Scope

This workshop will cover a broad range of research topics in the fields of complex system modeling, systems science and knowledge science. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: 

-  Complex system modeling and complexity

-  Computing methods for uncertainty modeling

-  Consensus methods and technologies, e.g. voter model, MCDM, etc.

-  Decision support systems

-  Dynamic social network modeling and simulation

-  Knowledge creation, creativity support, awareness support, etc.

-  Knowledge discovery: data mining, text mining and web intelligence tools

-  Knowledge systems engineering and knowledge management

-  Meta-synthetic system modeling and advanced environment, e.g. crisis & emergency management, socioeconomic system, service system, etc.

-  Social network analysis and knowledge management

-  Problem structuring methods and system methodologies

Important Dates

June 25, 2012   Electronic submission of full papers

August 1, 2012   Notification of paper acceptance

August 31, 2012   Camera-ready of accepted papers

December 4, 2012   MCS2012 workshop

December 5-7, 2012   WIC/AMT Conference

All other deadlines follow AMT2012 timetable

Papers Submission

Please submit the conference paper through the AMT2012 On-Line Paper Submission Page. All papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format only, and should have a maximum of 12 pages in the Springer LNCS/LNAI style. Please select The 12th International Workshop on Meta-Synthesis and Complex Systems during your paper submission to MCS2012.

Each full-length paper will be under at least 2 anonymous reviewers.  All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance and clarity to MCS2012. Accepted papers will be included into AMT2012 proceedings and published by Springer as a volume of the series of LNCS/LNAI, which are indexed by EI.

Selected papers presented at MCS2012 will be recommended to the following journals after the finish of the workshop, as done to the previous MCS workshops since 2005,

1) Journal of Systems Science and Complexity (SCI-E, Springer-Verlag) 2) Journal of Systems Science and Systems Engineering (SCI-E, Springer-Verlag) 3) International Journal of Knowledge and Systems Science (a journal of International Society for Knowledge and Systems Sciences published by IGI Global).
