dead sea (Jordan) MACIS II  
Modelling and Analysing  
Complex Interacting Systems  
-- at ACEA 2008  


Description

This special session follows the first edition of MACIS which was held at EcoSummit 2007, may 2007, Beijing, China.

Interaction systems cover wide topics for modelling in Applied Mathematics, Computer Sciences with various applications in Ecology, Biology, Sociology, Physics and Environment.

The main purpose of this session is to bring together worldwide leading researchers and experts, to further promote and develop the cutting-edge research on complexity, chaos, bifurcation and stability in mathematical and on individual-based models, multi-agent systems and swarm intelligence in computational modeling of ecological, biological and environmental systems and more generally interacting systems.

The implications have changed our understanding of important phenomena in almost every field of science, including ecology. Complexity (or the science of complexity) is often used as a shorthand for the field that developed in the late 1980s around the use of mathematical and computational modeling of biological, economic and technological systems known as "complex systems".

Therefore, this special session has a broad interest. It will focus on equation-based, deterministic, stochastic ODE, PDE or mapping modelling of eco or bio-systems analysis; but also on individual-based, agent-based and swarm intelligence based models for the study of eco or bio-complexity and global emergent properties.

Topics of interest

Submissions are invited on all aspects of complex interactions systems, their models, theirs analysis, and the various aspects of applications. This includes, but not limited to:
  • Complex modelling methodology
  • Self-organisation modelling
  • Evolutionary models
  • Individual-based models
  • Multi-agent systems
  • Swarm intelligence
  • Complex modelling for decision support systems
  • Control and synchronisation of chaotic dynamical systems
  • Dynamics control through invariant properties
  • Dynamic graph-based models
  • Fractional dynamical systems
  • ...

Submissions and Publications

Submissions are to be made using the specific MACIS 2 easychair web page.
We are expected to publish the best papers proposed to this session for a special issue in a journal and book chapters, like we did for the previous MACIS in China.

Author Kit

The final manuscripts must respect the author kit which is available here.
