1998 Summer Workshop
Modeling Complexity in Social Systems
July 16-22, 1998
This summer, July 16-22, 1998, a group of social
scientists and other interested modelers and applied mathematicians will
gather in Boulder to explore recent advances in modeling complexity in
diverse aspects of social phenomena, including topics from anthropology,
political science, sociology, economics, and other social disciplines.
Complexity in the social sciences arises quite
commonly, through feedback, nonlinear dynamics, uncertainty, hierarchy,
and developmental processes that remain intriguing and puzzling to this
day. How is government formed? How do social agents agree to cooperate?
How do conflicts errupt, evolve, and cease? How does complexity arise
in these and other processes, and how does it ressemble or differ from
complexity in other areas of life and natural phenomena? Answers to these
and related questions will be sought by a group of invited guests and
participants.
The event is being sponsored by the Colorado Center for Chaos & Complexity
(C4) at the University
of Colorado, Boulder, USA.
