If someone wants to go next week: there's parking close by (underground) for $1/day, you get to taste a lot of stuff (including weird Native American tea, which we pretty much decided is much better w/o sugar), and there was an artist's market across the street.<br /> <br /> == Trains! ==<br /> <br /> The [http://www.cumbrestoltec.com/ Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad] is one of the longest and most beautiful sections of narrow gauge rail in the US. It is a bit of a hike away, so some car rental might be necessary but it would be awesome!<br /> <br /> * exciting! would like to hear more details on what this field trip may be like. [[Anna Pechenkina]]<br /> <br /> EDIT: More info!<br /> <br /> It seems that we could do this either Saturday the 19 or Sunday the 20. Trains leave every day at 10:00AM from Charma, NM. Charma is about 2:15 hours away by car, and they recommend that you get there 30 minutes early, which means a departure time around 7:00AM. The ride that seems most feasible is the Chama to Osier Roundtrip, which is $75 a person (quite expensive, although it includes lunch if that helps?). The train would get back into Charma at around 4:00PM. I had initially thought of driving out the night before or staying over the night or something, but it seems to me that we could do this as a day trip. I don't have a car but I will figure out how to rent one if people are really interested! More info about rates [https://www.cumbrestoltec.com/schedule-rates/ here]! -- [[Sarah Wise]]<br /> <br /> <br /> == Board Games ==<br /> I happen to have a nice collection of fun and fairly quick strategic board games. I've talked to a few people who seem interested in getting together from time to time to play some games and unwind. If you think you'd be interested, send me an email or just come up and say hi. I'm thinking our first gathering may be Sunday evening. The games are very easy to learn (so don't be intimidated) and they all exhibit complex behavior (sorry, couldn't resist). Think of it as a fun way to meet people in a new, enjoyable context. [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> We should also get people together to play Mafia! It's kind of a card game, and lots of fun. We were thinking Friday night after the SFI reception could be a good time! [[Megan Olsen]]<br /> <br /> I'd be interested in this [[Micael Ehn]]<br /> <br /> Board games! always fun. Perhaps one of our projects should have been on the effects of being able to use proper nouns in Scrabble. :) ([[Gavin Fay]])<br /> <br /> I'm interested [[Michael Szell]]<br /> <br /> Games tonight (sunday) in the coffee shop. Late notice but come on by if you're interested. I'll be around... and Andrew brought games too! [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> I think I'll just start bringing a few games over to the coffee shop each evening. If you want to play a game, come by and see who's around. There seems to usually be enough people nearby that starting a game should be fairly easy. If you're interested in a longer game, or want to make sure people are around, let me know and we'll work on organizing something more formal. [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> Games tonight (Saturday), We'll be above the Bread Loaf party, hopefully in the room 'behind' the lecture hall on the 2nd floor. I'm planning on starting around 9:30, so come up and join us if you want a break from the party, or if you're looking for something else to do tonight. [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Bandelier Hike / Valles Caldera / Los Alamos ***COMPLETE***==<br /> <br /> Tom, JP and others are planning a field trip to [http://www.nps.gov/band/ Bandelier National Monument] for Saturday June 12. &lt;b&gt;[[Bandelier Trip 2010| Please sign up]]&lt;/b&gt; so we know how many people are going.<br /> <br /> We'll depart the parking circle at &lt;strike&gt; 8:00 &lt;/strike&gt;10:00 am, head up to Bandelier to do some hiking &lt;strike&gt;before it gets really hot&lt;/strike&gt; when it's really hot, then head up to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valles_Caldera Valles Caldera] and Jemez Caldera in the early afternoon. A trip to the [http://www.lanl.gov/museum/ Bradbury Museum] in Los Alamos will finish the sightseeing, and then maybe dinner in Santa Fe?<br /> <br /> ==Isotopes Game (BASEBALL!!!)***COMPLETE***==<br /> This was sooo much fun. We sat in the first row, got two foul balls and three mini helmets! What a good time! <br /> <br /> I am going to the Isotopes baseball game tomorrow (Thursday) night in Albuquerque. The game starts at 7pm, we'll leave at around 6pm. We can stay for as long as we like. I have 4 seats in my car. Who's coming with me? Beer, hotdogs, and baseball, what could be better :-)?

