A Thematic Cycle on Complexity will take place in 2018 at the Institute of Advanced Studies (IEA) of Cergy-Pontoise University. It aims at providing to UCP researchers dealing with complex systems in their own disciplinary field, with the opportunity to discuss their experiences and methods. It will also be the occasion to bring together local and international experts in the different involved disciplines. This thematic cycle is developed in the framework of the national ISITE project related to Complexity studies, recently awarded to Cergy-Pontoise University.
It is generally admitted that a complex system is composed of a large number of constituents holding non-linear interactions which show multi-scale self-organizing phenomena. With such definition, it clearly appears that problems related to complex systems are intrinsically interdisciplinary, as proven by the numerous institutes devoted to a multi-disciplinary study of complexity that have been created all around the world [1].
Our university hosts various teams issued from different disciplines, working on systems having these characteristics. As examples, one can cite the study of phase transitions, turbulences, or synchronization problems in Physics; the models of financial, import-export, centralized or decentralized markets, or the study of risk assessment and management in Economy; the studies of opinion formation and the influence of new on-line media on the off-line events in Sociology, the research on urban dynamics and mobility or the emergence of centralities within suburban territories in Geography, the studies of host-pathogen systems, or the interaction of complex molecules and biomaterials in Biology, the multi-scale studies of rock deformation and alteration in Geology, the integration of multimedia data or the studies on neuro-cybernetics in Computer Sciences, among so many others.
The kickoff event of this cycle is an invited seminar by Professor Roberto Livi, previous holder of the IEA International Research Chair 2011, taking place on January 30th 2018.
All around the year, the Thematic Cycle will propose:
During this inaugural seminar, Professor Livi will present his most recent results on neuromorphic circuits.
