CCS 2026: The 2026 Conference on Complex Systems @ Binghamton, NY, USA. October 9 - 16

The 2026 Conference on Complex Systems will be held in Binghamton, New York, USA. Binghamton has a long history of creativity and innovation. The Greater Binghamton area has historically been called "the Valley of Opportunity" and attracted many immigrants (especially from Europe) since the mid-1800s, which has made the region's rich and diverse culture and demographics. It is the birthplace of IBM (International Business Machines), Link Flight Simulator, McIntosh Laboratory, and a number of other pioneering ventures, fostering a spirit of ingenuity that continues to thrive.

Located at the confluence of the Susquehanna river (one of the oldest rivers in the world) and the Chenango river, the region boasts stunning natural beauty and offers ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, from hiking and biking to fishing and kayaking. In particular, in mid-October when CCS 2026 is held, the Binghamton area will showcase its renowned and breathtaking fall foliage. Furthermore, a vibrant arts and culture scene flourishes here, with numerous galleries, theaters, and music venues providing enriching experiences.

CCS 2026 will be held primarily in person on the main campus at Binghamton University, with an online participation option via Zoom.

Ethics of Complexity Science: Challenges and Perspectives. Zurich and Online. October 9, 2025

Ethics of Complexity Science: Challenges and Perspectives. Zurich and Online. October 9, 2025 | CxConferences | Scoop.it

Complexity science studies how a large collection of components can spontaneously self-organize to exhibit non-trivial, unpredictable global structures and behaviors at larger scales, having many applications with daily life impacts, e.g., climate change, financial markets, healthcare, polarization, and technological networks. Characteristics of these systems, such as having non-linear emerging dynamics and being adaptive, pose unique ethical challenges, as traditional normative ethical approaches often struggle to account for such dynamic and intricate interactions.

This one-day interdisciplinary workshop aims at bridging the gap between researchers in complexity science and ethics and offers a new perspective on why ethics discussions are necessary in such a complex research realm.

ANTS 2026: 15th International Conference on Swarm Intelligence, June 8-10, 2026. Darmstadt, Germany

ANTS 2026: 15th International Conference on Swarm Intelligence, June 8-10, 2026. Darmstadt, Germany | CxConferences | Scoop.it

Since its inception in 1998, ANTS has been a highly selective, single-track meeting that provided a forum for discussing advances in the field of swarm intelligence. It solicits submissions presenting significant, original research from researchers and practitioners of any area related to swarm intelligence.

Swarm intelligence is an interdisciplinary and rapidly evolving field, rooted in the study of self-organizing processes in both natural and artificial systems. Researchers from disciplines ranging from ethology to statistical physics have developed models that explain collective phenomena, such as decision-making in social insect colonies and collective movements in human crowds. Swarm-inspired algorithms and methods have proven effective in solving complex optimization problems and creating multi-robot and networked systems of unparalleled resilience, adaptability and scalability. Applications of swarm intelligence continue to grow and become increasingly critical for addressing societal challenges such as environmental sustainability, food security, health, and global conflicts.

The 2026 edition’s theme is "reaching beyond - swarm intelligence across systems, disciplines, and communities". The meeting seeks to encourage new perspectives, help bridge traditional boundaries and enable open debate on what could be ambitious, exploratory, and groundbreaking endeavors to embark on.

Alessandro Cerboni's curator insight, August 16, 8:25 AM
Fin dalla sua nascita nel 1998, l'ANTS è stato un incontro altamente selettivo e monotematico che ha offerto un forum per discutere i progressi nel campo dell'intelligenza di sciame. L'evento sollecita contributi che presentino ricerche significative e originali da parte di ricercatori e professionisti di qualsiasi area correlata all'intelligenza di sciame. L'intelligenza di sciame è un campo interdisciplinare e in rapida evoluzione, radicato nello studio dei processi di auto-organizzazione nei sistemi sia naturali che artificiali. Ricercatori provenienti da discipline che spaziano dall'etologia alla fisica statistica hanno sviluppato modelli che spiegano fenomeni collettivi, come il processo decisionale nelle colonie di insetti sociali e i movimenti collettivi nelle folle umane. Algoritmi e metodi ispirati all'intelligenza di sciame si sono dimostrati efficaci nel risolvere complessi problemi di ottimizzazione e nel creare sistemi multi-robot e in rete di ineguagliabile resilienza, adattabilità e scalabilità. Le applicazioni dell'intelligenza di sciame continuano a crescere e diventano sempre più critiche per affrontare sfide sociali come la sostenibilità ambientale, la sicurezza alimentare, la salute e i conflitti globali. Il tema dell'edizione 2026 è "Andare oltre: l'intelligenza collettiva attraverso sistemi, discipline e comunità". L'incontro si propone di incoraggiare nuove prospettive, contribuire a superare i confini tradizionali e consentire un dibattito aperto su quali potrebbero essere iniziative ambiziose, esplorative e rivoluzionarie da intraprendere.