Any takers?<br /> <br /> I think it would be fun to do after the SFI day on Wednesday. Let's plan ~ 6:00, depart by walking from SFI? It's about a mile and a half. ([[jp]])<br /> <br /> * Did I miss this? If so, there should be another one. It's not really a valid homage to the paper if there are not iterated plays!

The Taos box is meant to be very exciting, but still suitable for first time rafters. So far it is my husband and I, but if anyone else wants to join, you're more than welcome. A couple of caveats: 1) it is EXPENSIVE (~$120) and 2) it is all day (which may interfere with projects. However, if this doesn't put you off, please let me know!

Shiva Mayer]]<br /> <br /> <br /> # It will take about 3.5 hours to get there. The tour will start at 2:00 sharp - we are actually joining another previously scheduled tour. If we leave by 9:30 that will give us time to stop off for a bite of lunch. The tour will last about 1.5 - 2 hours. We will be outside - could be cold, sunny, and/or windy - so check the weather. No food there and make sure to bring water.<br /> <br /> == Rodeo! - but on Wednesday night (the 23rd)??

The tram takes you up to the top of Sandia Peak (elevation 10,378ft, 3,163m) where there are various hiking trails and scenic viewpoints. The tram operates until 9pm everyday of the week and costs $20 per person. Anybody interested in going?

We'll get to the tram at 6:45ish and thus have 2 hours to hangout on top of the mountain. We'll catch the last tram back down at 9pm and be back at St Johns at about 10:30 Whadda'yall say?

It is a 7 mile journey from the parking lot to the peak with an elevation gain of about 3000ft. Various websites recommend getting off the peak before 2pm to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. This implies (assuming 4hrs to the top and an hour lunch) that we need to start hiking around 8am, which in turn means leaving SJC at about 7:15am (or earlier)! I understand this is a serious commitment, so is there any interest in doing this hike with me?? If so I will acquire a trail map and directions to the trail-head parking lot and any other information that will be useful.

[[Anna Pechenkina]]<br /> <br /> EDIT: More info!<br /> <br /> It seems that we could do this either Saturday the 19 or Sunday the 20. Trains leave every day at 10:00AM from Charma, NM. Charma is about 2:15 hours away by car, and they recommend that you get there 30 minutes early, which means a departure time around 7:00AM. The ride that seems most feasible is the Chama to Osier Roundtrip, which is $75 a person (quite expensive, although it includes lunch if that helps?). The train would get back into Charma at around 4:00PM. I had initially thought of driving out the night before or staying over the night or something, but it seems to me that we could do this as a day trip. I don't have a car but I will figure out how to rent one if people are really interested!

Look up for the Wed Rodeo plans.<br /> <br /> == Board Games ==<br /> I happen to have a nice collection of fun and fairly quick strategic board games. I've talked to a few people who seem interested in getting together from time to time to play some games and unwind. If you think you'd be interested, send me an email or just come up and say hi. I'm thinking our first gathering may be Sunday evening. The games are very easy to learn (so don't be intimidated) and they all exhibit complex behavior (sorry, couldn't resist). Think of it as a fun way to meet people in a new, enjoyable context. [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> We should also get people together to play Mafia! It's kind of a card game, and lots of fun. We were thinking Friday night after the SFI reception could be a good time! [[Megan Olsen]]<br /> <br /> I'd be interested in this [[Micael Ehn]]<br /> <br /> Board games! always fun.

Late notice but come on by if you're interested. I'll be around... and Andrew brought games too! [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> I think I'll just start bringing a few games over to the coffee shop each evening. If you want to play a game, come by and see who's around. There seems to usually be enough people nearby that starting a game should be fairly easy. If you're interested in a longer game, or want to make sure people are around, let me know and we'll work on organizing something more formal. [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> Games tonight (Saturday), We'll be above the Bread Loaf party, hopefully in the room 'behind' the lecture hall on the 2nd floor. I'm planning on starting around 9:30, so come up and join us if you want a break from the party, or if you're looking for something else to do tonight.

