ECCS'13: Satellite Meeting
INFORMATION PROCESSING IN COMPLEX SYSTEMS (IPCS'13)
Wednesday September 18th, 2013
World Trade Center, Barcelona
All systems in nature have one thing in common: they process information. Information is registered in the state of a system and its elements, implicitly and invisibly. As elements interact, information is transferred. Indeed, bits of information about the state of one element will travel – imperfectly – to the state of the other element, forming its new state. This storage and transfer of information, possibly between levels of a multi level system, is imperfect due to randomness or noise. From this viewpoint, a system can be formalized as a collection of bits that is organized according to its rules of dynamics and its topology of interactions. Mapping out exactly how these bits of information percolate through the system could reveal new fundamental insights in how the parts orchestrate to produce the properties of the system. A theory of information processing would be capable of defining a set of universal properties of dynamical multi level complex systems, which describe and compare the dynamics of diverse complex systems ranging from social interaction to brain networks, from financial markets to biomedicine. Each possible combination of rules of dynamics and topology of interactions, with disparate semantics, would reduce to a single language of information processing.
Workshop 2013 - ETH Risk Center: Vulnerability and resilience of supply chains
ETH Zurich (Switzerland), September 12-13, 2013 http://www.soms.ethz.ch/workshop2013 Topics
Supply chains as economic networks and “critical infrastructures”
Response to external shocks and inherent instabilities
Risk reduction, disaster response management, and insurance issues
The following questions will be addressed:
What kinds of hazards are there? What are the challenges?
What does the interaction of regulators and the industry look like during a critical event?
What are the critical parts in supply chains seen from the different perspectives? How can one identify them, what could be improved? Speakers

Networks are ubiquitous and the scientific discipline of network science has flourished in the last decade. As a means to study complex interactions, two particular application areas are social and information science. On the one hand side, the www as a pool of hyper-linked information can be represented with the help of networks (and this representation is the basis for google’s Page-rank algorithm), on the other hand side services like facebook, twitter or flickr provide the means for people to establish social networks of never-seen size – and hence provide the basis for what is now called computational sociology. The scope of this this summer school is to provide PhD students and early PostDocs with a comprehensive 1-week insight into the “power of networks” in an information science and social media setting. In Six to nine lectures, established and well-known researchers (from Europe, US and Asia) will present cutting-edge research as well as provide the participants with valuable insight into challenges and methods. The Summer School will take place from 10th to 15th June in Höllviken (south of Sweden, 1h by train from Copenhagen, Denmark), right after NetSci 2013. http://networkfactory2013.wordpress.com
The school is intended for postdocs, lecturers and predocs with a background in computer science (artificial intelligence) or computational linguistics (corpus linguistics or natural language processing) and a strong interest in music and the origins of language. There will be background lectures that introduce concepts from biology, anthropology, psychology, music theory and linguistics that are helpful to understand the nature of creativity, the role and intimate relations between language and music, and the mechanisms underlying cultural evolution. It contains technical lectures on the fundamental computational components required for language processing and technical ateliers to learn how to set up evolutionary linguistics experiments. Participants have the opportunity to present their latest research in a poster session. The school also features artistic ateliers in which participants create new creative works and engage in performance. Music and the Origins of Language

Adaptive networks are networks whose topologies and states dynamically interact and coevolve. Modeling and predicting the dynamics of such networks is now recognized as one of the most significant challenges in network science. STCAN 2013: NetSci 2013 Satellite Symposium on State-Topology Coevolution in Adaptive Networks solicits theoretical, computational, experimental and/or application-oriented research on any aspects of adaptive networks---either biological, social, or engineered. Its goals are to promote growth of the community on this emerging field of network research, to help develop common conceptual "languages" for modeling, analyzing and discussing the state-topology coevolution of various real-world adaptive networks, and thereby to galvanize interdisciplinary discussion and collaboration across many different areas of applications.

Global Sustainability Summer School 2013 – Complex(c)ity – urbanization and energy transitions in a changing climate July 1-12, 2013, Potsdam, Germany http://gsss-potsdam.org The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) call for applications from suitable candidates for the 2013 Global Sustainability Summer School. This event which we shall be holding in Potsdam, Germany for the second time is unique of its kind in Europe. It will bring together young scientists, professionals from governmental and non-governmental agencies as well as the private sector from around the world. This intense two-week (10 working days) programme explores global sustainability issues from a complex systems perspective with particular focus on urbanization, energy transition and climate change.. Participants are expected to attend the programme for the full 12 days (including weekend).
