CALL FOR PAPERS

==================================================

EmergeNET3: Emergence and Networks
A Satellite Meeting of the European Conference on Complex Systems

http://www.emergenet.org

Thursday 24 September 2009 at the University of Warwick, UK

EmergeNET is a network project bringing together researchers working in
complex systems and emergence, and is funded by Engineering and Physical
Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), UK

=====================================================

EmergeNET is a network project funded by EPSRC with the primary aim of
developing our understanding of complex systems, emergence and related
concepts by bringing together researchers from the sciences, social sciences
and beyond.

EmergeNET3 is one of a series of themed workshops that aim to develop
our understanding of emergence from a range of perspectives and to explore
the relationship between emergence and other key ideas in complex systems
science. Networks are a core concept in complex systems research, and this
workshop will explore both their role in providing structure for understanding
emergence, and the emergence of networks themselves.

== IMPORTANT DATES ==

• 15 August 2009: Submission of abstracts for presentations and posters
• 29 August 2009: Notification for all submission categories

NB: Submissions may be accepted after these dates, but this will be at the

== TOPICS OF INTEREST ==

EmergeNET invites contributions on all topics relating to complex systems,
emergence and networks. Topics of special interest to the workshop include,
but are not limited to:

• Definitions of emergence and complexity
