| Goal | The goal of the conference is to organize invited talks given by leading researchers from the field of mathematical modeling and applications related to a wide range of real world phenomena. Emphasis is placed on self-organization, which is a keyword that is now prevailing in a variety of areas from biology and neural networks to social and economic systems. This conference will thus provide opportunities for researchers to exchange ideas and establish new directions for future research. |
