Description: The International Symposium on Extenics and Innovation Methods will be held in Beijing, August 16-18, 2013. Extenics is a new discipline, which uses formalized models to explore the possibility of extension/transformation of things and to solve contradictory problems. Researchers have proposed extension innovation methods and are applying them to different fields, i.e. information, design, control, automation and management, constituting extension engineering. Contributions to this volume will cover innovation theories and methods, Extenics Theory, Extension Innovation Methods and Interdisciplinary Research within Extenics and other subjects or specific fields.
