عندما توفي بينوا ماندلبروت العام الماضي، اعتقدت أنه سيكون من الجميل أن إعادة قراءة له (سوء) سلوك الأسواق. رمزا 8220 باي تحية 8221 لهذا المنشق البصيرة. لقد استمتعت حقا الكتاب أول مرة جولة وأنه لا يزال يقرأ بشكل جيد للغاية. هو أكثر من كتاب 8220vulgarisation8221، يحكي قصة كيف طور ماندلبروت نظريته من فركتلات (هو قراءة سهلة وسريعة: لا معادلة واحدة في النص الرئيسي) وكيف يمكن أن تكون النماذج ذات الصلة (أو حتى توفير جديد النموذج) في الأسواق المالية. ينقسم الكتاب إلى جزئين رئيسيين: أولا نظرية التمويل الحديث الكلاسيكية، عارض في وقت لاحق وجهة نظر كسورية ماندلبروت 8217s من الأسواق، والمخاطر، والخراب والمكافأة 8211 حيث يقدم له اثنين من مكونات النموذج الرئيسي: H. أس من الاعتماد على السعر والألفا. المعلمة تميز التقلب. تاريخ نظرية التمويل الحديث يتتبع ماندلبروت أصول نظرية التمويل الحديث إلى عالم الرياضيات الفرنسي غير المعروف: لويس باشلييه، الذي نشر في عام 1900 أطروحته ثوري دي لا سبكولاتيون، التي تجاهلها معظمهم في ذلك الوقت. قدمت نظرية نموذجها الرئيسي: المشي العشوائي أو حركة البنيان، والتي تشكل جزءا كبيرا من نظرية المالية الحديثة 8217s المؤسسات. انها ليست حتى 19608217s أن Bachelier8217s الأفكار اللحاق بالركب، عندما تترجم إلى الإنجليزية وإعادة نشرها. Fama8217s فرضية السوق الفعالة تمثل ببساطة نسخة أوسع من العمل Bachelier8217s، والتي 8220 ينبغي أن تتطور إلى صرح كبير من الاقتصاد الحديث والتمويل (وخمس ميداليات نوبل التذكارية في العلوم الاقتصادية) 8221. يعرض ماندلبروت أولا حجر الأساس في التمويل الحديث قبل أن يجادل بوجود عيوب أساسية في النظرية: إن اللبنات الأساسية التي بنيت عليها دار التمويل الحديثة كلها تجلس على الأسس النظرية التي وضعتها باشيلير منذ قرن مضى. يقول هذا الكتاب أن الأساس يحتاج إلى إعادة صب، قبل إجراء أي مزيد من الإصلاحات إلى المبنى. لنفهم لماذا هذا الأمر، دعونا ننظر أولا عن كثب في هيكل كما هو موجود اليوم عرض التمويل الحديث هو إعادة جدولة للاهتمام للاهتمام كيف شكلت النظرية نفسها في جميع أنحاء مختلف التطورات. ويبدأ مع هاري ماركويتز، الذي طبق نظرية Bachelier8217s لتطوير نظريته الحافظة الحديثة باستخدام نموذج التباين المتوسط. وغالبا ما يعتبر هذا بداية الهندسة المالية. ثم تبسيط وليام شارب بعض من Markowitz8217s العمل مع نموذج تسعير الأصول الرأسمالية. اتبعت بلاك و سكولز حذوها من خلال المساهمة في نموذج التسعير الخيار الشهير المسمى. ويصف الكتاب الاكتشافات ويشرح المفاهيم الرئيسية أكثر تفصيلا، مما يجعل خلاصة مثيرة للاهتمام. ولكن بعد ذلك، ماندلبروت يبدأ في تفكيك هذه النظريات: الصرح كله معلقة معا 8211 شريطة أن تفترض باشيلييه وتلاميذه في اليوم الأخير صحيحة. التباين والانحراف المعياري هما بديلان جيدان للمخاطر، كما طرح ماركويتز 8211 شريطة أن يصف منحنى الجرس بشكل