Complex
Systems for National Security Applications."
We are accepting proposals for both oral and poster presentations in

the Center for Nonlinear Studies of the Los Alamos National
Laboratory,
and attracts a broad range of theoreticians, computer modelers,
analysts, domain experts, and decision makers from academia, industry,
government, and the national laboratories. The event has earned a
