Yet another highly successful and highly anticipated interdisciplinery International Conference on Computing Anticipatory Systems organized by Daniel Dubois on behalf of CHAOS asbl. It consisted of 12 symposia, with over 170 presented papers, and delegates from over 30 countries. The Conference's two Plenary speakers were the Nobel Laureate, Brian Josephson, FRS, and innovative Lotfi Zadeh, well known particularly for his initiation and practice of the theory of fuzzy sets.

The Group organised symposium 4, the programme of which had the 4 sessions with the following papers shown below in bold including that of the symposium's title which was given in conference plenary session by Peter Marcer as Vice President of CASYS 2000. The sessions was very well attended, and it is gratifyimg to say in particular, also by quantum physicists speaking at other sessions, notably symposium 3, Physical, Quantum, Relativistic and Astrophysical Systems. These included among others, Brian Josephson, John Cramer, and Alphso Rueda. In particular, the papers of Hiley and of Binz and Schempp received best paper awards. Papers throughout were of the high standard and novelty, one has now come to expect at this conference, as was their level of reception and that of the constructive debate that accompanies them. The only disappointing aspect were the visa and illness problems, which prevented the attendance of Peter Gariaev of the Russian Academy of Science's Institute of Control Science in Moscow and his colleague Uwe Keampf of Dresden University. The papers on the DNA-wave biocomputer were given, but their contributions particularly to the debate was sorely missed.

A volume of abstracts is distributed to all the conference delegates prior to each conference, and the full papers will appear either in the American Institute of Physics conference proceedings series, or in the International Journal of Computing Anticipatory Systems, both edited by Daniel Dubois.
