Exystence Thematic Institute Discrete and Computational
Aspects Complex
System Institute Lyon, June 16 - July 4 2003 |

The purpose of EXYSTENCE, the European Complex Systems Network of Excellence, is to develop collaboration among European research scientists interested in Complex Systems from fundamental concepts to applications, and involving academia, business and industry.
Thematic Institutes are among several practical efforts to foster collaborations.
The idea is to have a number of invited scientists (15-25) working
together for extended (and possibly recurrent) periods of time, e.g.
month(s) at the same location. The inspiration for such an arrangement
come from other institutions such as the Santa Fe Institute, Princeton
(and Jerusalem) Institutes for Advanced Studies, Aspen Center for physics,
the Newton Institute and the Emile Borel center in Europe.
The first institute has been held during May 2002 in Trieste (ICTP http://www.ictp.trieste.it/). The
general theme was complex systems, focusing on networks, dynamics, sociophysics
and economics.
This call concerns the second institute that will take place from June
16 to July 4 2003 at the Ecole
Normale Supérieure de Lyon. A particular focus will be put
on the discrete and computational aspects of the modeling of complex
systems.
The Thematic Institute will start by the international conference Discrete Models for Complex
Systems that will be held in Ecole Normale Supérieure de
Lyon from June 16 to June 19 2003.
- Access to the Ecole Normale Supérieure during the week-end or
the evening: go to the "Accueil" at the entrance and just show your badge.
- A mailing list of all the participants has been created, just use the
