Scope
Much has been learned about the structure and function of complex systems during the past three decades. This research has informed numerous individual scientific fields in important ways, and has led to a maturing understanding of the extent to which complex systems from diverse domains share common underlying properties and characteristics. The recent availability of innovative measurement techniques (e.g., in biology) and new modes of social interaction (e.g., via social media) are enabling vast data sets to be compiled, and with the emergence of these data comes the promise that progress in complex systems research will only accelerate. COMPLEX 2012 aims to provide a stimulating and trans-disciplinary forum that permits researchers and practitioners in all areas of complex systems science to exchange ideas and present their latest results.
Topics
Papers reporting original research are invited on all aspects of complex systems, including:
Foundations of complex systems: structure and dynamics of complex networks, multi-scale phenomena, nonlinear dynamics, emergence, self-organization, information and computation, "robust yet fragile" systems.
Analysis of complex systems: modeling and simulation, multi-agent systems, predictability and prediction, knowledge discovery, machine learning, statistical analysis, optimization, social network analysis, causality, artificial intelligence, game theory.
Complex biological systems: systems biology, biological networks, ecology, evolution, neuroscience, epidemiology, food webs, bioinformatics, gene regulation, metabolism.
Complex social systems: social networks, social dynamics, organizational structure and dynamics, economic and financial systems, firms, markets, business, conflict and security, social media and the WWW, human mobility, adversarial systems.
- Complex engineering systems: Internet, telecommunication systems, energy generation and distribution, transportation networks, artificial life, sensor networks, quantum computing, infrastructure security.
Publishing and Indexing
Accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNICST series and will appear in the SpringerLink, one of the largest digital libraries online that covers a variety of scientific disciplines, as well as in the ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL). LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ISI Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus.
