Announcing the Winners from our Student Complex Systems Project Symposium

Judges reviewed a total of 24 complex-systems presentations and chose seven winners at April's Student Project Symposium. Choosing the top three in each category was not an easy task! Thank you to all who participated to make this event a success, and a special thanks to Kirsten Wright for her hard work in organizing and promoting the event. Congratulations to our winners!

Special session and workshop on ‘visualization and analysis of high-dimensional outputs from complex simulation models’ at IEMSS 2016

Analysis and visualization of the output data from complex simulation models gets increasing attention within modelling as well as within big data analysis communities. We invite you to join a thematic session and a complementary workshop on this topic (see the description below) to be held at the International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software (iEMSs’2016) in Toulouse, France, on July 10-14, 2016.

At UݮƵ and interested in human-environment interactions and ABMs? Join our Complexities in Human-Environment Interactions Working Group

If you are studying any aspect of human-environment interactions, or interested in applying complex systems theory with agent-based modeling (ABM) techniques to your research, please join our weekly discussion group.

Who can participate: any graduate/undergraduate/post-docs from a wide range of research fields, including geography, biology, urban planning, transportation system design, economics, computer science, and theoretical physics.

Meeting time: TBD, but the group will meet for one hour each week.
