Cody Wiley, the president of > the group, and I are reviving it. The formal mission of the > organization is "to provide a multidisciplinary meeting > ground and support for students interested in learning about > or using complex dynamic systems and theory in their studies, > research, and creative endeavors." Our thought is to begin > with informal gatherings focused on fun, stimulating > conversations, in order to foster the sharing of ideas and > the meeting of like-minded researchers from other > disciplines. I've listed some examples of potential topics > that could be discussed at the end of this email, but I would > emphasize that the nature of these initial discussions will > be relaxed and free-form. I envision these initial > discussions to be more centered around promoting > collaborations and intellectual connections between > researchers of different disciplines rather than complexity > science per se. > > > Some potential topics for discussion > properties of complex systems > -self-organization, adaptation, non-linearities, feedback > loops, emergent properties, etc. > theoretical approaches for examining complex systems > -reductionist versus holistic strategies -differences and > commonalities between cybernetics, systems theory, hierarchy > theory, complexity theory, organizational theory, chaos > theory, network theory, etc. > tools for study > -mathematics, individual-based models, simulation models, > experiments, remote-sensing, data mining, etc. > history and future of the study of complex systems > -origination in disparate fields, including physics, > economics, biology, and computer science -current state of > understanding and how to incorporate this understanding into > traditional disciplines and curricula applications of > complexity science -sustainability, resource management, > technological innovation -research in social, biological, and > physical systems > > -- > Jordan Okie > Program for Interdisciplinary Biological and Biomedical > Sciences UNM Biology Department MSC03-2020 > 1 University of New Mexico > Albuquerque, NM 87131-0001 > University of New Mexico > Office phone: 505-277-1297 > Cell phone: 505-366-1218 > > > > -- > Next up at ARTS Lab: > ON SCREEN: UNM Writers in Film & TV, a special reading event > at the Garage on November 15th as part of Words Afire. > The Garage is located at 131 Pine St., NE, one block west of > University and steps north of Central. > > For more info visit http://artslab.unm.edu/newsevents/ > -- > > Eric Whitmore, Program Coordinator > ARTS Lab & Arts Technology Center > 505-277-2253 > http://artslab.unm.edu > >
