About Complexity...

http://www.santafe.edu/ - site of the Santa Fe Institute (SFI), probably the most important research center about theory of complexity. The Santa Fe Institute is a private, non-profit, multidisciplinary research and education center, founded in 1984. Since its founding SFI has devoted itself to creating a new kind of scientific research community, pursuing emerging science.

http://necsi.org/ - The New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI) is an independent educational and research institution dedicated to advancing the study of complex systems. Complex systems have multiple interacting components whose collective behavior cannot be simply inferred from the behavior of components. The recognition that understanding the parts cannot explain collective behavior has led to various new concepts and methodologies that are affecting all fields of science and engineering, and are being applied to technology, business and even social policy. NECSI was established as a joint effort of faculty of New England academic institutions for the advancement of communication and collaboration outside of institutional and departmental boundaries.

http://www.complexityscience.org/index.php - The Complex Systems Network of Excellence, "Exystence", is funded by the European Commission to develop collaboration among European researchers interested in Complex Systems, from fundamental concepts to applications, and involving academia, business and industry.

http://www.ulb.ac.be/cenoliw3/ - The Center for Nonlinear Phenomena and Complex Systems is established at Universite Libre de Bruxelles, where Ilya Progogine, the most important scientist about theory of complexity, worked. It is dedicated to promoting nonlinear science by conducting research and training in this interdisciplinary area, by participating in national and international collaborations, and by organizing workshops and advanced courses. Its main expertise is in thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory, stochastic processes, quantum physics, physical chemistry as well as simulation techniques. The tools developed in this framework are applied to the study of complex systems, from chemical kinetics, fluid mechanics and materials science to biology.

http://www.worldscinet.com/acs/mkt/editorial.shtml - Advances in Complex Systems is a quarterly journal that aims to provide a unique medium of communication for multidisciplinary approaches, either empirical or theoretical, to the study of complex systems. Its goals is to promote cross-fertilization of ideas among all the scientific disciplines having to deal with their own complex systems, including biology, physics, engineering, economics, cognitive science and the social sciences.

http://www.comdig.org/ - Complexity digest disseminates online complexity science related information to anybody interested in the topic. It uses the nature of connections about complexity to speed up its evolutionary development and extend its interactions crossing over disciplines, levels of knowledge and geography to find new research and new applications
