Physics of Competition and Conflicts - COST Action MP0801 Meeting in Bulgaria
DavidR. - 2010-05-26
In a time of great uncertainty what can societies do to tackle the problems that arise in the context of the large scale social and political changes inside the European Union?
The Second Annual Meeting of COST Action MP0801, "Physics of Competition and Conflicts" is taking place at the Bulgarian Black See Resort "Sunny Beach" to bring together scientists of different disciplines on a discussion on quantitative understanding of social turmoil.
Physicists, sociologists, economists, etc are participating in a interdisciplinary debate of ideas, concepts and practices that one must embrace for these frontier problems to be solved for the benefit of the society.
During the 3 day conference, the participants discuss topics related to Competition and Conflicts in the COST workgroups:
- Information and Knowledge
- Agents including game theory
- Complex Networks
- Evolution & Co-evolution
- Technology & Risk Management
Sessions include invited talks from prominent researchers and contributions from national COST representatives. We are including the available powerpoint presentations here in the Assyst Website for you to download:
