Summer School on Complex Systems; Santa Fe, New Mexico; June 5-30, 1989

报道，6月5日至30日，全国一批研究机构、中心和大学将在新墨西哥州圣达菲举办为期四周的暑期学校。暑期班的目标是为研究生和博士后研究员提供关于数学、物理和生活系统中“复杂”行为研究的入门知识。该学院的重点将是开发测量和分析复杂行为的技术，并将这些技术应用于特定系统的研究。课程包括非线性动力学、计算和算法复杂性、无序系统、神经网络和计算神经生物学、化学振荡器、晶格气体、生物系统中的模式形成以及并行处理算法的设计。为期四周的学校将包括大约九个短期课程，以及作为课程补充的研讨会、计算机工作坊和实验实验室。前三周将围绕正式讲座组织，最后的“研究周”将主要致力于对讲师建议的项目进行研究。在该校展示的材料旨在面向在数学、物理、生物或信息科学方面受过研究生水平培训并具有深厚数学背景的高级学生。

A group of institutes, centers, and universities throughout the country will sponsor a summer school in Santa Fe, New Mexico during the four-week period June 5-30, 1989. The goal of the summer school is to provide graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with an introduction to the study of "complex" behavior in mathematical, physical, and living systems. The emphasis of the school will be on developing techniques for measuring and analyzing complex behavior, and applying these techniques to the study of specific systems. Subjects to be covered include nonlinear dynamics, computational and algorithmic complexity, disordered systems, neural nets and computational neurobiology, chemical oscillators, lattice gases, pattern formulation in biological systems, and design of parallel-processing algorithms. The four-week school will consist of approximately nine short courses together with seminars, computer workshops, and experimental labs supplementing the lectures. The first three weeks will be organized around formal lectures, and the final "Research Week" will be devoted primarily to research on projects suggested by the lecturers. The material presented at the school is intended to be accessible to advanced students with graduate-level training in the mathematical, physical, biological, or information sciences and a strong mathematical background.
