Rationale
Spatial constraints play a fundamental role in a variety of complex dynamics, from human
mobility to tumor growth, from neural coordination to urban development, from
transportation to plant biology. However, the research work to integrate in a meaningful way
available spatial information in the systematic analysis and modelling of a system has only
just begun.

This satellite aims at providing an interdisciplinary forum for researchers working on the
broad problem of spatial complexity, to consolidate researchers working on different spatially
constrained systems. The main objectives of the workshop are to survey the latest research in
spatial complexity in different fields, to reflect on the role of space in the development of a
variety of complex systems and processes, to underpin the elementary mechanisms
responsible for the emergence of spatial heterogeneity and large-scale correlations in
spatially-embedded systems, to identify common elements of spatially constrained complex
systems, to share solutions to the challenges posed by their analysis, and to overall expand
this intriguing area of complexity science.

Top
Topics
A list of topics relevant to the Satellite includes:

Top
Contributions
The Satellite will host a couple of invited talks by eminent scientists in the field, and
welcomes oral contributions from researchers interested in theory and applications of
complex spatial analysis.

Submissions for oral contributions consist of one A4 page abstracts (preferably in PDF
format) that provide a description of the contribution and include at most one captioned
figure. Asbtacts should be sent via email to:
