Topics
The workshop’s topics are centered around the main objective of the CRITICS ITN, but are not limited to it. We address the problem of characterizing and predicting the occurrence of sudden changes of behavior in the dynamics of complex systems in nature, technology and society, which are often called critical transitions. More specifically, key objectives include:
- Bifurcation theory of critical transitions in time-dependent systems, random systems, networks and multiscale systems
- Application to real-world complex systems in ecology, climate science, medicine, technology and financial markets.
- Early-warning signals
- Control of complex systems
