Since its release in May 2002, Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of
Science has generated immense interest across many areas of science
and beyond.
NKS 2003 will be the first conference devoted to the ideas and
implications of A New Kind of Science.
The conference will bring together individuals from a broad range of
fields to learn and interact and to get involved with NKS.
Minicourse by Stephen Wolfram A unique series of lectures covering key facets of the basic science and
applications of NKS
Discovering the world of simple programs How to do NKS computer
experiments How to make models with
simple programs Implications for
biology Towards a truly fundamental
theory of physics Processes of
perception and analysis The Principle of
Computational Equivalence
Extending the foundations of mathematics
New directions for computer
science Historical and philosophical
perspectives The future of NKS
Conference
Specialized sessions focusing on implications and applications for:
Computer Science Biological Sciences Social Sciences Physical
Sciences Fundamental Physics Mathematics Foundations
of Mathematics
Philosophy Future Technology and more
Workshops and case studies on:
Modeling Computer Experimentation Defining NKS Problems
NKS Explorer
NKS-Based Education and more...
Panel discussions with experts on selected
topics
Contributed poster and demo
sessions providing opportunities to showcase NKS-based work
NKS 2003 will be appropriate for anyone interested in learning about or
pursuing the ideas of A New Kind of Science. Dr. Wolfram's minicourse
lectures will assume a background of general scientific knowledge at a basic
college level. Specialized sessions may assume graduate-level knowledge of
relevant fields.