It is a 7 mile journey from the parking lot to the peak with an elevation gain of about 3000ft. Various websites recommend getting off the peak before 2pm to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. This implies (assuming 4hrs to the top and an hour lunch) that we need to start hiking around 8am, which in turn means leaving SJC at about 7:15am (or earlier)! I understand this is a serious commitment, so is there any interest in doing this hike with me?? If so I will acquire a trail map and directions to the trail-head parking lot and any other information that will be useful.

It is a bit of a hike away, so some car rental might be necessary but it would be awesome!<br /> <br /> * exciting! would like to hear more details on what this field trip may be like. [[Anna Pechenkina]]<br /> <br /> EDIT: More info!<br /> <br /> It seems that we could do this either Saturday the 19 or Sunday the 20. Trains leave every day at 10:00AM from Charma, NM. Charma is about 2:15 hours away by car, and they recommend that you get there 30 minutes early, which means a departure time around 7:00AM. The ride that seems most feasible is the Chama to Osier Roundtrip, which is $75 a person (quite expensive, although it includes lunch if that helps?). The train would get back into Charma at around 4:00PM. I had initially thought of driving out the night before or staying over the night or something, but it seems to me that we could do this as a day trip. I don't have a car but I will figure out how to rent one if people are really interested!

([[Borys Wrobel]])).<br /> * thinking about it [[Erik Van den broecke]]<br /> <br /> == Board Games ==<br /> I happen to have a nice collection of fun and fairly quick strategic board games. I've talked to a few people who seem interested in getting together from time to time to play some games and unwind. If you think you'd be interested, send me an email or just come up and say hi. I'm thinking our first gathering may be Sunday evening. The games are very easy to learn (so don't be intimidated) and they all exhibit complex behavior (sorry, couldn't resist). Think of it as a fun way to meet people in a new, enjoyable context. [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> We should also get people together to play Mafia! It's kind of a card game, and lots of fun. We were thinking Friday night after the SFI reception could be a good time! [[Megan Olsen]]<br /> <br /> I'd be interested in this [[Micael Ehn]]<br /> <br /> Board games! always fun. Perhaps one of our projects should have been on the effects of being able to use proper nouns in Scrabble. :) ([[Gavin Fay]])<br /> <br /> I'm interested [[Michael Szell]]<br /> <br /> Games tonight (sunday) in the coffee shop. Late notice but come on by if you're interested. I'll be around... and Andrew brought games too! [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> I think I'll just start bringing a few games over to the coffee shop each evening. If you want to play a game, come by and see who's around. There seems to usually be enough people nearby that starting a game should be fairly easy. If you're interested in a longer game, or want to make sure people are around, let me know and we'll work on organizing something more formal. [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> Games tonight (Saturday), We'll be above the Bread Loaf party, hopefully in the room 'behind' the lecture hall on the 2nd floor. I'm planning on starting around 9:30, so come up and join us if you want a break from the party, or if you're looking for something else to do tonight.

If anyone is interested in an introduction to bayesian networks and bayesian inference, I'd be delighted to give one. ([[Megan Olsen]])<br /> * I'd be delighted to listen, although you would also have to explain what I can do with these [[User:Ligtvoet|Ligtvoet]]<br /> <br /> ** I know Bayesian approaches are used A LOT in biology...if you do make this tutorial, I would love to take part on it! And I could think about some biological ideas we can use as examples to help people understand their usefulness (Vanessa Weinberger)<br /> <br /> * Since I'm (almost) completely self-taught on Bayes, I always take advantage of opportunities to listen to others on the subject. It would also be interesting to hear a non-social science perspective on the topic...I guess what I'm saying is, count me in. ([[Thomson McFarland]])<br /> <br /> * I'm also self-taught (or teaching). Would love to join in. ([[Susanne Shultz]])<br /> <br /> * Ditto, maybe one weekend morning?

Post below if you have a preference, we will set a time/day tonight (Monday) or tomorrow.<br /> <br /> [[Thomson McFarland]] I vote Friday after lunch. It's looking like Thursday is the only free night I have this week and I am (a) selfish and (b) hoping to take advantage of any first mover/first announcer advantage that may exist in this setting.<br /> <br /> ==Evolutionary Game Theory==<br /> Quite a few people were interested about Evolutionary Game Theory.<br /> If anyone wants to know more I can give a brief outlook on the traditional approach of evolutionary game theory and some recent developments in the field.<br /> ([[Chaitanya Gokhale]])<br /> <br /> * that would be cool ([[Giovanni Petri]])<br /> * In.

