International Workshop on Complex Systems and Networks 2009

Dear S4 Members,

For information:

The International Workshop on Complex Systems and Networks 2009 (IWCSN09)  will be the 6th International Workshop in a successful series of events organized in Bologna (2004), Hong Kong (2005), Vancouver (2006), Guilin (2007) and Canberra (2008). The aim of the workshop is to foster exchange and collaboration among researchers in the fields of multi-agent and complex systems, nonlinear dynamics, networks and coupled systems and related applications. The 2009 edition will be organized by the Bristol Centre for Complexity Sciences, a new interdisciplinary centre in Complexity funded by the UK EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Research Council).

The workshop will be focussed on the problem of studying the emergence of coordinated behaviour in multi-agent systems and networks and their applications. Topics will include synchronization and control of networks of dynamical systems, coordination of behaviour in multi- agent systems, applications to biological and communication networks, epidemics and artificial intelligence. The meeting is sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the Centre for Chaos and Complex Networks at the City University of Hong Kong, the EU Project PASCAL and the Bristol Centre for Complexity Sciences.

On Monday 20th July 2009, a set of tutorial lectures on complex networks will be run as part of this workshop.
