Connectionists: School and Workshop on Dynamics of Multi-Level Systems, Dresden, June 2015

[Eckehard Olbrich]

"Dynamics of Multi-Level systems"


School: 01-12.06.2015 Workshop: 15-19.06.2015


LOCATION: Max Planck Institute for the Physics of

Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany


Applications for participation at

http://www.pks.mpg.de/~dymult15/

until FEBRUARY 28, 2015.



The emergence of levels is a key feature in a variety of complex 
systems. Experts from different disciplines will discuss current trends 
in the theoretical understanding of multi-level and multi-scale systems 
and present applications from physics and chemistry, sociology and 
economics, ecology and neuroscience.


Workshop topics include


  *

    multiscale methods

  *

    hierarchies in dynamical systems

  *

    physics of information

  *

    self-organization and level identification

  *

    multilevel networks

  *

    coarse graining

  *

    aggregation methods



The school will provide the opportunity to learn key techniques and 
theories from mathematics and physics for dealing with multiscale and 
multilevel systems.


School topics include


  *

    Dynamical Systems with multiple time scales

  *

    Averaging and singular perturbation theory

  *

    Projection methods

  *

    Collective chaos

  *

    Information geometry

  *

    Information theoretic approaches to complex systems