I was thinking of Monday but then you may already have meetings planned out so does Wednesday evening after dinner sound good? 7:00 pm?<br /> ([[Chaitanya Gokhale]])<br /> * Thanks Chaitanya! Wed eve at 7pm is Aaron Clauset's lecture - I suspect there may be some overlap with the audience. Given how busy our schedules seem to be getting perhaps later on that evening might work? I would suggest another evening but then there's Alfred Hubler's labs going on too. eek! ([[Gavin Fay]])<br /> * What about thursday evening, after Hubler's Lab? I think that at 8 p.m should be OK. ([[Roberta Sinatra]])<br /> * Yes, thursday evening is perfectly fine. This way we still get the whole friday afternoon off as I dont want to mess with people's plans for a long weekend. ([[Chaitanya Gokhale]])<br /> * Thursday (17/06) evening 7 pm looks like a nice slot. Hubler's lab is at 6. If the majority doesnt have any problem with this then I am going to post it in the schedule by the end of the day (16/06) ([[Chaitanya Gokhale]])<br /> * Okay guys and girls, Greg would like to spend some time tomorrow evening with probability theory and I think its great too so I have finally just shifted the whole thing to next week, Monday evening. Also I think its better as we will be hearing about Evolution in the morning from David Krakauer. Its already in the schedule. ([[Chaitanya Gokhale]])<br /> <br /> == Python ==<br /> ([[Roberta Sinatra]]) I know there are some people knowing python pretty well. I have promised myself a thousand of times to learn it, but actually I have never managed to take a book and start programming...

It is a 7 mile journey from the parking lot to the peak with an elevation gain of about 3000ft. Various websites recommend getting off the peak before 2pm to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. This implies (assuming 4hrs to the top and an hour lunch) that we need to start hiking around 8am, which in turn means leaving SJC at about 7:15am (or earlier)! I understand this is a serious commitment, so is there any interest in doing this hike with me?? If so I will acquire a trail map and directions to the trail-head parking lot and any other information that will be useful.

There is a $35 cancellation fee per person, so I don't want to confirm a resservation until I hear back from everyone interested in going. We need to supply height, weight, and skill level for each rider. There is a weight limit of 200 lbs.<br /> I can try to reserve for Sunday morning (June 13), but they will need all information by 8 tonight (Saturday June 12). If that doesn't work out, we can reserve a Thursday (June 17) evening ride at 6 for either 1 or 2 hours ($55/$80 per person cash, add $5 for credit card). No shorts or sandals, sneakers are OK. About a 40 minute commute from Santa Fe Plaza area. Please email me (amjohnson9@cox.net) your height, weight, and skill level and which rides (either/or) you would commit to going on.

If someone wants to go next week: there's parking close by (underground) for $1/day, you get to taste a lot of stuff (including weird Native American tea, which we pretty much decided is much better w/o sugar), and there was an artist's market across the street.<br /> <br /> == Trains! ==<br /> <br /> The [http://www.cumbrestoltec.com/ Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad] is one of the longest and most beautiful sections of narrow gauge rail in the US. It is a bit of a hike away, so some car rental might be necessary but it would be awesome!<br /> <br /> * exciting! would like to hear more details on what this field trip may be like. [[Anna Pechenkina]]<br /> <br /> EDIT: More info!<br /> <br /> It seems that we could do this either Saturday the 19 or Sunday the 20. Trains leave every day at 10:00AM from Charma, NM. Charma is about 2:15 hours away by car, and they recommend that you get there 30 minutes early, which means a departure time around 7:00AM. The ride that seems most feasible is the Chama to Osier Roundtrip, which is $75 a person (quite expensive, although it includes lunch if that helps?). The train would get back into Charma at around 4:00PM. I had initially thought of driving out the night before or staying over the night or something, but it seems to me that we could do this as a day trip. I don't have a car but I will figure out how to rent one if people are really interested!

