CALL FOR PAPERS
We cordially invite prospective authors to submit papers to the “Symposium on 
Engineered & Natural Complex Systems: Modeling, Simulation & Analysis” to be 
held at the TIC-STH 2009 conference in Toronto. This interdisciplinary 
Symposium provides forum to discuss the state-of-the-art research across a 
broad spectrum of the IEEE science and technology fields of interest and is 
not limited to the traditional IEEE areas.  The Symposium topics include, but 
are not limited, to the following: 

Structure, function and dynamics of complex systems, i.e. data communication 
networks, cyberspace, transportation networks, organizational networks, power 
grids, biological, physical, social, ecological, epidemiological and other 
complex systems & networks 

Emergence, multiscale phenomena, self-organization, self-similarity, long 
range dependence, phase transition, pattern formation, synchronization, 
robustness, reliability, fragility, interdependence, cooperation, adaptation, 
evolution, clustering, small world, degree distribution, diameter, motifs, 
etc.., 

Analysis & control techniques of dynamics & performance, mean field & 
information theory of complex systems & networks

Cellular automata, agent based & individually based and other models of 
complex systems & networks and their simulations
