ALIFE 2020

New Frontiers in AI: What can ALife offer AI? The fields of AI and ALife share a common history and a common approach: true understanding of living systems can only be demonstrated by successfully re-creating them using biology and/or technology. But mind and life are two of the most mysterious systems known to us, so re-creating them is exceedingly challenging, exciting and, at times, surprising. Recently, AI has "thrown down the gauntlet" by making large strides forward in understanding some aspects of intelligence, and intelligence is one of many phenomena expressed by living systems; this suggests that more big discoveries are yet to come. So, we invite you to join us, July 2020, to continue the search for answers to life, the universe, and everything.

COMPLEXIS 2020

5th International Conference on Complexity, Future Information Systems and Risk (COMPLEXIS 2020) Prague, Czech Republic. May 8 - 9, 2020

22) COMPLEX SYSTEMS IN SOCIAL RESEARCH in XLII International Congress of Americanism

This session aims to explain the social dynamics from the perspective and formalisation of complex systems, to the extent that they allow the creation of a transdisciplinary and integrative theory of different knowledge; using methods that identify variables in configuration spaces that can be modelled. These models allow to clarify invisible interdependencies in the first instance, and allow the construction of new research hypotheses using Mathematics and Physics, aided by computational techniques. In this context, it is pertinent to discuss whether by formalising complexity it will identify different knowledge from what we would obtain with cause specifications and lineal effects; considering the possibility to reflect on how connexions can be found the complex systems of the American continent, so far absent, formalising, in this way, holistic thoughts. We propose in this session that the participants present researches based on the Sciences of Complexity, enriching this area of ​​research with their experiences.

Thematic Month on Mathematics Issues in Biology

This residential month is along the lines of former sessions organized at CIRM each February since 2001 by a group of Marseille researchers. In February 2020, the members of the Institute of Mathematics of Marseille involved in collaborations with biologists propose to gather researchers from around the world, at CIRM, around the theme of Mathematical Biology. The interplay between mathematics and biology has developed rapidly since the last decades of the 20th century, both in France and in all developed countries. Progress in biological science requires mathematical modeling, while the increased quantity of available data makes it possible to compare models with reality, and requires a lot of statistics. This is true at all levels of life. The evolution of species, their interactions among themselves and with their environment, ecology and the condition for maintenance of biodiversity are major fields where biologists, mathematicians and statisticians interact. Furthermore, emerging epidemics (such as AIDS, H1N1, EBOLA, etc.) and the development of antibiotic resistance call for progress in the mathematical modeling of epidemics, and in the interplay between their dynamics and the evolution of viruses.

IX GEFENOL Summer School on Statistical Physics of Complex Systems

Statistical Physics is firmly established as one on the pillars of modern physics. It provides the theoretical framework to describe the behaviour of physical systems that have a large number of degrees of freedom. It has evolved into a solid body of knowledge that provides understanding of thermodynamics, collective phenomena, and macroscopic behaviour of many-body interacting systems as a whole. The mathematical tools developed by Statistical Physics together with the Theory of Dynamical Systems are of key importance to our understanding of Complex Systems, which are characterized by the emergent and collective phenomena of many interacting units. While the basic body of knowledge of Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systems is well described in textbooks at undergraduate or master level, the applications to open problems in the context of Complex Systems are well beyond the scope of typical textbooks. Aiming at bridging this gap the Topical Group on Statistical and Non Linear Physics ( GEFENOL) of the Spanish Royal Physical Society is promoting the Summer School on Statistical Physics of Complex Systems series, open to Master and PhD students and young postdocs world-wide.

Emergence - Second International TRANSIT workshop on Cross-disciplinary Research

The Second International TRANSIT workshop on Cross-disciplinary Research (TWCR 2019) will be held in York, UK, 27-28 March 2019. It is hosted by the York Cross-disciplinary Centre for Systems Analysis and the University of York. Emergence is a term used to describe system-level collective properties and behaviours that cannot be reduced to specific properties of their individual components. From Aristotle’s “the whole is something besides the parts” to Anderson’s “More is different”, emergence captures the existence of an overall unity separate from its constituents. Emergence is a broad concept, occurring across systems comprising physical, technological, neural, biological, or social components. From physics to philosophy, from biology to art, from engineering to neuroscience, emergent properties abound, yet there remains little agreement on a formal definition of emergence, ways to analyse it, or ways to achieve it.

