Complexity is a familiar theme in the organisational sciences.
The work of scientists such as Ilya Prigogine, Nicolis, Stuart Kauffman, John Holland, Brian Goodwin and many others in biology, chemistry, evolution, mathematics, physics and the computational sciences, raise fundamental questions about the nature of complex adaptive systems studied by both the natural and social sciences. All papers submitted will be subject to a blind review process. For those unable to present a paper but wishing to contribute to the conference, a special session will be organised for the informal presentation of work in progress. This is intended as an inter-disciplinary, conference of 130 to 200 participants open to both academics and the business community.
