Call for Papers

First International Workshop on Modelling Complex Systems (MCS 2005) http://www-ist.massey.ac.nz/rwang/conferences/MCS05.htm

in conjunction with and as a part of The International Conference on Computational Science and its Applications (ICCSA 2005), Singapore, May 9 - 12, 2005

All formatting instructions, the copyright form and the registration form can be found at ICCSA 2005 web site. For conference venue locations, special events, hotel booking and other related information please consult http://www.iccsa.org/ Workshop Description

The workshop of Modelling Complex Systems will aim at both basic and applied research on complex systems, with particular emphasis on emergent behaviour. The investigation of nonlinear processes, predictability and concepts such as order, complexity and information interdependence inform our understanding of how complex systems behave and may provide insight on the dynamics, development and control.

Examples of systems exhibiting complex and emergent behaviour may include, but is not limited to the following: . Biological systems . Physical systems . Social systems . Financial systems . Traffic ad transportation systems . Information Systems The workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers in different disciplines to explore potential for cross-fertilization of ideas in modelling complexity.

Submission of Papers and Proceedings

Full papers of 6 to 10 pages (Letter or A4 paper) for oral presentation are invited. Proceedings of the Workshop will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
