>June 20-24, 2011
>
>
>
>This course offers an introduction to the essential concepts of 
>complex systems and related mathematical methods and simulation 
>strategies with application to physical, biological and social 
>systems. The course will particularly focus on the use of multiscale 
>representations as a unifying approach to complex systems concepts, 
>methods and applications.
>
>
>
>Concepts to be discussed include: emergence, complexity, networks, 
>self-organization, pattern formation, evolution, adaptation, 
>fractals, chaos, cooperation, competition, attractors, 
>interdependence, scaling, dynamic response, information, and 
>function.
>
>
>
>Methods to be discussed include: statistical methods, cellular 
>automata, agent-based modeling, pattern recognition, system 
>representation and informatics.
