Step 1: create your report using the CSDC latex template

Step 2: send your report to Pierre Parrend parrend@unistra.fr, together with :

a proposal for two reviewers of the Complex System community a proposal for reports type: it can be either research or technical papers the e-department of relevance the e-laboratory of relevance

Step 3: the reviews are performed as open peer-review exchange between the reviewers and the author(s) using a shared copy of the reference template for report review.
Reviewers provide accept, major rework, minor rework or reject recommandations. Reviewers also confirm the status of research or technical reports.
In case of major or minor rework, the improvements are made by the authors according to the requirements.

Step 4: acceptation is performed at the unanimity of the reviewers. The report is then affected a unique ARK number and published on the CS-DC Forum.

The Ninth International Conference on Guided Self-Organisation (GSO-2018) : Information Geometry and Statistical Physics

OFFICIAL WEBSITE
March 26 - 28, 2018
Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences

The goal of Guided Self-Organization (GSO) is to leverage the strengths of self-organization (i.e., its simplicity, parallelization, adaptability, robustness, scalability) while still being able to direct the outcome of the self-organizing process. GSO typically has the following features:

(i) An increase in organization (i.e., structure and/or functionality) over time;

(ii) Local interactions that are not explicitly guided by any external agent;

(iii) Task-independent objectives that are combined with task-dependent constraints.

GSO-2018 is the 9th conference in a bi-annual series on GSO. Recent research is starting to indicate that information geometry, nonequilibrium statistical physics in general, and the thermodynamics of computation in particular, all play a key role in GSO. Accordingly, a particular focus of this conference will be the interplay of those three topics as revealed by their relationship with GSO.

The following specific topics are of special interest:

information-driven self-organisation complex systems and networks non-equilibrium statistical physics non-extensive statistical mechanics physics of information and computation information dynamics generalised entropies generalised relative entropies alpha geometry and alpha statistics constraints and maximum entropy principle information-geometric aspects of Fokker-Planck and Kolmogorov equations