صحيح كيفية تحرك الأسعار. تقديرات بيتا شارب 8217s وتكلفة رأس المال من المنطقي 8211 قدمت ماركويتز هو الحق، وبدوره، باشيلير هو الحق. و بلاك سكولز هو الصحيح 8211 مرة أخرى، شريطة أن نفترض أن منحنى الجرس هو ذات الصلة وأن الأسعار تتحرك بشكل مستمر. إن هذا الصرح الفكري مجتمعة هو شهادة غير عادية على الإبداع البشري. ولكن كله ليس أقوى من أضعف أعضائه بقية الجزء الأول من كتاب أشكال قضية Mandelbrot8217s ضد نظرية حديثة من المالية. في ذلك، ويوضح أن بعض الافتراضات في نماذج خاطئة، والاقتراض من مبادئ التمويل السلوكي، نذكر أن المستثمرين ليست عقلانية على سبيل المثال. أسهل الافتراض لدحض استخدام حقائق بسيطة، هو أن التغيرات في الأسعار بعد حركة البنيان. وجود دهون الذيل في توزيع عائدات السوق أو تأثير P / E هي أدلة من هذا القبيل تتناقض مع النظرية. هنا، ماندلبروت يأخذ على سبيل المثال استراتيجية متوسط ​​متحرك بسيط مربحة: وهناك مجموعة كبيرة من الآن حتى الآن من البحوث الاقتصادية تشير إلى أن هناك، في الواقع، المال الذي يتعين القيام به في مثل 8220 ترند استراتيجية 8221 التالية. فركتلات تطبق على الأسواق ماندلبروت هو مخترع فركتلات. في الواقع صاغ هذا المصطلح وأسس فرعا جديدا من الرياضيات على أساس هندسة كسورية. لقد كان حياتي 8217s العمل لتطوير أداة رياضية جديدة لإضافة إلى man8217s بقاء عدة. أسميه الهندسة كسورية ومتعددة الفصول. ومن دراسة خشونة، من غير النظامية وخشنة. أنا صاغ اسمها في عام 1975. كسورية هو من كسور. الماضي، بسبب، فرانجير. لكسر، كما تم تذكير من قبل واحدة من بلدي bab887s القواميس اللاتينية. الجذر نفسه يبقى في العديد من الكلمات الشائعة، بما في ذلك جزء وشظية. لقد طورت هذه الأفكار على مدى عقود عديدة من التجوال الفكري 8211 التي جمعت معا العديد من القطع الأثرية الضالة والمنسية والغير مستكشفة والتي تبدو غير ذات صلة وقضايا الماضي الرياضي، وتمتد في كل اتجاه، وخلقت هيئة جديدة ومتماسكة من الرياضيات. وقد حان الهندسة كسورية ليتم النظر إليها على أنها 8220natural8221. وهي تستخدم اليوم لمجموعة متنوعة من المهام التي لا يمكن تجنبها: ضغط الصور الرقمية عبر الإنترنت، وقياس الهياكل الفوقية، وتحليل موجات الدماغ في آلة التخطيط الدماغي، وتصميم هوائيات الراديو الصغيرة جدا، وتحسين الكابلات البصرية، ودراسة تشريح الرئة شعب هوائية. بعد مقدمة ل فركتلات بشكل عام، الجزء الثاني يغوص في اثنين من المبادئ الرئيسية لنظرية Mandelbrot8217s. الأول هو التحجيم كسورية. أساسا على حقيقة أن التغيرات في أسعار السوق لا تتبع التوزيع الغوسي ولكن بدلا من ذلك توزيع قانون السلطة، الذي تنخفض فيه ذيول أبطأ بكثير من في منحنى الجرس عادة ما يفترض (أي ذيل الدهون)، مما يعطي تباين لانهائي وشرح لماذا تحركات الأسعار المتطرفة هي أكثر تواترا مما كان متوقعا من 8220classic8221 نماذج 8211 شيء ما يمكن القول أنه سبب وجيه للاتجاه