European Conference on Complex Systems (ECCS ’07), Dresden 1st – 5th October 2007
The fourth European Conference on Complex Systems organised by the European Complex Systems Society will be hosted this year by the Technische Universität Dresden. Last year's conference was held in the Oxford (UK), and previous conferences were held in Torino (Italy) and Paris (France). In 2007, this conference series continues in Dresden, Germany. Dresden and its neighbourhood (Berlin, Leipzig, Prague, etc.) offer a superb scientific environment with many highly regarded institutions, including the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems. So there should be ample opportunities to exchange ideas and get inspired. The goals of this annual conference are to reflect recent progress in the field of complexity science and to build up the active research community significantly.

ECCS '07 involves CABDyN in a number of different ways. CABDyN International Advisory Board (IAB) Member Dirk Helbing is Chair of the Local Organising Committee for the conference, and CABDyN Co-Director Neil Johnson will be giving one of the invited plenary talks on the subject of "Complexity in Human Activity: Conflicts, Currencies and Crimes. CABDyN IAB Members Mark Newman and Guy Theraulaz will be giving plenary talks on "Structure and function in complex networks" and "Biological principles of swarm intelligence" respectively. CABDyN Co-Director Felix Reed-Tsochas is a member of the European Complex Systems Society Conference Committee.
