Researcher position at the intersection between Social Complexity and Cooperative AI – FBK

FBK-CHuB is seeking a Researcher in the field of the analysis and modelling of complex social systems.
In particular, the candidate will be involved in a research project focused on the modelling of the interaction between human and artificial agents in complex social scenarios. The work will include the exploration of the interaction of different typologies of actors, artificial or natural, acting following different goals and strategies in paradigmatical complex social scenarios such as ant colonies, flocks of birds or interaction models on networks, as well as in more realistic scenarios such as online communication (bots) or traffic (self-driving cars).

Adaptive Computing, open online course

Prof. Carlos Gershenson
Complex systems are characterized by interactions that may generate novel information. This information can change problems, so previous solutions become obsolete. To face complexity, we need adaptation. In this course, we will cover different methods for building systems that can adapt to unforeseen changes.
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:00-11:30 AM, Mexico City Time.

First Class: February 1st, 2022.
The class is open and free for all students worldwide. 
Those who deliver successfully coursework and final project will receive a certificate.

Autopoiesis: Foundations of Life, Cognition, and Emergence of Self/Other – Call for papers – BioSystems

The special issue “Autopoiesis: Foundations of Life, Cognition, and Emergence of Self/Other” is devised to host an interdisciplinary forum on scientific research based on autopoiesis and its role for undestanding life, cognition, the emergence of self/other, and related issues. It is open to various approaches, targets, and goals, all having autopoiesis as common denominator, sharing and applying its core concepts to face novel problems, perspectives, and activities.

We suggest interested Authors to manifest their interest by contacting the special issue Editors, providing a title and (preferably) an extended abstract (around 500 words) about the topic they intend to approach and other methodological details before May 31, 2022.

Courses: SFI Complexity Interactive | Santa Fe Institute

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 three-week, part-time, online course offers participants a theory- and applications-based view 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 2022, the curriculum will explore scaling, robustness, and feedbacks, with a particular focus on sustainability and climate change.