Biological Aging from the Perspective of Physics, Information Science and Life Sciences

The conference, which will take place at Jacobs University Bremen from July 16-20 2018, is aimed at exploring the impact that fundamental physics principles have on biological aging at the genetic, cellular and neuronal level. Such principles include the ubiquitous trade-off between cost and precision in information processing, the finiteness of resources like energy over a finite period of time, and the induced error accumulation that is observed in different manifestations of aging. We will also confront aspects of material aging with biological aging and consider universal aspects between its very different manifestations. No specific background knowledge on biological aging is required to get to know about novel perspectives from which to consider this familiar phenomenon in its many disguises.

The purpose of this conference is to highlight the major advances in the field and the development of new tools, to support the development of theory and applications of CA and DCS and to identify and study within an inter- and multidisciplinary context, the important fundamental aspects, concepts, notions and problems concerning CA and DCS.

10th INTERNATIONAL MEETING ON INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE AND ACTION - Information, Knowledge, Autonomous Action and Big Data: Continuity or Revolution?

The rapid development of informational technologies has provoked a wide debate in the academic community concerning their influence in human autonomous action, generating controversies in the areas of Epistemology, Philosophy of Information, Ethics, Science of Information and Cognitive Science, among others. One of the reasons for controversies concerns the positive and negative aspects incurring from interactions, registrations and manipulations of the information made available by ubiquitous computing (acting uninterruptedly through cameras, mobile phones, credit cards, various kinds of sensors, etc.), in databases on traces left in the networks of activities of individuals and social and political organizations. In the tenth version of EIICA, controversial questions about the relation between Information, Knowledge, Autonomous Action and Big Data will be discussed. An emphasis will be given to the theme of the apparent change of paradigm in philosophy and science in the 21th century, which would already be happening through replacements of causal explanations of events by explanations through massive data correlations (Big Data). Such change would supposedly be altering not only our worldview but also knowledge production and organization via Big Data. Such debate will serve as a common thread to the reflection on the continuity or revolution in philosophy and science, from questions on privacy, mechanicism and autonomous (individual and collective) action. To the discussion of such subjects, were invited renowned national and international scholars in the area.

CONTAGION'16: Modeling of disease contagion processes

The events of our recent history have shown that our battle against infectious diseases still faces enormous challenges, notwithstanding the dramatic progresses achieved in medicine and science. New infections continue to (re-)emerge in the World or move to previously unaffected regions (e.g. Zika virus), spreading rapidly into the population and causing serious concerns, considerable health impacts and potentially large economic losses. Our modern, fast, mobile and connected society is highly vulnerable to such phenomena. Transportation systems keep shrinking distances and increasing travel volumes, and urban areas become increasingly denser. Such increased mobility, mixing and interactions facilitate the spread of infectious diseases, raising major public health concerns. Also, the increasing role of social media favor the formation of ecosystems that contribute to the rapid spread of both true and false information about infections-related subjects (e.g., vaccination) that may alter individuals behavior in response to an outbreak.

Multidisciplinary applications of Evolutionary Game Theory

Evolutionary game theory joins mathematical concepts of classical game theory with evolutionary principals from biology. The method has been shown to be very fruitful in modelling systems in many different fields, from biology to economy and sociology. Its success lies in two facts: it does not need the assumption of rationality and its solutions offer the whole dynamics of the system, not just its equilibria. Evolutionary game theory is profoundly interdisciplinary and the flow of knowledge between different fields is of crucial importance for its future development and application. The goal of the workshop is to show the state-of-the-art of the field and connect researchers with different backgrounds, from physicists and computer scientists to economists and sociologists and invite them to share ideas and learn from each other. This workshop also aims to introduce the evolutionary game theory to researchers traditionally participating in artificial life meetings in order to instigate the exchange of ideas and methods.

Summer school Complex networks: theory, methods and applications

Many real systems can be modeled as networks, where the elements of the system are nodes and interactions between elements are edges. An even larger set of systems can be modeled using dynamical processes on networks, which are in turn affected by the dynamics. Networks thus represent the backbone of many complex systems, and their theoretical and computational analysis makes it possible to gain insights into numerous applications. Networks permeate almost every conceivable discipline —including sociology, transportation, economics and finance, biology, and myriad others — and the study of “network science” has thus become a crucial component of modern scientific education.

