[IWSOS] The 17th International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems - Palma de Mallorca, Spain

IWSOS 2013 is the seventh International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems, a multidisciplinary event dedicated to self-organization in networks and networked systems, including techno-social systems.

Self-organization relates the behaviour of the individual components (the microscopic level) to the resulting networked structure and functionality of the overall system (the macroscopic level), where simple interactions at the microscopic level may already give rise to complex, adaptive, and robust behaviour at the macroscopic level. The growing scale, complexity, and dynamics of (future) networked systems have been driving research from centralized solutions to self-organized networked systems. The applicability of well-known self-organizing techniques to specific networks and networked systems is being investigated, as well as adaptations and novel approaches inspired by cooperation in nature. Models originating from areas like control theory, complex systems research, evolutionary dynamics, sociology and game theory are increasingly applied to complex networks to analyse their behaviour, robustness and controllability.

Self-organization principles not only apply to the internet and computer networks but also to a variety of other complex networks, like transportation networks, telephony networks, smart electricity grids, financial networks, social networks, and biological networks. “Network Science” and “Complex Networks theory” constitute new research areas that provide additional insights into self-organizing systems.

IWSOS 2013 will feature the participation of Alessandro Vespignani as confirmed keynote speaker and several invited experts on the field whose names will be published soon. It will also include the presentation of the most select scientific papers among those received in the Call for Papers procedure.