التالي للعمل. يصف ماندلبروت كيف جاء إلى هذا الاستنتاج بدءا من دراسته لأسعار القطن في عام 1961 أثناء العمل كباحث عب، ويأتي عبر مفاهيم مماثلة من قبل جورج زيبف، فيلفريد باريتو أو بول ليفي. وتتميز توزيعات قانون الطاقة من قبل ألفا المعلمة التي تصف مدى سرعة انسياب ذيول (أي ربط كثافة إلى تردد). المفهوم الرئيسي الثاني هو أن الذاكرة طويلة أو الاعتماد على المدى الطويل. تتميز ه الأسير H. تقدم ماندلبروت، التي تقدم بعض الدراسات في هيدرولوجيا نهر النيل، مفهوم استمرارية الاتجاه في الظاهرة الطبيعية: ففترات الفيضانات أو الجفاف تميل إلى أن تظهر في شرائط: فهي تظهر ارتباطا متسلسلا أطول وأطول مما يتوقعه المرء. ويظهر تطبيق حسابات مماثلة لأسعار السوق أن الأدوات المالية تعرض أكثر (استمرار الاتجاه) أو أقل (المضادة للاستمرار) الذاكرة على المدى الطويل من الحالة العادية (عندما H 0.5). ولقياس هذين التأثيرين، قمت بتطوير أدوات إحصائية جديدة. بعض التركيز على ألفا، ومؤشر المذكورة سابقا. وسوق ألفا منخفض سيكون محفوفا بالمخاطر، وعرضة لتقلبات الأسعار البرية. السوق مع ألفا أعلى يختلف أقل من الكلاسيكية عملة-- القذف السوق. آخر من بلدي الاختبار الإحصائي التركيز على H. معامل هيرست للاعتماد على المدى البعيد الموصوفة سابقا. و H من نصف يعني أن كل تغيير السعر مستقل عن آخر. H أكبر يقترح البيانات هي 8220persistent8221، تتجه في نفس الاتجاه. أصغر H يعني 8220anti - استمرار 8221، ميل إلى مضاعفة مرة أخرى على أنفسهم. لفصل اثنين من الآثار، يقاس H و ألفا. أنا وضعت اختبارا إحصائيا يسمى ريسكالد تحليل مجموعة أو R / S. وهو من النوع المعروف من قبل الإحصائيين كما 8220non-parametric8221، والاختبارات التي لا تجعل افتراضات مبسطة حول كيفية تنظيم البيانات. الآن، كما مصير سيكون لها، في بعض الظروف هذه الآثار اثنين مترابطة بشكل وثيق جدا أن H يساوي ببساطة 1 / ألفا. تأخذ قضية النقود عملة: لها H هو نصف و ألفا اثنين. رياضيا العلاقة بين التأثيرين هو عميق جدا أنه يقدم ما يدعو علماء الرياضيات علاقة مزدوجة. ماندلبروت ثم يعرض بسرعة له 8220current أفضل model8221 كيف يعمل السوق، والكسور حركة براونية من الوقت متعدد الفترات. وكيفية استخدامها لتوليد بيانات السوق الاصطناعية بيانيا تظهر H المطلوب والألفا. خيبة الأمل في الاستنتاج ينتهي الكتاب دون تطبيق عملي مباشر للمفاهيم كسورية لتداول أو إدارة الأموال، والتي يمكن أن تكون مخيبة للآمال لبعض القراء. ماندلبروت ليس خجولا من الاعتراف بأن عمله لا يزال في التقدم، وتطويرها من قبل أجيال أخرى. في الواقع، يمكن مقارنة نماذجه مع نماذج باشيلييه، التي استغرقت عقود للبدء في تطبيق عملي في مجال التمويل. ومع ذلك، فإن المفاهيم الجديدة مثيرة للاهتمام ويمكن أن تعطي بعض الغذاء للفكر لمزيد من البحث. لقد حاولت قبل فترة من الوقت لتنفيذ واستخدام تحليل تحليل نطاق ريسكالد للتداول دون الكثير من النجاح.