That's more like 'after CSSS' than 'after hours', but maybe someone will be intererested in going? ([[Borys Wrobel]])).<br /> <br /> <br /> == Board Games ==<br /> I happen to have a nice collection of fun and fairly quick strategic board games. I've talked to a few people who seem interested in getting together from time to time to play some games and unwind. If you think you'd be interested, send me an email or just come up and say hi. I'm thinking our first gathering may be Sunday evening. The games are very easy to learn (so don't be intimidated) and they all exhibit complex behavior (sorry, couldn't resist). Think of it as a fun way to meet people in a new, enjoyable context. [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> We should also get people together to play Mafia! It's kind of a card game, and lots of fun. We were thinking Friday night after the SFI reception could be a good time! [[Megan Olsen]]<br /> <br /> I'd be interested in this [[Micael Ehn]]<br /> <br /> Board games! always fun. Perhaps one of our projects should have been on the effects of being able to use proper nouns in Scrabble. :) ([[Gavin Fay]])<br /> <br /> I'm interested [[Michael Szell]]<br /> <br /> Games tonight (sunday) in the coffee shop. Late notice but come on by if you're interested. I'll be around... and Andrew brought games too! [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> I think I'll just start bringing a few games over to the coffee shop each evening. If you want to play a game, come by and see who's around. There seems to usually be enough people nearby that starting a game should be fairly easy. If you're interested in a longer game, or want to make sure people are around, let me know and we'll work on organizing something more formal. [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> == White Water Rafting ==<br /> We are organising a rafting trip down the Class IV Taos box next Sunday the 20th. The Taos box is meant to be very exciting, but still suitable for first time rafters. So far it is my husband and I, but if anyone else wants to join, you're more than welcome. A couple of caveats: 1) it is EXPENSIVE (~$120) and 2) it is all day (which may interfere with projects. However, if this doesn't put you off, please let me know!

The tram takes you up to the top of Sandia Peak (elevation 10,378ft, 3,163m) where there are various hiking trails and scenic viewpoints. The tram operates until 9pm everyday of the week and costs $20 per person. Anybody interested in going?

Any takers?<br /> <br /> I think it would be fun to do after the SFI day on Wednesday. Let's plan ~ 6:00, depart by walking from SFI? It's about a mile and a half.

