main research and professional activities were in the area of systemic Methodologies of Information System Development, Group Decision Support Systems, and Action-Research mainly via Operations Research. He tutored more than 100 undergraduate and graduate theses and produced more than 100 research papers and reflection articles.
Related to the topic of this conversational session he has been continuously designing and redesigning (for about 35 years) more effective methodologies for information/informing system development, which effectiveness depends of including ethos, pathos, and logos to the in the context of a combination of systemic and traditional systematic analysis, design, and development methodologies. A synthesis of was he has achieved in this methodological area can be found at http://www.iiis.org/nagib-callaos/Toward-Systemic-Notion-of-Methodology-Practical-Consequences.pdf. With regards to the cybernetic relationships implicitly or explicitly should exist between episteme and techne, science and engineering, in the context of their industrial and societal insertion can be found at http://www.iiis.org/nagib-callaos/engineering-and-meta-engineering/engineering-and-metaengineering.pdf. This kind of insertion is necessary for the Ethos, Pathos and Logos of both episteme and techne as well as of both Science and Engineering/technology. This has strong consequences in the Ethos, Pathos and Logos, especially in Higher education.
The main purpose of this Conversational Participative Session is to support an open forum
1. To describe the importance of integration Ethos, Pathos, Logos to Academic Activities: Research, Education, and Consulting of Real Life Problem Solving.
2. To identify effective and feasible means to achieve this integration in academic activities.
3. To identify effective and feasible means to synergistically relate academic activities to the Private and Public Sector as well as to Society at large.
4. To identify feasible and effective ways, of point 2 and 3 above, that might be implemented 1) in future conferences organized by the International Institute of Informatics and Systemics, 2) by the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics, and Informatics in its both versions: English (JSCI) and Spanish (RISCI), and potentially by other journals and conferences.
5. To provide input to the attendees of this session so they feel enabled to write reflection-based invited or position papers, which will be included in the post-conference edition of the conference proceedings with no additional costs for the respective authors. The best of these papers will also be published in the Journal with no additional cost for the respective author. These papers will be distinguished as “invited papers” or “position papers”.
