Aim and scope :

For a few years, an increasing number of researchers has been interested in the use of discrete models to study complex systems in many fields: computer science, mathematics, physics, biology, economics, social science... Many different problems were unified thanks to these studies, and a new field of research appeared. The aim of this conference is to put together researchers working on various aspects of the discrete modelling of  complex systems and to give the opportunity of fruitful exchanges.
The first issue of this conference on discrete models took place in July 2001 in Paris and received 80 participants. Its proceedings are available at: http://dmtcs.loria.fr/proceedings/dmAAind.html

The conference will consist in invited talks, contributed presentations selected after a refereeing procedure. The proceedings will be published in  DMTCS (Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, see http://dmtcs.loria.fr/), a copy of the proceedings will be provided at the conference.

DM-CS is organized by the Complex Systems Institute and will take place in Lyon (France) on June 16-19 at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon.

All researchers working on the field of discrete modelling of complex systems are invited to participate.
