Connecting Theory and Applications Across Complex Systems
Abstract
This grant supported a workshop, held at Caltech in July 2004, that brought together experts in mathematics, physics and biology in an interactive exchange of ideas on the design, analysis, and control of complex systems. A major goal of the workshop was to bring domain experts together who normally do not interact, to explore common features of their work that can mutually reinforce and synergize theory and applications in their fields. The challenges facing experts in these domains are parallel, and their solutions are linked by common constraints. This workshop was a unique, open discussion of the threads that lead to a broader understanding of the mathematical tools necessary to tackle large problems in each area. Leaders in the areas of communications, Internet, computational complexity, biophysics, biological systems, quantum physics, statistical physics, engineering, and mathematics came together in multidisciplinary sessions, moderated and organized by other experts in these fields.
