6th Complex Systems Modelling and Simulation Workshop, Milan, Italien

The 6th workshop on Complex Systems Modelling and Simulation (CoSMoS 2013) will take place as a 1&#8211;day satellite workshop of the Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation conference (http://ucnc2013&#046;disco&#046;unimib&#046;it/) held between 1st and 5th July at the Università degli Studi di Milano&#8211;Bicocca, Italy&#046; The CoSMoS workshops series provides a forum for research examining all aspects of the modelling and simulation of complex systems&#046; This year, we will place a special focus on how complex systems simulations can be used to simulate unconventional and natural computation&#046;<br>Constructing models and simulations of complex systems is a challenging and interdisciplinary task&#046; Elements might include choice of modelling tools and techniques, simulation infrastructures, concurrency, the process of moving from models to simulations, arguing validity of simulations, and the identification of reusable engineering techniques such as patterns&#046; The CoSMoS workshop series continues an initiative, based at the Universities of York and Kent, UK, to develop a framework and infrastructure for the construction of complex systems simulations&#046;<br>AREAS OF INTEREST<br>We are seeking submissions that explore aspects of complex systems modelling and simulation, with a special focus on how complex systems simulations can be used to simulate unconventional and natural computation&#046; Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>* Complex systems simulation case&#8211;studies<br>* Modelling tools and techniques<br>* Simulation infrastructures<br>* Arguing validity of simulations<br>* Concurrency and distribution techniques<br>* Identification of reusable engineering techniques<br>* Working across scientific disciplines<br>
