The Austrian IEEE SMCS Chapter constitutes a platform for the exchange of ideas and networking within the range of systems, man and cybernetics. It was founded in November 2009.

The chapter actually covers a rather broad spectrum of topics, e.g.:

• The integration of theories on communication, control, cybernetics, stochastic, optimization and system architecture towards a general theory of systems.
• Development of technologies for system engineering including methods for problem definition, modeling and simulation, methods for experimentation on systems, human factor engineering data and method, system design techniques, as well as methods for testing and evaluation.
• The application of the topics and methods mentioned before, hardware and server-sided for analysis and design of biological, ecological, socio-economic and social service, as well as computer information and operational man-machine systems.
