ABOUT CS-DC'15 ( http://cs-dc-15.org/ ):

 

CS-DC'15 is the first world e-conference organized by the Complex Systems
Digital Campus (CS-DC), a UNESCO UniTwin (University Twinning Program)
composed of more than a hundred universities in 28 countries. It is part of
CCS'15, the annual conference of the Complex Systems Society: (
http://www.ccs2015.org/ ). CS-DC'15 exemplifies the new "socially
intelligent" strategies for sharing education and research resources that
are the main commitment of CS-DC in its Cooperation Program signed with
UNESCO. The 10 e-tracks of CS-DC'15 are:

 

   1) Reconstructing Multi-Scale Dynamics (RMSD)

   2) Multi-Level Modeling (MLM)

   3) Multi-Level Governance (MLG)

## 4) Engineering and Control of Self-Organization (ECSO) ##

   5) Foundations of Complex Systems Science (FCSS)

   6) From Particles to Complex Matter (PCM)

   7) From Molecules to Organisms and Ecosystems (MOE)

   8) From Individual to Social Cognition (ISC)

   9) From Fields to Territories to the Planet (FTP)

   10) From Molecules to Ecosphere (ME)

 

   Program Chair: Paul Bourgine

   Organization Chair: Pierre Collet

 

CS-DC'15 is breaking new ground by enabling participation in a major
scientific event without conference fees and without the need to travel -- a
concept at the heart of the international UNESCO UniTwin, embracing
scientists from low-income and distant countries. All selected presentations
are given via a videoconference system. They are recorded and can be
replayed later on for research and education purposes without time limit.
The e-sessions of CS-DC'15 are organized inside e-tracks inspired by the
chapters of the roadmap on complex systems.

 

 

ABOUT ECSO ( http://cs-dc-15.org/e-tracks/ecso ):

 

The ECSO e-track (#4) features innovative cross-disciplinary fields that
attempt to solve, at their core, the paradox of "engineering and controlling
self-organization" in various ways. It purports to be a unifying pole
between two big families: complex systems and engineeering, which are
traditionally not communicating, yet have witnessed the rise of a new,
unofficial intersection populated with numerous original ideas and topics.
It will be featuring invited talks in the following areas:

 

   * Organic Computing (Christoph von der Malsburg)

   * Synthetic Biology (Franck Delaplace)

   * Complex Systems Engineering (Seth Bullock)

   * Pervasive Adaptation (Jeremy Pitt)

   * Guided Self-Organization (Mikhail Prokopenko)

   * Decentralized Sensor Networks (Matt Duckham)

   * Spatial Computing (Antoine Spicher)

   * Evolutionary Collective Robotics (Nicolas Bredeche)

   * Artificial Chemistries (Lidia Yamamoto)

   * Autonomic Computing (Ada Diaconescu)

   * Morphogenetic Engineering (Rene Doursat)

   * Swarm Chemistry (Hiroki Sayama)

   * Collective Construction (Justin Werfel)

   * Soft/Amorphous Robotics (John Rieffel)
