CABDyN Seminars
12.30 - 2.00 pm
Saïd Business School
Convenors:
Felix Reed-Tsochas
and Eduardo López
|
 |
Our meetings intend to provide a forum for rigorous research (in a broad range of disciplines) focusing on complex adaptive systems, using methods and techniques such as agent-based modelling and complex network analysis. Since potential areas of application for such approaches can be located across the social, natural and engineering sciences, our aim is to involve participants from a wide range of departments in Oxford. We welcome talks which focus on particular areas of application and associated technical issues, but also encourage contributions which address more fundamental conceptual or mathematical problems. The CABDyN Seminar Series is one of the activities of the CABDyN Complexity Centre. CABDyN gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Institute for Science, Innovation and Society for this seminar series. |

Forthcoming Talks
For Hilary term 2010 CABDyN is jointly organising a special seminar series on "Complexity and Systemic Risk" with the James Martin 21st Century School. The seminars in this series will deviate from the normal schedule, and take place at 3:30 pm on Thursdays, and the venue will be the James Martin 21st Century School in the Old Indian Institute Building. The additional CABDyN seminar will be held on 16th February in James Martin Seminar Room at Saïd Business School. For Trinity term 2010, the CABDyN seminar series will revert to the standard format, location, and time.
