Description

The 4th ECCS world's largest gathering of researchers in COMPLEX SYSTEMS will be held in Dresden, Germany, on 1-5 October, 2007. You are cordially invited to submit a paper to our Satellite Conference in this Conference, which is the second one following the one we organized in the 2nd European conference of ECCS in Paris, France in 2005, see EPNADS'05 and the edited book (by Springer) which is the outcome of this first EPNADS meeting.

The aim in this Satellite Conference is to study EMERGENT PROPERTIES arising through dynamical processes in various types of natural and artificial systems. The session is concerned with multidisciplinary approaches for getting representations of complex systems and using different methods to extract emergent structures. Equations formulation can lead to the study of emergent features such as self organization, opening on stability and robustness properties. Invariant techniques can express global emergent properties in complex and dynamical evolution systems. Artificial systems such as a distributed platform for simulation can be used to search emergent placement during simulation execution. Special attention is paid to bio-complexity (but not limited to this topic) where global emergent properties can be detected.

Submission

Prospective authors are invited to submit an abstract or a complete manuscript using the following Easychair web site Easychair for Epnacs 2007. Please follow the instructions of this website and start to register and obtain an account as an author. This will allow you to follow the submission and review processing and to be added in the mailing list.

Author kit

The final version of the articles for submission must be sent by email using the LaTeX Springer author kit archive.

This author kit is intended for multi-authors book and a part of the material is intended to the editors. You will have to focus only on the author material and documentation. In this archive, you will find a LaTeX example, author.tex, in the directory templates. The final result is given by the file authsamp.pdf. The style to use is in the directory styles. Some documentation are included, especialy, quickstart.pdf and authinst.pdf.

Proceedings

All the accepted papers will be published in a special edition ... May be as a book within Springer Underdtanding Complex Systems series.

Other important information will be done online, ASAP, on this web-page.
