International Conference - Complex Systems

将组织一次关于复杂系统研究的大型国际会议。 有一个新的和不断增长的努力，以了解系统形成的许多相互作用的部分，显示复杂的动态行为。 这些系统包括物理、化学、生物、社会和经济系统以及人工（工程）系统。 来自不同学科和不同观点的研究人员正在分享知识，数学方法和见解，以推动所有领域的努力。 理解复杂系统的新科学努力吸引了公众的极大关注，因为它解决了包括个人心理学，社会和经济变化的动态以及当前关注的生态学等问题。 因此，它可以作为一种媒介，使公众认识到科学在社会中的重要性。 各种会议讨论了这些日益努力的各个方面。然而，这是第一次将广泛多样的研究人员聚集在一起的重大国际会议，展示了这些努力的跨学科但连贯性。 会议将在新英格兰复杂系统研究所的主持下组织，该研究所是一个新的教育机构，来自新英格兰主要学术机构的教员将参加。

A major international conference on the study of complex systems will be organized. There is a new and growing effort to understand systems formed out of many interacting parts that display complex dynamic behaviors. These include physical, chemical, biological, social and economic systems as well as artificial (engineered) systems. Researchers from diverse disciplines and different perspectives are sharing knowledge, mathematical methods and insights in order to advance the effort in all areas. The new scientific effort to understand complex systems has attracted significant public attention because it addresses issues that include individual psychology, dynamics of social and economic change, and ecology that are of current concern. Thus it can serve as a vehicle for public awareness of the importance of science in society. Various conferences have addressed aspects of these growing efforts. However, this is the first major international conference to bring the wide diversity of researchers together, demonstrating the interdisciplinary but coherent nature of these efforts. The conference will be organized under the aegis of the New England Complex Systems Institute -- a new educational institution with participation of faculty from major academic institutions in New England.
