>--------------------------------------------------
> Announcement, Including Call for Papers

> Third International Conference
> on
> COMPLEX SYSTEMS
>
> Nashua, NH
> May 21-26, 2000
>
>Host: New England Complex Systems Institute

> necsi@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

>Dynamics and Patterns in Physical Systems
>Biocomplexity
>Evolution

>Management of Human Organizations
>Defining Complexity