Workshop on Data Driven Approach to Networks and Language

Our aim with this workshop is to enhance the understanding about the links between individuals, social structure, and language usage. These questions can be addressed by the detailed analysis of recently available large digital datasets, like ones collected in Twitter and other systems. These datasets describe the social interactions and written posts of a large number of individuals, which allows for the coupled analysis of the social network and language evolution as a function of time. Our goal is to better understand computational sociolinguistic, fundamentally interdisciplinary and based on data driven approaches. We will bring together researchers working on data driven approaches of social networks especially focusing on network linguistic from the fields of machine learning, data analytics, data mining, and computational linguistic.

Göttinger Freilandtage "From Cohesion to Norms: HOW Social Groups Stay and Function Together"

The Göttinger Freilandtage is a bi-annual international conference on timely topics in primate behaviour, ecology and evolution organised by the Behavioral Ecology & Sociobiology Unit at the German Primate Centre (Deutsches Primatenzentrum). This meeting differs from many other conferences in that (1) one topic is comprehensively analysed from different perspectives, (2) leading experts focus on this topic for several days, and (3) there is plenty of time for formal and informal discussion. To achieve these goals, these meetings mainly feature presentations by invited speakers, but opportunities for contributed talks and poster presentations are provided as well.

Workshop: Living systems, from interaction patterns to critical behavior

Recent availability of large volumes of ecological and biological data spanning a wide range of scales, made it evident that, despite their diversity, living systems are characterized by patterns/regularities repeated from microscopic to global scales. This workshop aims to explore how these recurrent phenomena emerge as the result of concerted interactions among their constituent elements (e.g. species, or genes), using a combination of approaches inspired by statistical mechanics, network analysis and the theory of complex systems. The aim of the workshop is to introduce students and young researchers with strong background in quantitative sciences to methods and ideas used to describe such complex systems. The range of topics covered at the workshop is very broad, ranging from genomics to ecology, with the ultimate goal of identifying similarities and differences of complex biological systems operating at different scales.

Summer School: Socio-Economic Complex Systems GROWTHCOM Project

Dates: July 6 to 17, 2015 ​​ Location: Centre de Recerca Matemàtica​​​​​, Barcelona

Mathematics and Physics of Multilayer Complex Networks

A key to addressing the problem of complexity in systems is by studying their structure and function, and network representations have been extremely useful for these efforts. The study of “multilayer networks” builds on these successes but also allows one to incorporate important features of real networks (such as time-dependence, multiple types of interactions, etc.). Applications are welcome and should be made by using the application form on the conference web page (please see URL below). The number of attendees is limited. The registration fee for the international workshop is 120 Euro and should be paid by all participants. Costs for accommodation and meals will be covered by the Max Planck Institute. Limited funding is available to partially cover travel expenses. Please note that childcare is available upon request. This workshop will confront challenging issues in the study of multilayer systems via a variety of state-of-the-art approaches. It will bring together leading experts from physics, mathematics, and other fields.

Conference on Complex Networks and Climate Variability

The complex network paradigm is a fruitful tool for understanding complex systems in various areas of science. Over the last years, the research field of ‘Climate Networks’ (i.e., the application of complex network tools to climate science) has produced many novel results that have improved our understanding of complex climate phenomena. These range from predicting the El Nino/Southern Oscillation, seasonal changes in the monsoon regions, early warning indicators of climate transitions and descriptions of ocean circulation coherence. In addition, many new tools and theoretical results have been generated which facilitate the network analysis and the interpretation of the results as applied to climate data. During the conference we will discuss recent progress on Climate Networks and analyze the most promising directions of future research.

International Workshop on contagion dynamics in socio-economic systems

This symposium brings together researchers specialized in the interaction between the dynamics of information dissemination in technological networks (often called “virtual” as the agents do not necessarily know each other personally) and the society in real world. Recent examples, like the Arab Spring or the Spanish riots of May 15th, show clearly how the activities of opinion groups formed in socio-technological networks like Tweeter of others, have direct socio economic consequences in the real world.
