CABDyN Summer Workshops

CABDyN is pleased to announce a series of five lunchtime workshops this summer on Fridays from 12:30-2pm at Keble College.

The CABDyN Complexity Centre aims to identify and address the key common questions underlying complex, agent-based, dynamic network systems. It is a truly multi-disciplinary group, crossing from the physical, biological and computational sciences through to the social, economic and political sciences.

The point of the workshops is *not* to present seminars on finished research, but rather to provide an informal yet productive forum for active discussion. At each meeting, someone will present an informal discussion of the problems they are working on in this area, and this will be discussed as the story unfolds. Presentations should be approx. 30 minutes, followed by discussion. The goal is to show work-in-progress, and as such, should show the detail of what is being modelled, rather than a glossy slideshow of results.

This is an experiment, and we need an active, open-minded audience to help make it work. However if the academic content isn't enough to entice you, we are happy to announce that sandwiches will be provided.

Since we have no idea of how many will attend the first session, please bring along a spare something to nibble (and drink) in case the food runs out.

Please add the following dates to your diary:
Friday, 10 July Gibbs Room

Thursday, 17 September Sloane Robinson Building Room 6