Complex thinking and artificial intelligence, October 28, 2024, Online

Workshop | October 28, 2024, 13h00-19h30 (GMT+1), Online


Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT have also opened new possibilities for Human-AI interaction towards systems of co and augmented intelligence. On the other hand, developments regarding the practice of complex thinking, as a mode of coupling with the world that is organisationally coherent with the properties that organise complex natural and social systems, has been proposed as potentially leading to more effective ecosystemically positive and sustainable possibilities for action. It is hypothesised that more complex modes of thinking may lead to creative and abductive leaps capable of guiding effective interventions and the process of managing change in “real-world” complex systems, in conditions of uncertainty and risk.  The CT & AI project will explore possibilities and limits of the interaction of a framework for the practice and promotion of Complex Thinking (CT) with AI tools based on LLMs (e.g. Chat GPT, Gemini). It aimed at developing and evaluating preliminary protocols to guide the integration of methods and tools for promoting CT with the use of AI tools towards generating complex understandings for practice and research. Finally, it aimed at exploring stakeholders (policy-makers, practitioners, scientists/academics) stances regarding the use of AI in relation to CT.

School on Biological Physics across Scales: Pattern Formation. November 11 – 22, 2024,  São Paulo, Brazil

School on Biological Physics across Scales: Pattern Formation. November 11 – 22, 2024,  São Paulo, Brazil | CxConferences | Scoop.it

Systems as different as the cellular cytoskeleton, microbial communities in soil, and savanna landscapes have in common the emergence of patterns: random yet organized spatial structures that form in an otherwise translationally invariant space. These structures emerge due to the local, individual-level interactions of agents – proteins, cells, trees – that, on a larger scale, result in nonlinear dynamics for the density field. Crucial phenomena hinge on the formation of these patterns: mitosis, embryo development, bacterial population survival, ecosystem’s robustness to aridification.

While broadly different in scale, these systems can be theoretically described by similar statistical physics frameworks, an approach pioneered by Alan Turing in 1952 and still the focus of very active development. The goal of this school is to bring together experts on these different systems using mathematical modeling, experimental approaches and modern data-driven techniques to engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue about pattern formation in living systems.

There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel and local expenses.

ICTP – SAIFR » Minicourse on Bayesian Machine Learning for Scientific Research

ICTP – SAIFR » Minicourse on Bayesian Machine Learning for Scientific Research | CxConferences | Scoop.it

October 28 – November 1, 2024

São Paulo, Brazil

ICTP-SAIFR/IFT-UNESP


We will present five 3-hour lectures that will introduce participants to the world of Bayesian Machine Learning for scientific purposes. The minicourse is tailored to suit both senior and junior researchers, catering to their respective levels of experience and interest.

In the first block of each lecture, we aim to transmit the big picture of the lecture’s topic with a focus on the details from a supervising point of view. The fine points and subtleties will be addressed here, but without strict demonstrations or supplied code. This block is intended for both seniors and juniors: for seniors as a summary that shows how to apply these tools to scientific research; and for juniors as an entrance to the second block in which we put our hands in the dough. We conclude the block with an extended coffee break where we expect that the proposed ideas trigger discussions around each participant’s field of study and how to apply it in their data.

The second block is very hands-on and is intended for juniors, but seniors interested in getting actively involved in the calculations are welcome as well. We present, discuss and write code. Participants are engaged in coding exercises and discussing practical applications. This block emphasizes practical skills and real-world problem-solving. We use different libraries, and we deploy statistical software especially designed to tackle the presented problems

The minicourse is generally designed for any scientific career. We use mostly physics examples, but the material will be useful and insightful for any other field with hard scientific research. We will try to adapt and discuss the problems within the participants’ fields of research.

Participants are expected to have taken courses in algebra and analysis, be familiar with multi-dimensional vectors and expressions, have some knowledge of probability and statistics, and be prepared for non-trivial abstract reasoning and thinking. Juniors, in addition, are expected to have some knowledge of Python.

There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for local expenses.
