Dear Colleagues,

This is a Call for Abstracts for the Fourth International Workshop on
Guided Self-Organisation (GSO-2011) to be held at University of
Hertfordshire in Hatfield, UK, September 8-10, 2011:

http://informatics.indiana.edu/larryy/gso4/

The workshop will bring together researchers from a richly diverse
background who share interest in understanding and designing
self-organizing systems. Of particular interest are well-founded, but
general methods for characterizing such systems in a principled way
with the view of ultimately allow them to be guided toward
prespecified goals. Information theory and graph theory are core to
many of these methods, and quantifying complexity and its sources is a
common theme.

Submissions to the workshop are extended abstracts (one page). If
interested in participating, send an extended abstract (by 31 July
2011) by email to:

prokopenko.mikhail at gmail.com

The notifications are expected by 14 August 2011.

Authors of accepted submissions will present the content to the
workshop. It is expected that post-workshop publication of selected
papers will follow in a special journal issue (as has been the case
for previous GSO workshops). Please consult above website for more
information.

Best wishes,
Daniel Polani
Larry Yaeger
Mikhail Prokopenko
