You are hereby invited to the twenty-fifth seminar organized in
2005 by the "Evolution, Complexity and
Cognition (ECCO)" research group:
A Multi-Graph to Support
Scholarly Communication
by
(ECCO, Los Alamos National Lab.,
& Univ. California at Santa Cruz))
Place: room 3C204 (building C, 3rd floor), VUB campus
Etterbeek
Time: Friday, Oct. 28, at 17:30 h.
Abstract
The general purpose of the scholarly communication process is to
provide the necessary infrastructure to support the creation and
dissemination of ideas within the scientific community. At a finer
granularity, there exists multiple stages which, when confronted by a
member of the community, have different requirements and therefore
different solutions. In order to take a researcher's idea from an
initial inspiration to a community resource, the scholarly
communication system must
1) provide a scientist initial seed ideas;
2) form a team of well suited collaborators;
3) locate the best venue to publish the formalized idea;
4) determine the most appropriate peers to review the manuscript; and
5) disseminate the end product to the most interested members of the community.
Through the various delineations of this problem-space, the
solution-space remains tied solely to the multi-functional resources
of the community: its researchers, its journals, and its
manuscripts. It is within the web of these resources and their
inherent relationships that solutions to the problems of scholarly
communication are to be found. This seminar proposes an
associative network composed of multiple scholarly artifacts as a
medium for generating solutions for each stage of the scholarly
communication process.

ECCO
seminar programme coming weeks
- 4 Nov: Francis Heylighen: Developing
a Self-Organizing Knowledge Network for Complexity Science.
- 18 Nov: Bertin Martens: Extending the Evolutionary Epistemology Paradigm into Economics
- 25 Nov: Nathalie Gontier: Symbiogenesis as a Fundamental Evolutionary Principle
- 2 Dec: Gustaaf Geeraerts & Mehmet Tezcan: Modeling the complex adaptive system of governance in EU Foreign Policy
ECCO seminars normally take place each Friday at 17h30 in room
3C204 of the VUB Campus Etterbeek. Everyone interested is welcome.
The seminars are very interactive, with small groups (about 8
people). The intention is to discuss in depth the research being
proposed, and to look for interdisciplinary connections with other
themes related to Evolution, Complexity and Cognition. Seminars last
about two hours, after which the remaining participants go to take a
drink or a snack in the Opinio Café on the campus, to continue the
discussion in a more relaxed setting.
