DEADLINE: ICCS ABSTRACT SUBMISSION THIS FRIDAY FEB 18th
send by e-mail to iccs@necsi.org
The program committee meeting, which will assign
additional speakers to sessions, will be held this
Friday, February 18.
--- Attached is the preliminary program for the third International Conference on Complex Systems (ICCS 2000) which will take place May 21-26, 2000 in Nashua, NH, near Boston, MA.This ICCS, like the previous ones, is an unusual opportunity to form collaborations and discuss advances in complex systems research. It is also a remarkable opportunity for pedagogy. Proceedings will be published in print and on-line.
There is still an opportunity to submit abstracts. Please submit them soon so we can organize them for the program committee meeting.
Registering to attend the conference without giving a presentation is also still possible.
Students and postdocs are encouraged to submit papers about recent advances in their research. Opportunities will be provided for them to give short talks or to be assigned to the poster session.
We have funds to assist students and postdocs, junior faculty and others who do not have sufficient financial resources to attend the conference.
I have recently been notified that the National Science Foundation is intending to co-sponsor the International Conference on Complex Systems through the following directorates:
Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate for Engineering Directorate for Biological Sciences Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate for Geosciences
with participation from the following divisions:
Division of Atmospheric Sciences (GEO/ATM) Division of Bioengineering & Environmental Systems (ENG/BES) Division of Chemistry (MPS/CHE) Division of Computer-Communications Research (CISE/CCR) Division of Design, Manufacture, & Industrial Innovation (ENG/DMII) Division of Integrative Biology and Neuroscience (DBS/IBN) Division of Materials Research (MPS/DMR) Division of Mathematical Sciences (MPS/DMS) Division of Physics (MPS/PHY) Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA/PHY)
Several NSF program officers will be attending to present information on current and future funding opportunities. Among others these include Mariann (Sam) Jelinek -- Social, Behavioral & Economic Science
