Preconference Webcast Tutorials September 24, 2008, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. EDT (10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. PDT) Spreading Processes and Complexity Vittoria Colizza Research Scientist Complex Networks and Systems Laboratory Institute for Scientific Interchange (ISI Foundation) Emergence and Collective Phenomena in Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Systems Nigel Goldenfield Swanlund Endowed Chair, Professor Department of Physics, Institute for Genomic Biology University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign Social Networks 101 David M.J. Lazer Associate Professor of Public Policy Director of the Program on Networked Governance Harvard’s Kennedy School Page 87 Front Matter (R1-R14) General Summary (1-4) Task Group Summary 1--How would you design the acquisition and organization of the data required to completely model human biology? (5-12) Task Group Summary 2--What does it take to achieve a sustainable future? The problem of the commons: achieving a sustainable quality of life. (13-20) Task Group Summary 3--How can we enhance the robustness via interconnectivity? (21-32) Task Group Summary 4--Can engineering systems and control approaches generate new strategies for altering imbalanced macrophage profiles in human disease? (33-40) Task Group Summary 5--How can social networks aid our understanding of complexity? (41-48) Task Group Summary 6--The brain is the epitome of complexity. How will understanding the complex, linked interactions among the many types of neurons in the brain lead to knowing how the brain contributes to normal function and susceptibility to neuropsychiatric disease? (49-58) Task Group Summary 7--How can we enhance robustness of engineered systems, and how can the methods of engineering analysis be extended to address issues of complexity and management in other fields? (59-64) Task Group Summary 8--Ecological robustness: Is the biosphere sustainable? (65-72) Task Group Summary 9--Can one control flow and transport in complex systems? (73-84) Appendixes (85-86) Preconference Webcast Tutorials (87-90) Agenda (91-94) Participant List (95-108)

Below are the first 10 and last 10 pages of uncorrected machine-read text (when available) of this chapter, followed by the top 30 algorithmically extracted key phrases from the chapter as a whole.
Intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text on the opening pages of each chapter. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.
