Call for Satellites: Conference on Complex Systems 2017

As usual with the Conferences on Complex Systems, apart form the main tracks of the conference, there will be two full days of satellites (Wednesday, September 20th and Thursday, September 21st). We therefore call for satellite proposals for half a day or full day events. Satellite organizers are responsible for promoting, organizing, reviewing, and scheduling their session.

Scientifically sound proposals should be less than 1000 words, including scope of the satellite, goals, tentative program (format, half-day/full day, invited speakers), estimated attendance, and organizers.

Proposals should be submitted in PDF format to satellites@ccs17.unam.mx

1st Call for Abstracts: Conference on Complex Systems 2017

The flagship conference of the Complex Systems Society will go to Latin America for the first time in 2017. The Mexican complex systems community is enthusiast to welcome colleagues to one of our richest destinations: Cancun.

The conference will include presentations by Mario Molina (Environment, Nobel Prize in Chemistry), Ranulfo Romo (neuroscience), Antonio Lazcano (origins of life), Marta González (human mobility), Dirk Brockmann (epidemiology), Stefano Battiston (economics) John Quackenbush (computational biology), and many more.

Assistant/Associate/Full Professor in the Network Science Institute

The Network Science Institute (NetSI) is a multi-disciplinary research community supporting innovative research and training in network science. The successful candidate will join an outstanding interdisciplinary community represented by 10 core faculty members representing 7 departments, including Physics, Computer science, Political Science, Business, Health Science, Communications, and Mathematics. 

The successful candidate will be offered a departmental tenure home commensurate with their expertise. NetSI is dedicated to creating synergy among faculty expertise, across departments and colleges, with shared computing infrastructure, active lecture series and vibrant collaborative research opportunities. Candidates’ are expected to actively engage our distinctive interdisciplinary, collaborative culture. Candidate’s research plans should extend beyond their home discipline to engage with other fields in other domains of network sciences. Substantive foci are open and broad, including network structure and dynamics, spreading and diffusion, relational and clustered modeling, automated mining of qualitative data, theoretical physics and computational models of social processes, and computationally intensive data collection and analysis.
