PLOS Complex Systems will bring together all researchers working to understand complex systems. We will partner with the community to drive Open Science practices forward to enable rapid dissemination of groundbreaking results, cross-fertilization of knowledge, and increased collaboration to address the fundamental questions that affect individuals and global societies.

SFI Complexity Interactive (SFI-CI) combines the dynamic interactions of an in-person course with the flexibility to learn from anywhere in the world. This two-week, part-time, online course offers participants a theory- and applications-based overview of complexity science. Complexity Interactive provides a foundation for thinking broadly about complex systems, encouraging participants to explore syntheses across systems in an open dialog with SFI faculty. The program’s size is limited to ensure everyone has ample opportunity to discuss with faculty and with each other.

In 2023, the curriculum will investigate modeling humans and social behavior, focusing on methods and approaches from complex systems science.

This summer, discover the science that teaches us about collected patterns of behavior, helps us understand the fluctuations of global finance, and can help us meet societal, organization and global challenges.

This course provides an introduction to essential concepts of complex systems and related mathematical methods and simulation strategies with application to physical, biological and social systems.

Concepts to be covered include: emergence, complexity, networks, self-organization, pattern formation, evolution, adaptation, fractals, chaos, cooperation, competition, attractors, interdependence, scaling, dynamic response, information and function.

Methods to be covered include: statistical methods, cellular automata, agent-based modeling, pattern recognition, system representation and informatics.

In the two previous Special Issues, the discussion was mainly confined to conceptualizations within the domain of complexity theories. In the present Special Issue—“Information and Self-Organization III”— the aim is to further extend the discussion on information and self-organization to several new directions: Firstly, to questions of life (e.g., in line with Schrödinger’s What is Life?) and of artificial life. Secondly, to other conceptualizations such as Bohm’s implicate, explicate, and generative orders (including his notion of active information); and/or to Bohr’s complementarity principle and its implications to the domains of life, brain, coordination dynamics and society. Thirdly, as in the previous Special Issues, the aim is to explore the consequences of the above extensions on several research domains, ranging from physics and chemistry through the life sciences and cognitive science to our understanding of society and economy. However, in this Special Issue, there is a special reference to the dynamics of cities and urbanization.

A satellite session is usually a half-day session or full-day session. Longer satellites (one and a half or two days) will not be considered. Each satellite is organized and managed by its own committee, although the coffee-breaks and lunch will be offered by the CCS organization. The satellite organizers are responsible for reviewing proposed papers and working with their presenters.

The deadline for satellite proposals is April 27, 2023.
Organizers of successful proposals will be notified by May 19, 2023