<p>Drew: </p> <hr /> <div>{{CSSS 2010 Santa Fe}}<br /> <br /> Use this page as an informal forum to share your opinion and discuss anything at CSSS'10.<br /> <br /> * [[Michael Szell]]: Some people asked me about the URL of my online game. Here it is: http://www.pardus.at - Enjoy! :) (The tutorial may some time to complete..)<br /> <br /> * June 7 ([[Ana Hocevar]]): So I know my official day of contribution on the blog is not until tomorrow, but I wanted to share this with those who are interested. When I get inspired by someone giving a good talk, I have a tendency to write down some of the statements I find encouraging or funny and so on. So here are my favorite quotes from the first day of lectures (and I hope the lecturers don't mind this):<br /> <br /> &quot;If there is one thing you should learn at the summer school, it's to speak up.&quot; -Dan Rockmore<br /> <br /> &quot;Science is a social thing.&quot; - Dan Rockmore<br /> <br /> &quot;You start with a beautiful idea and end up with reality.&quot; - Dan Rockmore<br /> <br /> &quot;Commit to taking advantage of this opportunity.&quot; -Dan Rockmore<br /> <br /> &quot;Let it all marinate up there.&quot; -Dan Rockmore<br /> <br /> &quot;And wear sunscreen.&quot; -Ginger Richardson<br /> <br /> [[Dan Rockmore]]: Here is a link to the NYR piece I mentioned today <br /> http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2010/jun/24/other-side-science/<br /> Good to meet you all and looking fwd to a great CSSS.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Monday June 7==<br /> Maria Opazo&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Alison Snyder&lt;br&gt;===<br /> <br /> I thought it might be interesting to give my perspective on today as a journalist and writer. What I starred and underlined in my notebook, what stuck in my head and why.<br /> <br /> First as a journalist…<br /> <br /> <br /> Schooling Fish<br /> <br /> I’m familiar with some of Iain’s research – the beautiful images and descriptions of phenomena that many curious people outside the sciences have seen and thought about lends itself to visual storytelling -- but today was the first time I heard him discuss his fish work. In particular, I’m going to follow what he’s looking at in terms of how individuals influence others in the group and the (preliminary?) finding that some individuals consistently influence the group. Because it is unpublished, I’ll check in with him periodically to discuss in more detail and see how the research is progressing as well as whether and when he might expect to publish the research.<br /> <br /> <br /> Moiré-ing <br /> <br /> Have you ever seen someone on TV who's striped shirt competed with the gravity of what they were saying? In TV production we pay editors large amounts of money for hours of work to fix moiré-ing so the term “numerical moiré-ing” caught my attention. <br /> <br /> <br /> Chaotic Mixing<br /> <br /> Liz mentioned her CU colleague who described clams that open up to exploit chaotic mixing to mix up their gametes. The counterintuitive idea of systems not only embracing chaos but exploiting it, is a provocative theme to explore in a general audience story. To most people, chaos is something to be avoided.<br /> <br /> <br /> Ideas that got my attention as a writer…<br /> <br /> <br /> Gas Gauges and Indelible Images<br /> <br /> In opening her lecture, Liz used the metaphor of her old car’s gas gauge to illustrate non-linearity. The gauge stayed on full then plunged when the tank was near empty rather than dropping as the gas level dropped. While it was a brief aside about a concept that is very easily understandable to a scientist, it might not be to a non-scientist. To someone who has never heard of or thought about non-linearity, they will understand it the first time they hear this metaphor and they’ll remember it. Even if they forget what the gas needle was illustrating, they can back track. Non-linearity becomes an indelible idea. <br /> <br /> As a writer, the metaphor also reminded me of the power of a simple idea in telling a story. One of the most difficult tasks is parsing the scale of what a story is about. Sometimes the most meaningful way to tell a story about the Empire State building is to describe one of the bricks.<br /> <br /> <br /> In other words, today was full of lots of ideas about research to follow and reminders about how to effectively communicate even the most basic of ideas and the power of doing just that.<br /> <br /> Looking forward to tomorrow…<br /> <br /> ===Kyla Dahlin===<br /> <br /> My notes from today are mostly graphs, equations, and Dan's quoted quote about &quot;what if biologists had tried to develop a theory of gravity.&quot; I'd love to see a debate between the math/physics/universality camp and the biology/ecology/sociology/everything is different camp. Seems like an interesting tension within Complex Systems folks. <br /> <br /> So far the self-organization into project groups seems to be going well, and I'm sure it will evolve over time. Tonight a few of us talked about the pressure to collaborate being somewhat foreign - so much of PhD work is so solitary. I'm sure the sociologists would love to track the networks that are forming, the different players, and our final results.<br /> <br /> And I think we all are trying to maintain a balance of fun, thinking, working, and staying level in a world with constantly flowing coffee.<br /> <br /> ===Lucas Antiqueira===<br /> <br /> Some first impressions:<br /> <br /> This first day of lectures was really nice. I was exposed to subjects I'm not quite familiar with, lectures were excellent and inspiring, projects started to evolve. The process of getting to know people continued, there are so many brilliant minds here. <br /> <br /> The summer school is a dream coming true for me. I've been in Santa Fe for only a few days, and I can definitely tell that these days are among the most gratifying in my academic life. And things have just begun!<br /> <br /> Many thanks for the SFI/St.John's staff for the support! Not to mention the food, which is excellent by the way!<br /> <br /> ==Tuesday June 8==<br /> <br /> ===Andrew Banooni===<br /> Some of you have heard me use this analogy, and I’m certain that many others of you have heard it elsewhere, but they say that the amount of material there is to learn in medical school is a bit like trying to drink water from a fire hydrant. One thing that I had not realized until attending yesterday and today’s lectures, however, is how homogeneous that information seems, now that I’ve gotten a taste of the multidisciplinary approach here at SFI. Sure, there are a tremendous number of disease processes that involve vastly different physiologic systems, and don’t even get me started on all the bugs and drugs we have to learn, but it’s all medical. We don’t sit and discuss econometrics (actually I don’t think I’ve ever had a discussion about econometrics), or the influence of individual fish on collective behavior. Over the past two days, I’ve dusted off cobwebs from parts of my brain that I feel I haven’t used in years. I don’t mean to say that I am rusty in certain topics (and completely new to many others), but rather that I feel that in the past 48 hours I have been thinking in ways I haven’t had to think in my graduate training. In medicine, you can survive by learning a tremendous number of facts and then regurgitating them at the appropriate time. We observe, we recognize patterns, we diagnose, we treat. I am so thankful for this refreshing reminder that there is so much more enrichment to be had, that the medical problem I am trying to solve can share many similarities with a physical, financial, or aeronautic one my colleague might be struggling with. I feel inspired by every one of you, very lucky to be here, and I look forward to three amazing weeks! <br /> <br /> ===Andreas Ligtvoet===<br /> ====Liz====<br /> * It's a skill to explain difficult stuff in an easy way.<br /> * Lots of dusting off of things I should know, but forgot. <br /> <br /> ====Peter====<br /> * Some interesting discussion about the end of theory due to access to large amount of data. It doesn't help you understand stuff, though.<br /> * Walmart seems to have enormous amounts of data. A colleague of mine suggested finding ecologies of consumer products. What type of furniture goes best with red napkins?<br /> * We can create huge amounts of non-existant networks and have fun with them.<br /> * An average node degree of about 4 leads to hairballs.

