Our panel on Women in Complex Systems happening now at #CCS2026

By unpacking biological plasticity, pleiotropy, and epistasis, Brandon Ogbunu delivered a magnificent keynote lecture on how living organization is far more complex than our descriptions of it, synthesizing numerous relevant findings from modern evolutionary biology.

#CCS2026

#CCS2026

To wrap up the first day of #GSO2026, Mikhail Prokopenko outlines his research on characterizing the thermodynamic efficiency of self-organizing phenomena.

#CCS2026 @css-conference.bsky.social

Now, at #GSO2026, Hao Ke presents his project on computational neoplasms, which essentially deals with how pathological self-maintenance can emerge within AI-agent repositories.

#CCS2026 @css-conference.bsky.social

To start our second session of contributed talks at #GSO2026, Earnest Kota Carr presents his work on the use of information theory to characterize the dual dynamics of information flow optimization.

#CCS2026 @css-conference.bsky.social

Now, at #GSO2026, Michael Levin presents his empirical program on collective intelligence, showcasing numerous examples in which bioelectricity acts as a glue enabling the regeneration of multicellular structures.

#CCS2026 @css-conference.bsky.social

As a keynote speaker at #CCS2026, Mercedes Pascual provides an overview of how the dimensionality of trait space evolves in multi-trait consumer-resource systems, placing great emphasis on the importance of eco-evolutionary processes.

Finishing the morning session of #GSO2026, Georgi Georgiev shows us his general framework to reformulate the principle of least action in systems that are thermodynamically open.

#CCS2026 @css-conference.bsky.social

Keep going with #GSO2026, Ivan Samoylenko discusses how guiding self-organization can be implemented in #LLM multi-agent systems via Kantian equilibrium.

#CCS2026 @css-conference.bsky.social

Now Daniel Polani presents his research on how to formalize agency using informational incentives for swarming.

#GSO2026 #CCS2026 @css-conference.bsky.social

Prof. Naoki Masuda is talking about forecasting tipping points in complex systems #CCS2026

Do you want to keep talking after #CCS2026 or couldn't make it?

Submit to CompleNet 2027 at U. Rochester!

A 1-2 page extended abstract is enough. Work in progress or already published work welcome!
Deadline: Oct 17 (AoE)

@complenet.bsky.social @css-conference.bsky.social

Our first keynote speaker at #GSO2026 is Andrea Liu, who gave us a lot of insights regarding how we can tune the components of collective dynamics to guide decentralized tasks, vanishing the idea that reservoirs should be black boxes.

#CCS2026 @css-conference.bsky.social

Kicking off #GSO2026, Mikhail Prokopenko gives us an introduction to what guided self-organization is about.

#CCS2026 @css-conference.bsky.social

arxiv.org/abs/2510.06011 Sounds interesting. #CCS2026

Now, Michael Levin offers us a wonderful keynote lecture on how living organisms solve problems at different scales and across various dynamic landscapes (ranging from the transcriptional to the behavioral level) through collective intelligence.

#CCS2026

Using a simple model as an example, Réka Albert delivered a magnificent keynote lecture on how our representations of complex biological systems need to recapitulate real biological observations found in the scientific literature.

#CCS2026

Whether you are a physicist, computer scientist, biologist, economist, or sociologist, we are sure you will find something interesting in our fourth parallel session at #CCS2026. Don't miss it!
