The Conference on Complex Systems (CCS) is the biggest and most important annual meeting of the international complex systems community. It comes under the auspices of the Complex Systems Society. Since its inception in 2004, CCS had always been Europe-based, but in 2015 & 2017, it moved to North & Latin America respectively.
In 2019, CCS will come to Asia for the first time. Held in Singapore at Nanyang Technological University, it promises to be an intellectually stimulating experience to be matched by an equally exciting social programme.
Submission Guidelines & Important Dates
Please submit extended abstracts (with figures and references, up to 2 pages) to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ccs2019. We welcome the following categories:
- Oral presentations are short 15-min talks, followed by 5-min questions and answers for the Parallel Sessions (30 Sep 2019, 1 Oct 2019, 4 Oct 2019), on one of the main themes listed in this call.
- Posters will be displayed prominently for a whole day, during the Poster Sessions on 30 Sep 2019, 1 Oct 2019, and 4 Oct 2019. Poster presenters are expected to be at their poster during the morning and afternoon coffee breaks.
- Ignites are short 5-min talks without questions and answers to share exciting research ideas, during special Ignite Sessions.
Abstract submission will open on 4 Jan 2019, and close on 30 Apr 2019. Successive authors will be notified by 15 Jun 2019, and presenters must register by the 5 Jul 2019 (the end of the Early Bird period) to have their presentations confirmed in the final programme. Each presenter can be registered for at most two presentations during the Parallel Sessions (not including presentations for the Plenary Sessions or Satellite Sessions).
We also welcome the submission of proposals for:
- Satellites sessions, which will be held on Wednesday, 2 Oct 2019 and Thursday, 3 Oct 2019. A satellite session may be either a half-day session or a full-day session. Longer 2-day satellite sessions will also be considered. Each satellite is organized and managed by its own committee, who are also responsible for reviewing proposed papers and working with presenters in the session.
Satellite proposals must include the following information:
- Title of Satellite Session
- Duration: 0.5/1.0/2.0 days
- Name(s) of Organizer(s)
- Motivation & Purpose
- Potential Invited Speakers
- Expected Number of Contributing Speakers & Participants
Satellite proposals should be submitted by email to CCS2019@ntu.edu.sg between 28 Jan 2019 and 4 Apr 2019. Organizers of successful proposals will be notified by 28 Apr 2019, so that they can set up their own website, and make their own CFP. Satellite organizers can decide on their own timelines, but we recommend that they close abstract submission by 10 Jul 2019, and notify successful satellite participants by 31 Jul 2019. Satellite organizers are then to ensure their participants are registered for CCS2019, so that they can submit their satellite programs by 10 Aug 2019.
