ICCS: International Conference on Complex Systems
Deadline Reminder / Brief Extension
The deadline for ICCS submission of abstracts and
for application for attendance is this weekend (Jan 15).
We are just setting up a meeting of the program committee so we can
accept abstracts somewhat late, but please do not delay submitting
more than a few days (early next week). We have to organize the
abstracts before the meeting.
After this deadline some abstracts may still be accepted but only at
the discretion of session organizers.
for further information see

Attached is the call for papers.
All best,

ICCS:International Conference on Complex Systems CFP

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
Engineering complex systems
Other sessions will be formed out of abstracts received on diverse
topics. Individual submissions will be accepted on their merit.
- ---------------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION:
Conference attendance is limited to about 250
participants. Applications will be accepted on a first-come,
first-served basis from those active or interested in becoming active
in the study of complex systems.
