Internet of Everything. Obama Administration Unveils $200M Big Data R&D Initiative. (This post has been updated; please scroll down for the latest.)
The Obama Administration this morning unveiled details about its Big Data R&D Initiative, committing more than $200 million in new funding through six agencies and departments to improve “our ability to extract knowledge and insights from large and complex collections of digital data.” The effort, spearheaded by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and National Science Foundation (NSF), along with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Department of Energy (DoE) Office of Science, and U.S.
The first wave of commitments to support the Big Data Initiative features a new joint solicitation of up to $25 million supported by NSF and NIH – Core Techniques and Technologies for Advancing Big Data Science and Engineering (BIGDATA) – that will advance foundational research in Big Data. From the solicitation: 1. 2. Complexity Science for the Real World (CSRW) 2012 Complexity and Management Conference. 2012 Complexity and Management Conference Posted on Updated on Complexity and ethics: practical judgement in everyday politics from 7pm on 8th June to 2.30pm on 10th June 2012 (For location see Roffey Park website)
Conference on Morphological Complexity. The Surrey Morphology Group convened a three-day conference ‘Morphological Complexity’, on January 13-15 2012 at the British Academy in London. This was part of a larger project funded by the European Research Council (grant ERC-2008-AdG-230268 MORPHOLOGY). Conference organizers were Matthew Baerman, Greville Corbett and Dunstan Brown. The theme of the conference Although inflectional morphology could provide a consistent one-to-one mapping between form and function, it seldom does. Inflectional systems have their own structure which may operate at cross-purposes to the grammatical systems whose realisation is their putative reason for being.

The intent of the meeting to bring together the best people doing new work in EXPERIMENTAL nonlinear dynamics (chaotic or not), to talk especially about experimental work, and report on new solutions and discoveries of fundamental problems in many fields of science and technology that would not have been possible without nonlinear dynamics.

Human Complexity 2012. 1st Annual Conference on Complexity and Human Experience Modeling Complexity in the Humanities and Social Sciences May 30th - June 1st, 2012 The University of North Carolina at Charlotte The recent increase in the number of formal institutes and conferences dedicated to complexity theory and its application is evidence that complexity science has arrived and is realizing its potential to cut across almost every academic discipline.
The conference series will be dedicated to a particular topic each year. Submissions are invited on any specific topic that falls within the parameters described above. Submission Guidelines Submissions should be in the form of 5000-word papers, each of which will be reviewed by the program committee. Submissions can be made through the EasyChair Conference system. Conference on Computational Complexity. Touch Effects. Levitated Daily Source, the good source. Circles within circles ] Complexity, Artificial Life and Self-Organising Systems Glossary. In this glossary each entry is an hypertext link that takes you to an introduction describing that concept in a wider context.
Alternatively, to read all the introductions in sequence start with "Setting The Scene". This is a brief glossary, for a more detailed one see: ISAAC's. Some of the terms included here are specific to the wider CALResCo viewpoint and may not be common in the work of other more specialised groups. Adaptability The ability of an organism to learn in response to changes in its environment over the course of its lifetime. Adaptation The ability of a species to change in response to changes in its environment over many generations. Agents Individuals within an interacting population, each may have only limited freedom to react to their neighbours yet the behaviour of the whole (emergent) may be much more complex. Aggregate ALife Attractor A point to which a system tends to move, a goal, either deliberate or constrained by system parameters (laws).
Arms Race. John Conway's Game of Life. The Game The Game of Life is not your typical computer game.
It is a 'cellular automaton', and was invented by Cambridge mathematician John Conway. This game became widely known when it was mentioned in an article published by Scientific American in 1970. It consists of a collection of cells which, based on a few mathematical rules, can live, die or multiply. Depending on the initial conditions, the cells form various patterns throughout the course of the game. playgameoflife.com New developments of this page will continue on playgameoflife.com. playgameoflife.com The Simulation Figure from the XKCD RIP John Conway comic.
