===================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================== EmergeNET3: Emergence and Networks A Satellite Meeting of the European Conference on Complex Systems http://www.emergenet.org Thursday 24 September 2009 at the University of Warwick, UK EmergeNET is a network project bringing together researchers working in complex systems and emergence, and is funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), UK ===================================================== EmergeNET is a network project funded by EPSRC with the primary aim of developing our understanding of complex systems, emergence and related concepts by bringing together researchers from the sciences, social sciences and beyond. EmergeNET3 is one of a series of themed workshops that aim to develop our understanding of emergence from a range of perspectives and to explore the relationship between emergence and other key ideas in complex systems science. Networks are a core concept in complex systems research, and this workshop will explore both their role in providing structure for understanding emergence, and the emergence of networks themselves. == IMPORTANT DATES == - 15 August 2009: Submission of abstracts for presentations and posters - 29 August 2009: Notification for all submission categories NB: Submissions may be accepted after these dates, but this will be at the discretion of the organisers. - 24 September 2009: EmergeNET3 Meeting == TOPICS OF INTEREST == EmergeNET invites contributions on all topics relating to complex systems, emergence and networks. Topics of special interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Definitions of emergence and complexity - The emergence of network structure - The role of networks in emergence - Emergence and networks in real world contexts == INVITED SPEAKERS == - Professor Jim Crutchfield, University of California - Dr Yves Demazeau, University of Grenoble - Professor Alan Winfield, Bristol Robotics Lab - Dr Yasmin Merali, Warwick Business School == SUBMISSION FORMATS == - Presentations: 20-minute sessions (presentation+questions/comments) - Posters: For work-in-progress, late-breaking results or work best presented via conversation Abstracts should be sent to [email protected] by 15 August 2009. (Full papers are not required.) Submissions may be accepted after these dates, but this will be at the discretion of the organisers. == BURSARIES == A number of bursaries are available to cover registration, travel and accommodation with preference given to early career researchers and those without other sources of funding.
