Readership: These proceedings contain papers which can interest physicists, mathematicians, informaticians, engineers, biologists, economists, psychologists, philosophers and researchers in physics, quantum, relativist and astrophysical systems, logics, modelling and control of systems, chaos theory, evolutionary systems, neural networks, cognitive science, robotics, computing systems and soft computing. These proceedings are readable by scientists with a university background.

Contains foundations of anticipation in any system and applications in all areas of science: economics, biology, cognition, physics, robotics, etc. Strong anticipatory systems take into account past, present, and computed future states. The new mathematical and computational tools of incursion and hyperincursion are developed in this way. In weak anticipatory systems, the future states are predicted from models of these systems. The domain of computing anticipatory systems is becoming a new frontier of science.
