International Conference - Complex Systems

将组织一次关于复杂系统研究的重大国际会议。有一种新的和日益增长的努力来理解由许多显示复杂动态行为的相互作用部分组成的系统。这些包括物理、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，以推进所有领域的努力。理解复杂系统的新的科学努力吸引了大量的公众关注，因为它解决了包括个人心理、社会和经济变化的动态以及当前关注的生态学在内的问题。因此，它可以作为一种媒介，让公众意识到科学在社会中的重要性。各种会议讨论了这些日益增长的努力的各个方面。然而，这是第一次将广泛的研究人员聚集在一起的主要国际会议，展示了这些努力的跨学科但连贯的性质。会议将在新英格兰复杂系统研究所的支持下组织，这是一个新的教育机构，来自新英格兰主要学术机构的教师将参与其中。

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.
