Since 2021
“for exploring the complex world”
Nonlinear Science Working Group
Since 2001, the Nonlinear Science Working Group has been serving the complexity science community by organizing the Disordered Systems Symposia (DSS), one of the oldest and longest-running international events dedicated to disordered systems, complexity, and nonlinearity. DSS provides a vital platform that brings together leading specialists, early-career researchers, and participants from diverse fields to exchange ideas, foster collaboration, and advance research in complexity science.
We also continue two initiatives introduced to further serve and expand the community. The Murray Gell-Mann Memorial Lectures honor his pioneering contributions to complexity science and his visionary spirit. The WOMPLEXITY initiative promotes the visibility of women in complexity science. These efforts demonstrate our ongoing commitment to supporting diversity, inclusion, and excellence within the complexity science community.
DSS welcomes contributed talks on wide variety of complex systems research.
The topics are following (but are not limited to) :
- Theoretical foundations of complex systems
- Nonlinear dynamics and chaos
- Structure and dynamics of complex networks
- Data-driven approaches to complex systems
- Computation and information processing in complex systems
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence in the context of complex systems
- Complexity in economics and finance
- Complexity in social systems
- Complexity in ecological systems
- Cognition, psychology and neurosciences
- Complexity in biology and health sciences
- Complexity in city science, mobility and transport
- Complexity in energy, environment, sustainability, climate and global change
- Applications to linguistics, literature, humanities, art
- Historical and philosophical aspects of complex systems
- Complex systems and education
