Announcement, Including Call for Papers
Third International Conference
on
COMPLEX SYSTEMS
Nashua, NH
May 21-26, 2000
Host: New England Complex Systems Institute
http://necsi.org
necsi at necsi.org
Conference Chairman: Yaneer Bar-Yam
Executive Committee:
Dan Braha, Helen Harte, Michael Jacobson,
Gottfried Mayer, David Meyer, Ali Minai
This is the third in a series of conferences with two
major aims: first, to investigate those properties or
characteristics that appear to be common to the very
different complex systems now under study; and second,
to encourage cross fertilization among the many disciplines
involved.
PEDAGOGICAL SESSION: The conference will include
pedagogical sessions on Sunday, May. 21 covering
fundamental knowledge in concepts, simulation,
and analysis tools relevant to complex systems.
- ----------------------------------------------------
ICCS SUBJECT AREAS: UNIFYING THEMES IN COMPLEX SYSTEMS
Sessions will be structured around both themes and systems.
The themes are:
EMERGENCE, STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION: substructure, the
relationship of component to collective behavior, the
relationship of internal structure to external influence,
multiscale structure and dynamics.
INFORMATICS: structuring, storing, accessing, and
distributing information describing complex systems.
COMPLEXITY: characterizing the amount of information
necessary to describe complex systems, and the dynamics
of this information.
DYNAMICS: time series analysis and prediction, chaos,
temporal correlations, the time scale of dynamic processes.
SELF-ORGANIZATION: Pattern formation, evolution,
development and adaptation.
The system categories are:
FUNDAMENTALS, PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL SYSTEMS: Spatio-
temporal patterns and chaos, fractals, dynamic scaling,
non-equilibrium processes, hydrodynamics, glasses,
non-linear chemical dynamics, complex fluids,
molecular self-organization, information and
computation in physical systems.
BIO-MOLECULAR & CELLULAR SYSTEMS: protein and DNA
folding, bio-molecular informatics, membranes, cellular
response and communication, genetic regulation, gene-
cytoplasm interactions, development, cellular
differentiation, primitive multicellular organisms,
the immune system.
PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SYSTEMS: Nervous system,
neuro-muscular control, neural network models of brain,
cognition, psychofunction, pattern recognition, learning
and development, man-machine interactions.
ORGANISMS AND POPULATIONS: population biology, ecosystems,
ecology.
HUMAN SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEMS: Corporate and social
structures, markets, urban development, the global economy,
the Internet.
ENGINEERED SYSTEMS: Product and product manufacturing,
nano-technology, modified and hybrid biological
organisms, computer based interactive systems, agents,
artificial life, artificial intelligence, and robots
communication networks, traffic systems, emergent control
of distributed systems.
- ---------------------------------------------------
Topical sessions for which papers are specifically
solicited based on prior experience:
Dynamics and Patterns in Physical Systems
Biocomplexity
Evolution
Medical Complexity
Networks
Neural Systems
Modeling Social Systems
Management of Human Organizations
Defining Complexity
Other sessions will be formed out of abstracts received
on diverse topics. Individual submissions will be accepted
on their merit.
- ---------------------------------------------------

Conference attendance is limited to about
250 participants. Applications will be accepted
on a first-come, first-served basis from

Subject: Comp Ling/Communicating Agents
The Society for Computational Linguistics and Language Technology
Communicating Agents
Workshop of the GLDV special interest group on
generation and parsing in morphology, syntax and semantics,
IKP, University of Bonn, Feb 15, 2000
http://www.gldv.org/Veranstaltungen/WS_Feb00/
In the focus of this workshop will be approaches to the
formal description and eventually to the implementation of
communicating agents.
We invite papers on the following aspects:
1.incremental analysis / interpretation
datastructure of the context (e.g. dynamic semantics)
computational reconstruction of reference
correlation of semantic and pragmatic interpretation
2.partner oriented generation
intentionally directed generation
partner knowledge and attribution of belief
3.evolution of systems and strategies of communication
concept evolution / formation / construction
evolution of linguistic norms
repair strategies in disturbed communication
Lectures should not be longer than 20 minutes. They will be followed by
a
10 minute discussion each. Workshop languages are English and German.
We plan to publish workshop proceedings with the full papers.
System demonstrations will be possible on demand.
Abstracts of no more than 600 words should be sent
- preferably by E-Mail in ASCII, HTML, PS or PDF format -
to Bernhard Schroeder before Jan 10, 2000.