My work has been supported by a Carolina Postdoc for Faculty Diversity at UNC, NIH Fellowship in the Program in Interdisciplinary Biological and Biomedical Sciences, a Shadle Fellowship from the American Society of Mammalogists, the Tinker Foundation and the Latin American and Iberian Institute at UNM, The Sigma Xi Scientific Society, the Santa Fe Institute, and the National Science Foundation. Daniel M. Busiello Ph. D. Student at University of Padua 5 January 1991, Salerno (Italy). I am at present a Graduate student in Physics, University of Padua (Italy), supervised by prof. Amos Maritan. 2014: Italian degree similar to a masters degree in Physics, University of Pisa (Italy), Top grade. 2012: Italian degree similar to a bachelors degree in Physics, University of Salerno (Italy), Top grade. 2009: High school leaving qualification in classical studies, Classical Lyceum Francesco De Sanctis, Salerno (Italy). Initially the scientific interest has been devoted to quantum information, in particular studying the properties of the entanglement and Von Neumanns entropy. Successively focused attention to complex systems, like auto-organization phenomena and reaction-diffusion dynamics: in this context Turing patterns formation plays a fundamental role. The latter has been investigated for anisotropic continuous domains, Cartesian product networks and also for multiplex networks. In the last year the interest was on the problem of controllability in complex networks and on the role of interactions in ecosystems. At this moment the research is directed toward the entropy production of out of equilibrium systems and the meaning of its extremum principles. Publications: Phys. Rev. E 90, 042814 (2014) Sci.

Andres Gomez-Lievano Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University I was born in Bogota, Colombia. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Physics in 2007 and a masters degree in Industrial Engineering in 2008, from the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota. During my masters I lived in Santiago, Chile, in collaboration with the Complex Systems Group of the Physics Department at the Universidad de Chile. After completing my master studies, I worked for a year and half as an analyst in the financial risk management division of Sociedades Bolivar S. A. a renowned Colombian firm of the financial sector. There, I developed analytic and computational tools for identifying, assessing and managing financial risks to which the companies of the Bolivar group were exposed. In general, my main approach is the application of Statistical Mechanics to social systems. My undergraduate thesis was a mathematical and computational study of a sandpile model in a scale-free network. In my master thesis, I studied the effects of the fractal makeup of cities on traffic, by modeling different planar street networks and characterizing the distribution of city traffic as a function of the size distribution of unbuilt or green places (such as parks). In 2014, I completed a PhD in Applied Mathematics for the Life and Social Sciences at Arizona State University. Since 2011 I have been working with the Santa Fe Institutes research group on Cities, Scaling and Sustainability. Since then I have been interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying wealth creation, crime, innovation and population growth. Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for International Development at Harvard University. My main question right now is how urban output arises from the diversification of productive capabilities in cities.

The main applications have been to the study of Computational Linguistics, Information Diffusion, Behavioral Change and Epidemic Spreading. He is the author of 50 publications with over 3400 Google Scholar citations and an h-index of 25. In 2015 he was awarded the Complex Systems Societys 2015 Junior Scientific Award for outstanding contributions in Complex Systems Science and he is the editor of the book Social Phenomena: From Data Analysis to Models (Springer, 2015). Russell Gonnering Adjunct Faculty at School for the Science of Health Care Delivery, Arizona State University Trained as an oculofacial reconstructive surgeon at the University of Wisconsin, I spent the first 25 years of my career caring for patients, teaching and performing basic and clinical science research. Along the way I was given increasing responsibilities for clinical quality improvement and realized the importance of clinicians involvement in this activity. In 2006, changes in my professional trajectory led me to obtain a masters degree in medical management from the University of Southern California. Soon afterwards I was introduced to complexity science and non-linear systems dynamics. While I still see patients, since 2007, my major academic thrust has been applying the tools of systems and complexity sciences to understanding performance, particularly in health care. I believe it is imperative to introduce the next generation of health care professionals to these tools, and that is the basis for my excitement with the School for the Science of Health Care Delivery at ASU. My current research interests include: agent-based modeling of performance computational analysis of health disparities knowledge transfer mechanics and methodology simulation of population change, particularly as it relates to health. Marta C. Gonzalez Professor Gonzalez works in the area of urban computing, with a focus on the intersections of people with the built environment and their social networks.

