A one day course, Introduction to Complex Systems, will be offered on Sunday, March 25, 2001. This course will give an introduction to 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 biological, social and engineered systems will be discussed.
Space is limited.
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. Irvine This is an open conference in which participants can present their recent research results. Individual presentations will be assigned 15 or 30 minutes.
