MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF HUMAN DYNAMICS

The First International Conference on Complex Sciences: Theory and Applications (COMPLEX’2009) will be held in Shanghai, China, on 23-25 February, 2009.

You are cordially invited to submit a paper to our Satellite Workshop
"MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF HUMAN DYNAMICS" Satellite of COMPLEX’2009.

The activity of the recent years in the fields of computer science, sociology and statistical physics made possible to approach in a quantitative way the study of a variety of social systems. Network theory, agent-based modelling and simple cellular automata have been used to describe many systems related to human activity as: urban development, econophysics, traffic, analysis of queuing models. In all these cases the dynamics of these phenomena are driven by individual human actions. There is increasing evidence that the timing of many human activities, ranging from communication to entertainment and work patterns, follow non- Poisson statistics and more generally a universal behaviour. This inherent similarity in human patterns could impact all phenomena driven by human mobility, from epidemic prevention to emergency response, urban planning and agent-based modelling. This important conference is a perfect occasion to put together the scientists operating in the area of complex systems in such a way to produce a critical mass of competence and people necessary to boost the activity in the quantitative study of human dynamics.