Thomas Gorochowski Research Associate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology Carlos Gracia-Lzaro Nancy Grimm at Arizona State University Dr. Grimm studies the interaction of climate variation and change, human activities, and ecosystems. Her research is carried out in both stream and urban ecosystems, collaborating with hydrologists, engineers, geologists, chemists, sociologists, geographers, and anthropologists. Her desert stream research over more than three decades has focused on impacts of and resilience to disturbances (such as flooding or drying) that alter structure and function, particularly biogeochemical processes. In a long-term study of Sycamore Creek, Arizona, Grimm and her students and colleagues are asking how hydrologic regimes influence ecosystem structure and function and transitions between gravel-bed and wetland ecosystems states. New research beginning in 2015 compares stream ecosystem metabolism across diverse US regions using innovative sensor-based measurement. Grimms long-term urban research program, affiliated with the Central ArizonaPhoenix Long-Term Ecological Research Program since 1997, addresses problems of urban sustainability and resilience to the impacts of climate change on water, infrastructure, and ecosystem processes and services, focusing particularly on stormwater infrastructure. New research beginning in 2015 on social-ecological-technological systems (SETS) dynamics will compare nine cities, including Latin American cities, and work with city practitioners to conceive, design, and implement resilient infrastructure solutions in the face of rising threats from extreme, weather-related events. Grimm has been President of the Ecological Society of America and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the Ecological Society of America.

Dirk Helbing Professor at ETH Zurich Laura Hernandez Associate Professor (in French MDC-HC, HDR) at Universit de Cergy-Pontoise Im a physicist and since 1993 Im associate professor at Laboratoire de Physique Thorique et Modlisation (LPTM), a laboratory of CNRS - Cergy Pontoise University. I did my undergraduate studies at Buenos Aires University, I have obtained my PhD in Physics in 1992 at the Institut Nationale des Sciences Appliques (INSA) Toulouse, France and my HDR (Habilitation to Conduct Research French diploma) in 2015, at Cergy Pontoise University. I think that true interdisciplinarity, where specialists of different disciplines put together their expertise in order to create new knowledge, is the key of the understanding of many open problems. For this reason I participate in different organizations that act for development of Complex Systems studies: Im a councilor of the Complex System Digital Campus (CS-DC Unitwin UNESCO) and member of the Direction Board of the Institute of Complex Systems of Paris-Ile-de-France (ISCpif). I have also participated in the coordination of the network HumanICT, specialized in a Complex Systems approach of social systems, of the Rseau Nationale des Systmes Complexes (RNSC, France). Im interested in the study of Complex Systems not only in my own discipline, but also in other fields like Ecology or Social Sciences, where I apply the point of view of Physics, using the tools and the concepts of Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systems. For instance I work on a complex network approach of Mutualistic Ecosystems, (like plant-pollinators or plant-frugivores networks), and also in problems of Cultural and Opinion Dynamics, both using a data based approach and also a by the study of theoretical models. I work on numerical simulations, using advanced Monte Carlo methods and multi-agent simulations. Im very concerned about the transmission of this way of working to young students, in this respect, in collaboration with a colleague of LPTM, I have created and co-directed, since 2010 to 2015, the Master in Theoretical Physics and Applications (fully taught in English) of the Cergy Pontoise University, where in particular, I was responsible for the Complex Systems Path of that master program. Keywords: Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena, Disordered Materials, Complex Networks, Mutualist Ecosystems, Cultural and Opinion Dynamics, Agent-based Model, Monte Carlo Simulations.

