Dynamics of and in Complex Systems (DIONICOS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

With the statics of a wealth of model systems in statistical and condensed-matter systems being relatively well understood, an increased effort in research in these fields is channelled towards the understanding of dynamical phenomena. This agenda is even more pressing as dynamic effects are of crucial importance for many experimentally observed and technologically important phenomena.In the first ...

Future advancements in ICT domain are closely linked to the understanding about how multi-level complex systems function. Indeed, multi-level dependencies may amplify cascade failures or make more sudden the collapse of the entire system. Recent large-scale blackouts resulting from cascades in the power-grid coupled to the control communication system witness this point very clearly. A better unde ...

multi-LAyer SpAtiotemporal Generalized NEtworks (LASAGNE)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Thanks to modern ICT, a new generation of large data sets of social, biological, and man-made systems are now available. Many more will be produced at an ever–increasing rate in the near future. Such data contain high precision and integrated information on the nature and the evolution -in space and time- of the state of each single component, together with information on different types of intera ...

The Innovation Society, Sustainability, and ICT (INSITE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2014,

Our society is organized around a positive feedback dynamic that produces innovation cascades. In these cascades, new artifacts are inextricably linked with transformations in social organization and the generation of new "needs" for individual and society. Besides desired effects, these cascades produce disruptive changes in the environment and in society itself, ultimately leading to sustainabi ...
