Commission on Complex Systems

The commission was formed in 2012. Its aim is to create an interdisciplinary scientific forum at PAU dealing with complex systems and enabling discussion and flow of information between representatives of a number of disciplines dealing with different aspects of complexity, such as mathematics, physics, biophysics, astronomy, and social sciences. The rapid development of information technology in recent decades now makes it possible to rapidly acquire, collect, and analyse data on vast complex systems of the following types: strongly correlated systems with many degrees of freedom, the internet, social networks, ecological systems, telecommunications networks, genetic networks, neural networks, and the brain. The universal laws governing such systems, which arise from their complexity and the collective interaction of their individual elements, are the subject of much interdisciplinary research within this new and rapidly developing field of knowledge.
The commission meets every six weeks and all those interested are welcome to attend.  The meetings can also be attended online. If you are interested in this means of access, please contact the chair or secretary.