Cristian Osses at Universidad Nacional Autnoma de Mxico Richard Ottermanns John Owens at Idaho State University J. B. Owens is Research Professor of History and Director of the Geographically-Integrated History Laboratory at Idaho State University (USA). He is currently completing a book on nonlinear dynamics and the emergence of cooperation in a social environment characterized by seemingly endemic violence and other conflict. Although this situation appears common in the contemporary world, the book deals with southeastern Spain from the late 15th to the mid-17th century. Owens has treated nonlinear dynamics and the political system in an earlier book, By My Absolute Royal Authority: Justice and the Castilian Commonwealth at the Beginning of the First Global Age, which argues that perceptions of royal judicial administration shaped the degree of collaboration with the Crown by the kingdoms politically important groups. The abstract and critical comments about this book are available at the URL: boydellandbrewer/store/viewItem. aspidProduct6555 Owens is also working on a second book in which he explains the high levels of cooperation in smuggling networks during the period 1550-1570. Although goods were moved between Central Europe and the Americas, the book focuses primarily on the kingdoms of Castile and Valencia and the Duchy of Milan. This work has been supported by fellowships from the U. S. National Endowment for the Humanities and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, as well as by several grants from Idaho State University. Owens interest in human cooperation and the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for historical research led him to create a multidisciplinary, multinational research project for the European Science Foundations EUROCORES (European Collaborative Research) Schemes program The Evolution of Cooperation and Trading (TECT 2007-2010). The title of his project was Dynamic Complexity of Self-Organizing Cooperation-Based Commercial Networks in the First Global Age acronym: DynCoopNet. His participation was funded by the U. S. National Science Foundation (NSF), Award Number SES-0740345 (394,000 2007-2010). Subsequently, Owens was the lead Principal Investigator (PI) for a collaborative research project entitled Understanding social networks within complex, nonlinear systems: geographically-integrated history and dynamics GIS acronym: SOCNET, administered by the U. S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI). In support of the project for four years, NSF provided 1,761,897, of which Idaho State Universitys portion was 1,290,704 (OCI-0941371) and that of the University of Oklahoma was 471,193 (May Yuan, PI OCI-0941501). The award was part of NSFs Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) program.

D. studies, I was an exchange student at the Beijing Institute of Technology ( ). Duccio Piovani at Imperial College London Joao Pita Costa Researcher at Institute Jozef Stefan Dariusz Plewczynski Chiara Poletto Post-Doc at Institut National de la Sant et de la Recherche Mdicale, Unit Mixte de Recherche en Sant 1136 I received a PhD in physics at the University of Padova (Italy) in Mar 2009 with a thesis on physics of biopolymers entitled Solvent induced interactions in biopolymers: origin of secondary motifs. From Feb 2009 to December 2013 I was Post Doc researcher at the Computational Epidemiology Laboratory, ISI Foundation, Torino (Italy). Currently I work at the research unit 1136 of INSERM (National Institute of Health and Medical Research) in Paris. My current research work applies tools of statistical physics and complex systems to epidemiological problems. I am interested on how human demography, mobility and behavior impact the propagation of emerging infections. How do traveling patterns, journey duration and difference in travel frequency affect local mixing and transmission of influenza-like diseases How do the mobility of individuals and their space distribution determine dominance/co-dominance regimes in case of multiple interacting strains of the same pathogen Besides these fundamental research questions, I study real epidemic events, like the MERS-CoV epidemic, the Chikungunya outbreak in the Caribbean and the Western Africa Ebola outbreak. Denise Pumain Professor at Universit PARIS 1 Postdoc at University of Amsterdam I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Computational Science in the Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam. Supervised by Prof. Dr. Peter M. A. Sloot I am formulating a theory of information processing in complex systems, more specifically, systems with complex networks of interactions. My goal is to use information theory as a universal language to describe the behavior of such systems. In particular, I believe it may provide a bridge between microscopic and macroscopic information, and may express causal relations. This can be used to characterize the behavior of a system as a whole in terms of local dynamics. I obtained the Ph. D. in Computational Science at the University of Amsterdam in 2013, the M. Sc. in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology, U. S.A. and the B. Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Gianluigi Rossi Andrea Roventini at Scuola Superiore SantAnna Celine Rozenblat Cline Rozenblat researches are widely directed on the relations between evolutions of powers and values and networks dynamics into systems of territories. In order to develop these topics in a comparative point of view, she built many large database on European cities and on networks since 1987. In particular, the question of comparizon was extremely delicate for European cities and she produced with Pumain and St-Julien, Cattan the concept of cities in Europe for Eurostat (1991). She built since 1990 representative database on located multinational firms networks leading her to deal with territorial dynamics and actors strategies in the same time. This duality obliged her to rethink multi-level approaches in geography, largely inspired by sociology of networks and physics. Diachronical and dynamic studies supply materials to develop spatial and dynamic models, simulations and vizualisations. Margherita Russo Full Professor at University of Modena and Reggio Emilia George Rzevski Professor Emeritus at The Open University Oleguer Sagarra Yohei Sakamoto 3rd year in Ph. D. course at Kyoto University I studied theoretical physics as undergraduate course in university and theoretical particle physics for two years in graduate school before becoming interested in econophysics.

