Complex Collective Systems

Call for Papers

9th Workshop on Complex Collective Systems held in conjunction with the 16th International Conference on Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics

August 30 - September 2, 2026, Poland

Collective aspects of complex systems attract researchers from many disciplines, covering theoretical foundations and real-world applications. Local interactions and simple rules enable effective modeling of complex collective behavior.

Accepted papers will be published in the PPAM Conference Proceedings by Springer-Verlag (LNCS series).

Papers must not exceed 14 pages (LNCS format). Submissions are handled via the PPAM website under the Workshop Complex Collective Systems track.

Topics

• Models of complex systems
• Agent-based modeling
• Cellular automata for real phenomena
• Pedestrian and traffic dynamics
• Implementation of CA and agent systems
• Granular flow modeling
• Cooperative problem solving

Important Dates

• Paper submission deadline: April 30
• Notification of acceptance: May 31
• Conference: August 30 - September 2, 2026
• Camera-ready version: November, 2, 2026
