[AMCOS Conference]

SAVE THE DATE

*AMCOS –** Analysis and Modeling of Complex Oscillatory Systems*
March 19-23, 2018
Barcelona, Spain

The *AMCOS conference* aims at bringing together renowned experts and young
researchers who work on the modeling of complex systems and the emergence
of collective phenomena, as well as on the analysis of complex data sets in
order to infer structure and functionality of networks. Accompanying
*tutorials* by leading experts will interactively introduce the different
conference themes.

Do you want to present your work? *Registration and abstract submission
opens October 15, 2017*.
