The first group of students enrolled in the newly established Graduate Certificate Program in Complex Systems will begin their studies this Fall. They are from a variety of disciplines, and are all eager to learn more about the increasingly popular field of complex systems. Kerimcan Ozcan Business Admin. An integral part of the PSCS is a computer laboratory which maintains a library of software of particular relevance for those studying nonlinear and complex systems. The lab's workstations are available for on-site use, and Rick Riolo, Director of the Computer Lab, will be available for consultation during the above hours.
Consultation is also available by appointment at other times.
The lab is located in room 1061 Randall Laboratory. Over the summer, we have continued to acquire and upgrade our collection of software of interest to researchers implementing and studying complex systems. This system consists of a compiler for the Cellang cellular automata programming language, along with the corresponding documentation, viewer, and various tools. DDLab is an interactive graphics program for research into the dynamics of finite binary networks ranging from Cellular Automata to Random Boolean Networks. The program generates attractor basins, as well as space-time patterns in one or two dimensions.
