5th European Conference on Complex Systems

News from the organizer:

Dear colleagues,

The number of paper abstracts submitted to
the 5th European Conference on Complex Systems, September 14-19, 2008
http://www.jeruccs2008.org/main is in the 3 digits and fast growing by the day.
Thus, we decided to postpone the deadline for paper abstracts and
satellite meetings to May 31.

MECO 33

33rd Conference of the Middle European Cooperation in Statistical Physics

1st ICC Workshop on Complexity in Social Systems

The 1st ICC Workshop on Complexity in Social Systems will be concerned with theories, methodologies, and computational tools related to the study of complexity in social systems, aiming to bring together researchers to report on progress in interdisciplinary domains. Papers examining both theory and practice are welcome.

International Workshop and Conference on Network Science (NetSci08)

The next International Workshop and Conference on Network Science (NetSci 08) will be held on 23 – 27 June, 2008. Its aim is to bring together leading researchers, practitioners, and teachers in network science (including analysts, modelling experts, visualisation specialists, and others) to foster interdisciplinary communication and collaboration.

XI International Workshop on Complex Systems

Together with the traditional interest on general aspects of disordered systems (aging phenomena, rheological properties, jamming, dielectric relaxation) this edition of the workshop will pay a special attention to the behviour of systems of biological interest (macromolecules, protein networks, protein-DNA complexes etc...), with emphasis on single-molecule studies.

Theoretical Aspects and Models of Large, Complex and Open Information Networks

Scope
Large, Complex and Open Information Networks consist of many interacting nodes, and have been shown to possess emerging properties such as the small-world character or the widespread heterogeneity of the connectivity.

International Workshop and Conference on Statistical Physics Approaches to MultiiDisciplinary Problems

TOPICS:
* Biology Inspired Physics
* Soft-Condensed Matter
* Complex Networks
* Econophysics
* Statistical Physics of Materials

Italian-Pacific meeting on the Statistical Physics of Complex Systems

This informal meeting is devoted to the application of probability theory and statistics to the analysis of complex systems, including granular systems, the atmosphere, biology, social and economic systems. Statistical-mechanical methods introduced by Boltzmann still are useful and provide a unifying methodology for different research fields.
