Hi Folks,

 

Discussions on this list frequently venture into the area of Complex Systems, so I think that the below conference will be of interest to a number of people.  /Roger

 

 

Complex Engineered Systems (CES) at the International Conference on Complex Systems

 

The 6th International Conference on Complex Systems will be held in Boston, MA, June 25-30, 2006. Complex engineered systems (CES) will be a featured theme at the conference, reflecting the increasing importance to engineering of self organizing, networked, evolving, biomorphic approaches.

 

ICCS represents a unique opportunity for engineers working on complex systems to interact with leading complex systems experts from biology, physics, chemistry, economics and the social sciences. This year's conference will continue the tradition of outstanding speakers and engaging dialog.

 

Topics of interest for CES sessions include:

* Characteristics of Complex Engineered Systems Modularity and evolvability; Robustness, vulnerability and failure in CES; Self-similarity, critical phenomena, and power laws; Non-linearity and chaotic dynamics.

 

* Networks in Complex Engineered Systems Network dynamics in CES; Scale-free and small-world networks; Effect of connectivity on CES performance; Robustness and vulnerability; Evolving networks.

 

* CES Paradigms Based on Natural Systems Neural networks; Artificial immune systems; Amorphous computing; Swarm robotics; Self-configuring robots; Animats/ biomorphic robots; Self-organized sensor networks.

 

* Evolving Engineered Systems

Evolution as a paradigm for systems engineering; Computer based genetic programming; Evolvable hardware; Artificial life and artificial worlds.

 

* CES Paradigms Based on Human Systems

Game-theoretic paradigms; Economic paradigms; Social paradigms.

 

* Product Design and Development

Self-organized design; Complexity-related methodologies in product development; Cooperative workgroups for collaborative product design.

 

* Managing Complex Engineered Systems

Emergent/self-organized control; Human-Computer Interactions; Managing risks; Managing vulnerability to attack.

 

* Ethical, Social, Economic and Political Dimensions of CES Accountability and responsibility in self-organized, decentralized systems; Dissociation of ownership and control; Security in networked complex systems; Effect on classical socioeconomic and political models; Resource utilization and costs in CES; Potential social hazards of autonomous, adaptive complex systems.

 

* Specific Complex Engineering Systems

Ecology of the World Wide Web; Collective systems; Smart networks; Smart materials and structures; Smart environments; Intelligent traffic systems; Self-configuring robots; Tissue engineering.

 

Abstract Submission Deadline:  This Friday, March 31 Abstracts submitted after this date will be accepted if space allows.
