The second chapter of this trilogy is focused on understanding what many consider to be the canonical model of relational biology, (M,R)-systems. As we will see, this model lacks an adequate biological interpretation, so it is necessary to extend Rosen's ideas to the biochemical realm if we really want to understand what life is.
The Computational School on Modeling Social and collective behavior (COSMOS) will take place in RIKEN, Tokyo, between 29 Sept - 3 Oct. Application deadline is 25th April.
The aim of LANET is to provide with a forum to join all scientists who are somehow related to the research on Network Science in Latin America. The rapid growth of the field of Network Science in the last two decades has manifested in the form of schools, workshops and conferences in Latin America. However, the creation of LANET as a stable and periodic forum devoted to Network Science will further spur the formation of research groups interested in the field and help to establish it as a discipline across Latin American Universities and Research Institutions.
Welcome to the 2025 International Conference on Embodied Cognitive Science, hosted by the Embodied Cognitive Science Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan. This year’s keynotes will focus on the theme of Agency Across Scales - From Cells to Societies.
Interested in philosophy of AI, cognitive architectures or related topics? Consider submitting a paper to this year's AGI conference, to be held in hybrid format at Reykjavík University, Iceland.
The first part of this trilogy is devoted to discussing the difference between model and simulation, one of the cornerstones for understanding relational biology. How true is it that Robert Rosen denied the possibility of simulating life? As we shall see, his insistence on the non-algorithmic nature of life should be understood as a call to rethink biological modeling, not as a categorical denial of simulation efforts.
The International Workshop on Complex Networks, a satellite event to StatPhys29, aims to together scientists, practitioners and stakeholders in the stunning setting of Fondazione Giorgio Cini, located on San Giorgio Maggiore Island in Venice, Italy.
ACM Collective Intelligence 2025 brings together a wide range of disciplines to discuss the shared or group intelligence that emerges when individuals work together, often with the help of technology. This year’s theme focuses on Diverse Intelligence. We invite research and perspectives on how we can deeply understand and build systems that incorporate animal, human, machine and hybrid intelligence to achieve a level of problem-solving capability that surpasses the abilities of any single member.
The goal of this course is to help produce a community of leaders that is equally knowledgeable in neuroscience, cognitive science, and computer science and will lead the scientific understanding of intelligence and the development of true biologically inspired AI.
Are you interested in developing the next-generation of evolutionary computational algorithms for biodesign? This PhD program is focused on creating algorithms that generate novel functionality, capacity for improvement, increasing complexity, and knowledge.
