In 2002, the Japanese government launched the Center of Excellence (COE) Program of the 21st Century. In 2004, the project "Topological Science and Technology" was chosen for the COE program. This COE program aims to explore complex phenomena in various scientific fields (multi-degree-of-freedom, nonequilibrium, non-linear, hierarchical structures) from a topological perspective. This Symposium is presented by this COE program.

SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM

The complexity in the world around us results, in many cases, from finely balanced systems in a state known as criticality. This is the case for not only substantial but also insubstantial structures such as networks with no concept of distance. In order to reveal the universal features and formation mechanisms in such a wide range of complex structures, it is important to study their topology. The International Symposium on “Topological Aspects of Critical Systems and Networks”, sponsored by The 21st Century COE program “Topological Science and Technology”, provides an interdisciplinary forum on the topological aspects of general networks and critical systems for physicists, chemists, biologists, mathematicians, medical scientists, social scientists, and other related researchers.
