Final Call for Papers - Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (SCI) 2002, Special session on:
COMPLEXITY AND ALGORITHMIC INFORMATION THEORY WITH APPLICATION TO SYSTEMS, NETWORKS, AND INFORMATION
ASSURANCE
Amit B. Kulkarni and Stephen F. Bush (General Electric Global Research Center) are organizing a
special session for SCI-2002 titled "Complexity Theory and its Applications to Systems, Networks and
Information Assurance". This session seeks to consolidate research in the areas of modeling,
management, and security in systems and networks with the large and growing body of work in
Complexity and Algorithmic Information Theory. The goal of this session is to compare traditional
state-of-the-art methods with new advances incorporating Complexity-based or Algorithmic Information
methods and discuss their applications to the health, management, and security of information
systems. We invite you to submit papers to the session on topics that can include, but are not
limited to, the following:
EXAMPLE OF RELEVANT SESSION TOPICS:
* Fundamental Relationships between Computation and Communication
* Controlled Access of Information, System Vulnerability Detection and Policy Enforcement
* Quantification and Security Metrics
* Self-Organization and Composition of System Solutions
* Applications of 'Physics Of Information' to Information Systems
* Case Studies Involving the Use of Complexity in Information Systems
* Advances in Estimation and Measurement of Complexity
* Novel Definitions of Complexity with Emphasis on Implementation Feasibility and Facilitation of
System Health
* Quantitative Comparison and Contrast of Complexity Estimators
If you are interested in contributing a paper to the session, please email kulkarni(a)crd.ge.com
<mailto:kulkarni@crd.ge.com> <mailto:kulkarni@crd.ge.com> or bushsf(a)crd.ge.com
<mailto:bushsf@crd.ge.com> the full paper or extended abstract by midnight June 30. [Note: new
deadline]
