This course will give an overview of the opportunities that complex systems provides in research and in applications. Several approaches to the study of complex systems will be described, basic concepts will be introduced and implications for the study of physical, biological, social and engineered systems will be presented. A significant part of the program will be devoted to open discussion. Open Late Breaking Results Conference Open conference in which participants can present their recent research results. Individual presentations will be limited to 5-10 minutes depending on the number of presentations registered.
All complex systems related subjects are welcome.
Charles DeLisi was instrumental in initiating and planning the early phases of the Human Genome Project. The first government scientist to outline the feasibility, goals, and parameters of the Human Genome Project, he helped to galvanize an international team of researchers to pool resources, create new technologies, and launch the monumental task of gene mapping and sequencing. DeLisi is currently Arthur G.B. Metcalf Professor of Science and Engineering at Boston University and Director of the All University Doctoral Program in Bioinformatics. He will speak on experimental and computational progress and challenges in massively parallel gene studies. Participants may attend the banquet talk without attending the banquet.
