Description:
Utilizing complex adaptive systems in modeling has proven to be a powerful approach for understanding various aspects of life and social sciences across spatial and temporal scales. This special session will bring together a distinguished and diverse group of scholars from mathematics, biology, ecology, and epidemiology. These experts apply mathematical models and theoretical analysis to gain insights into critical biological, epidemiological, and social challenges. The session aims to provide an effective platform for presenting and discussing the latest research, fostering collaboration among professionals from different universities and career stages. Our goal is to encourage a rich exchange of ideas by assembling a group of researchers with diverse backgrounds, with a particular emphasis on promoting minority representation. The invited speakers span institutions across multiple countries and include individuals at various career stages, from early-career researchers to senior scholars. This inclusive approach ensures equal opportunities for all participants to present their findings and engage in meaningful collaborations.
