Special
themes of the workshop:
|
|
|
|
- modelling biological systems
(genetic systems,; complex ecological systems etc) |
- modelling meteorological phenomena and earthquakes
(space-time models; point process models; fracture models; etc) |
|
|
|
|
|
Background
:
|
|
|
|
| The focus of this workshop is on modelling large-scale complex systems that occur in the natural and social sciences, with a view to better understanding the large-scale dynamics, among other aspects, that underpin such systems. In this context modern data science models and methods are indispensable. Coarse-grained modelling and system reduction techniques developed in applied mathematics are also relevant. One of the aims of this Workshop is to provide opportunities for communication among research workers from different disciplines, especially data science and mathematics. |
