International Federation for Systems Research

Editorial
Having devoted most of the first issue to the background of the formation of IFSR and to an outline of the characteristics of the founder members, it is good to be able to report progress on three fronts: offices, journal, membership approach (see top of page 2).
Most of the content of this number is concerned with research activities in member societies and elsewhere. With the help of contributors who write to the editor on their interests and work, we hope to make future issues into a kind of ‘international bulletin board’ on systems and cybernetics teaching as well as activities in member societies and elsewhere.
Space forced out the planned report of IIASA developments but that column will be resumed in lssue No. 3.
The editor will be pleased to hear from anyone at any time with suggestions and criticisms and gladly acknowledge individual contributions received. Your help will be most welcome.
