Areas represented at recent conferences have included neuroscience, biology, medical research, economics, sociology, anthropology, physics, political science, psychology, organizations and management, education, art, philosophy, and literature. The program will include single papers, symposia, and roundtable or other special sessions. Subject matter may be theoretical or applied, and may be empirically or methodologically oriented. We especially encourage submissions aligned with this year s conference theme. These agents have the capability to learn, plan, search, perform tasks, and communicate, but are also constrained by bounded rationality.
Related work involves cellular automata to study complex physical and social systems.
In addition to using the computer to simulate complexity, researchers have also shown great interest in using the computer to visualize complexity. Relevant research issues include the visualization of fractals, using color and space to denote dynamical behavior, various pattern recognition tools such as recurrence plots, and the cognitive response of humans to such visualizations. Following our lead from last year, the conference will also have two to three guest speakers and a brainstorming session on the current state and future of the society and nonlinear science in general. We also strongly encourage collections of individuals to propose symposia that combine individual presentations with group and roundtable discussion. He will be discussing The Complexities of Complex Economic Systems .
