International Conference on Complex Systems, June 9-14,2002.

[00:21 . 48]在理解复杂系统和复杂性方面，出现了一种新的、日益增长的努力，这激发了科学界的广泛兴趣。这项资助将使学生、博士后和其他初级科学家能够参加国际复杂系统会议（ICCS）。会议将集中讨论统一的概念和数学策略及其在物理、生物和社会系统中的应用。会议包括针对学生的教学会议，以及公众感兴趣和关注的主题，这些主题将作为更广泛受众的教育和交流工具。一个特别的专题日将讨论进化研究的最新进展，几场会议将集中讨论生物复杂性、生态学和生物、物理和社会系统耦合的多尺度模式。各种各样的会议和研讨会讨论了这些不断增长的理解复杂系统的努力的各个方面。然而，ICCS是唯一一个将广泛多样的研究结合在一起的主要国际会议系列，展示了这些努力的跨学科但综合和连贯的性质。这个系列会议是由新英格兰复杂系统研究所（NECSI）组织的。

0211048Bar-YamThere is a new and growing effort to understand complex systems and complexity that has stimulated widespread interest in the scientific community. This grant will enable the participation of students, postdoctoral fellows and and other junior scientists in the International Conference on Complex Systems (ICCS). Sessions will focus on unified conceptual and mathematical strategies and theirapplications to physical, biological and social systems. The conference includes pedagogical sessions for students and topics of interest and concern to the public that will serve as vehicles of education and communication for a broader audience. A special topical day will address recent advances in the study of evolutionand several sessions will focus on biocomplexity, ecology andmultiscale patterns coupling biological, physical and social systems.Various conferences and workshops have addressed aspects of these growing efforts to understand complex systems. However, the ICCS is the only major international conference series to bring the wide diversity of research together, demonstrating the interdisciplinary yet integrative and coherent nature of these efforts. This conference series is organized by the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI).
