Međunarodna radionica: "Describing Complex Systems 2005"

Palača Matice hrvatske, Strossmayerov trg 4, Zagreb

Međunarodna radionica

Razumijevanje strukture i dinamike složenih sustava s naglaskom na mogućnost djelomičnog određivanja njihova budućeg stanja bitno je za dugotrajan i harmoničan razvoj većine društvenih i ostalih složenih sustava.
Sadašnji pristup opisivanju složenih sustava redovito je interdisciplinaran i kreće od filozofskih temelja do sociopsiholoških proučavanja struktura i funkcija te prirodnog i matematičkog oblikovanja. Upitno je da li se takav oblik opisivanja bavi svim postojećim aspektima. S jedne strane to je posljedica različitih metodologija, a s druge fokusiranja na različite aspekte složenih sustava. Imajući to na umu, interdisciplinaran opis javlja se kao moguće nadilaženje problematičnih točaka.
Namjera radionice je povezivanje interdisciplinarnih skupina znanstvenika i stručnjaka koji opisuju društvene i ostale kompleksne sisteme s metodologijama koje proistječu iz različitih znanosti kao što su društvena, prirodna, ekonomske i humanističke znanosti da bi se kritički vrednovali postojeći pristupi u cilju mogućeg oblikovanje naprednijih interdisciplinarnih skupina. Cilj radionice je pružiti znanstvenicima, stručnjacima i studentima suvremene opise kompleksnih sustava kao i projekcije i jasne vodilje za buduće optimalne deskripciju bez apriornog povlađivanja jednoj metodologiji.
Ova radionica predstavlja integriranu verziju sljedeće dvije radionice: 8. međunarodne radionice na temu «Kompleksni sustavi u prirodnim i društvenim znanostima» (CSNSS) i 2. radionice na temu: «Interdisciplinarni opis kompleksnih sustav» (INDECIS).

Teme koje će se među ostalima obrađivati na radionici jesu:
- nelinearni modeli u prirodnim, društvenim i ekonomskim znanostima
- sinergetičke i termodinamičke studije socio-ekonomskih sustava
- kompleksni network
- stohastički modeli financijskog tržišta
- kolektivna priroda procesa oblikovanja stava
- ireverzibilne termodinamike
- termodinamičke zapreke ekonomske aktivnosti




Introduction

Understanding of structure and dynamics of complex systems, with emphasis on the possibility for their partial determination of their future states, is substantial for long-term, harmonic development of majority of social and other complex systems. Present approach to complex systems description regularly is interdisciplinary, ranging from phylosophical foundations, to socio-psychological considerations of structures and functions, to physical, computational and mathematical modelling. Description is accompanied with the questionable covering of the totality of aspects. That is on the one hand consequence of the different methodologies, and on the other of focusing on the different aspects of complex systems. Having that in mind, the interdisciplinary description arises as a possible surpassing of the questionable points.

Purpose of the Workshop is bringing together the interdisciplinary groups of scientists and experts describing social and other complex systems, with methodologies originating in diverse sciences, like social, natural, economic sciences and humanities, in order to critically evaluate existing approaches for possible forming of improved interdisciplinary groups. The Workshop objective is to provide the interested scientists, experts and students with the contemporary complex systems descriptions as well as with the projections and clear guidelines of optimal further description, without a priori favouring of any methodology.

The particular topics addressed at the Workshop will, among others, be

• nonlinear models in natural, social and economic sciences
• synergetic and thermodynamical studies of socio-economic systems
• agent based modelling
• complex networks
• stochastic models of financial markets and option pricing
• collective character of opinion formation processes
• irreversible thermodynamics
• thermodynamic constraints of economic activity

  This Workshop is integrated version of the two related Workshops; the 8^th international Workshop on Complex Systems in Natural and Social Sciences (CSNSS), and the 2^nd Workshop Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems (INDECS).

  The total number of participants will be limited to 40 persons. There is no fee for the Workshop.
