It was organised and introduced by BCSSS Fellow Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda D\u00edaz Nafr\u00eda. In addition, the \u00a0Center was represented by Rainer Zimmermann who gave a lecture course\u00a0on the foundations of the theory of emergent systems, applying them\u00a0especially to the social discourse in urban living quarters.<\/p>\n<p>The first\u00a0two sessions of Zimmermann dealt with the foundations proper, both with respect to\u00a0a philosophical grounding of the theory and a discussion of mathematical\u00a0methods, respectively. The tenor was on the representation of communicational\u00a0processes by means of network theory. The third session introduced explicit\u00a0applications to complex urban systems. The important point was to discuss\u00a0a conjecture (itself a consequence of topos theory in fact) that relates\u00a0lexicology, syntax and semantics of the everyday communicational discourse to the\u00a0topological and geometric structure of social space. The fourth session gave\u00a0a historical overview about the structural aspects of urban evolution in Europe,\u00a0starting from the ancient polis network of the Greeks and discussing then the Roman\u00a0provincial city system from which eventually the modern European city emerged as\u00a0visible since the founding of the Commune di Bologna in 1115, leading forward to\u00a0the modern city of the 19th century of which Paris is the prime paradigm, and\u00a0finally to the city of the 20th century. A short summary of the most important\u00a0points concluded the lecture. The fifth session\u00a0gave the audience occasion to ask questions and to discuss single aspects\u00a0of the topics introduced.<\/p>\n<p>Gordana Dodig-Crnkovic from the International Society for Information Studies gave a video presentation on complexity and computation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcsss.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/jose2014.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"jose2014\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcsss.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/jose2014.jpg\" width=\"475\" height=\"272\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda D\u00edaz Nafr\u00eda during his introductory course<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/rs2ule\/events\/UC2014\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">All videos can be viewed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 27 &#8211; 30 January, 2014 , a workshop for students was held under the title &#8222;Understanding complexity: systems, emergence and evolution&#8222;.