Samuel Scarpino Assistant Professor at University of Vermont I am a mathematical biologist and an Assistant Professor of Mathematics amp Statistics at the University of Vermont and a core faculty member of the Vermont Complex Systems Center. My research focuses on understanding disease as an emergent process and improving public health surveillance. Our group, the Emergent Epidemics Lab, approaches these topics by investigating questions at the intersection of biology, behavior, and disease. Through collaboration with laboratory, field, and public health researchers, the mathematical and computational models we develop are interrogated with novel experiments, evaluated on new data sources, and applied to public health problems. Our surveillance research, for example, is done in close association with state, national, and international public health agencies and has led to substantive changes in surveillance practices. I believe this type of collaboration between scientists and public health decision makers is critical for efficient, effective outbreak preparedness and response. Beyond disease, the groups research has also focused on a broad range of topics, including animal movement and group dynamics traffic routing the effects of environmental toxins on behavior and neural biology and models of spatiotemporal variation in tree density and fruiting phenology.

Aernout Schmidt Professor in Law amp Computer Science at Leiden University Law School, Centre for Law in Digital Society (eLawLeiden) Aernout Schmidt served (still obligatory at the time) as reserve marine officer (1964-1966) before reading law at Utrecht University (1966-1972), supporting his law education and his budding family by being a professional programmer on the side, at various Dutch universities (Utrecht, GU Amsterdam, Leiden 1969-1985). In 1985 he initiated the then new department for law and computer science, which later became eLawLeiden. Since 2003 full professor in Law amp Computer Science, since 2010 emeritus, also at Leiden University. As can be traced in his publications (l-m-d. net/aernout/selected-publications-online/), his main scientific interests focus on discovering and understanding the evolution of legal mechanisms, and how their resiliences and efficacies can be influenced by social practices. His current projects (often with his former PhD student, dr. Kunbei Zhang) look at what added value complexity theory may provide to legal theory and practice especially where the objects for regulation are complex adaptive (networked) systems. Since 2010 is Aernout of counsel of Corvers Procurement Services and participates e. g. in peer reviews and tenderboard quick scans. Since 2012 he is also of counsel of SCHMDT advocatuur. Since Augustus 2014 he is the only executive of dotLegal. net publishing, which bases its business model on producing material under public licenses. Abhijit Sengupta at University of Essex Luis F Seoane Postdoc Affiliate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology Physicist and Computational Neuroscientist by training, I received my PhD at the Complex Systems Lab of the Pompeu Fabra University. There I worked with Ricard Sol on the connections between Multi Objective (or Pareto) Optimization and its connections to Statistical Mechanics. We also applied our theoretical findings about optimality and critical phenomena to a series of systems including complex networks, communication codes, or evolutionary dynamics. Currently I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and work as a postdoc at the MIT with Max Tegmark. We research the physics of intelligent systems and are interested in the meeting point between physics and cognition.

CV: lattes. cnpq. br/1572277575298913 Jonathan Sim Research Officer at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Jonathan Sim is a Research Officer in Nanyang Technological University, under the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. He is currently directing the production of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Confucian Philosophy with the Dean of the College. He is also involved in an international project exploring the cultural and conceptual barriers separating East and West, finding ways to navigate or overcome such barriers to avoid future conflict between the two cultures. One such project involves exploring the ways in which Complexity Science and Classical Chinese Thought could mutually enrich each other. While Jonathan is a specialist in classical Chinese philosophy, his research interest and knowledge extends widely into many other fields, such as the comparative study of both the Chinese and Western philosophical traditions, ethics, philosophy of science, the history and philosophy of technology, and philosophical issues pertaining to Complexity Science. With his broad knowledge on the various fields in philosophy and his ability to clearly explain complex issues, Jonathan has been invited regularly to speak about issues from a philosophical perspective at events, and to teach philosophy in schools. He was recently invited to speak on the ethical and societal impacts of emerging technologies at the Financial Times Smarter World Summit (2015).

