The Science of Complexity: Understanding the Global Financial Crisis. May 16 – 18, 2012 George Mason University Arlington, Virginia Register now for the Science of Complexity symposium The Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study at George Mason University and the Santa Fe Institute are jointly offering a three day symposium entitled “The Science of Complexity: Understanding the Global Financial Crisis” May 16-18, 2012. The event will take place at the new Founders Hall facility on the GMU Arlington campus. Through the lenses of finance, economics, complex systems, neuroeconomics, and computational social science, the symposium will explore the structure and dynamics of the 2008 financial crisis and its reverberations through time, including the current Eurozone crisis. Attendees will come away with a high-level understanding of the tools the sciences of complexity bring to an emerging view of these crises, including cutting-edge insights from the application of non-linear dynamics, social networks, systemic risk, experimental economics and related approaches.
ACH2.0 Download Page. Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH) is a simple model for how to think about a complex problem when the available information is incomplete or ambiguous, as typically happens in intelligence analysis. The software downloadable here takes an analyst through a process for making a well-reasoned, analytical judgment. It is particularly useful for issues that require careful weighing of alternative explanations of what has happened, is happening, or is likely to happen in the future. It helps the analyst overcome, or at least minimize, some of the cognitive limitations that make prescient intelligence analysis so difficult. Install ACH Software To install ACH, follow the instructions below or in the README file: To run ACH, you will need version 1.4.2 or later of Java. ** March 29, 2010 - Note that as of version 2.0.4, ACH is now able to run without administrator access.