Grzegorz Siudem Assistant Professor at Trinity College Pawel Sobkowicz at Research conducted outside the official affiliations Manager of Technology Transfer Department of the National Center for Nuclear Research wierk and Project Manager for the Science and Technology Park wierk. PhD in theoretical physics, between 1982 and 1993 worked at the Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences. Author of 56 research papers, cited over 400 times. Since 1993 he has been a member of management teams of several high-tech companies, both international (Silicon Graphics Inc. Network Appliance Inc. Fujitsu-Siemens Corporation, Bull) and Polish (ATM S. A. Optimus S. A. Solidex S. A.). His tasks included sales management. marketing and project management. Since June 2012 he has joined the National Center for Nuclear Research with the task of managing the technology transfer processes and management of commercialization efforts. The experience gathered during the 20 years of commercial career cover many aspects, including human resources management, financial planning, sales management and general understanding of the decision processes in commercial environments. This is especially important in the context of efficient cooperation between the research communities and industry the differences in language which is used by both communities is one of the most important factors slowing down or inhibiting successful commercialization. This experience complements the understanding of methods typical for research processes, with their inherent risks and uncertainties, as well as practical aspects of doing science. Recent research interests include Agent Based Models of social systems, with particular attention to opinion change dynamics as well as modelling of the research processes itself.

Galilei, University of Padova I am a research scientist at the Laboratory of Interdisciplinary Physics and I am funded by a grant dedicated to the support of innovative and excellent research activities proposed by young scientists. My work focuses on research at the interface of ecology, hydrology and complex systems under an theoretical framework provided by statistical mechanics. It addresses a wide range of related topics, including ecosystem organizations, ecological networks, stochastic modelling of ecosystems dynamics and hydrological processes, sustainability and ecosystems services. In particular we look for any ubiquitous patterns or universal scaling behavior in real systems, that are signals of emergent order despite the variety and complexity of the systems involved. I address the above and related topics from a comprehensive framework that include data mining, theoretical modeling (both computational and analytical) and statistical analysis.

She holds a Phd in Clinical Psychology obtained from the University of Coimbra. She received her Master degree from the University of Minho and her degree in Psychology from the University of Porto, under the specialization of Youth and Adult Counselling. Her main field of interest is Family Psychology, with a special focus on the the familys positive development and its relation to individual development and change. She has dedicated her research and practice to studying family processes as well as developing and testing diverse forms of family interventions and training programs for professionals. She is the author of prevention programs such as Searching Family Treasure or integrated approches focused on supporting multichallenged families such as the Integrated Family Assessment and Intervention Model. In the last years, her research has focused the adaptation processes of multichallenged families with children and change processes in cases of children at-risk or experiencing neglect or emotional and physical maltreatment. More recently, she has focused her research in the family as a complex system and the investigation of natural and therapeutic positive change and developmental adaptation processes. She is interested in exploring human change and development in general, with a central focus on processes related to the family, as a complex system. She is currently studying, naturally occurring and therapeutic family change and adaptation processes, exploring coupling properties and patterns as central features of the familys self-organization associated with positive change, emergent happiness, and love as a special self-organized positive coupling pattern and organizer of positive family functioning and adaptation In the future, she hopes to explore multiple levels of coupling and coordination between family members and the neurophysiological correlates and processes underlying the love patterns and their positive effects regarding the whole family level and the individual levels of functioning, development and adaptation. She also hopes to address the complexity of the multi-layered network or configurations of family couplings and their relation to family and family-related individual change, development and adaptation. She is interested in issues of Epistemology and the Philosophy of Science(s). She is also interest in integrative conceptualizations of Human Development and in Research Methods to investigate Human Complexity and Change Processes.