Not too much, says Tom. However, what good is an &quot;economic&quot; model that shows a Bolzman distribution? His answer is that this is a natural law in other words, you will never make an economy where the Bolzman distribution does not exist. It is even worse if you allow people to invest.<br /> **In the state of Ilinois, Pi was legally defined as 3.<br /> **Stochastics from στοχαστικός, from στοχάζομαι ‘aim at a target, guess’, from στόχος ‘an aim, a guess’.<br /> **Mention power law and get published!<br /> *Immunize Pig/Mexican/Flu: make use of power law in a network =&gt; your friends are more connected than you are!

What's this ID thing about anyway? Don't I look old enough?<br /> <br /> ===Xin Wang===<br /> The topics today are involved in nonlinear dynamics, complex networks and collective behaviors. I am very interested in those topics before this summer school, and through lectures I get the deeper understanding about those three areas.<br /> <br /> But what impresses me most is that the students here are very active and it is different from the situation in China. In the meantime, I enjoy the joy of communicating with people from different backgrounds and getting cross-field collaboration.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Ana Hocevar===<br /> <br /> I am not a blog person really, I've never written a blog before, but I guess CSSS is also a great opportunity for trying out new things unrelated to science. So, here I go.<br /> <br /> As many others, I can't get over how amazing Iain Couzin's talks were. I am very impressed and greatly inspired. Usually attending physics conferences that left me wondering what it was that I was missing, Iain I think made me realize I prefer systems that include things with eyes and wings. Or perhaps gills? Amazing work in my opinion, really.<br /> <br /> I should also thank Liz Bradley for giving incredibly clear lectures on nonlinear dynamics. From the courses I had on chaos, I wouldn't imagine such an intuitive presentation of the topic is possible. It certainly isn't easy, so: Liz, you rock!<br /> <br /> <br /> I haven't been enjoying only the lectures, though. Dancing to no music with Andrew, listening to Jonathan playing the violin, stimulating discussions over lunch or breakfast, great food (we even have ice-cream!) and so much more...<br /> <br /> So with such great company, such cool science and so many wonderful things still ahead of us, I can only say I am very grateful to be here.<br /> <br /> ===Borys Wrobel===<br /> I will not be the first to say that Liz Bradley's lectures are something to behold. I am constantly taking notes on not what she explains but HOW she does it. Especially the mix of powerpoint and whiteboard/transparencies. Hopefully I can decipher my handwriting when it comes to explain some of this stuff when I am teaching. Iain Couzin's are also very inspiring, especially on the advantages of keeping things simple. It was even more inspiring to talk to him @cowgirls, especially his views that it is important to discourage grad students/postdocs to keep TOO long hours... and the importance of having a 'fun lab' in attracting people that would like to work you. It was fascinating to see how Tom Carter engages the audience, so late in the evening (and after dinner, too!). I am not sure that we Europeans agree on his view on how the economic inequalities can be addressed, he seemed very pessimistic about the possibility of it, and many people in the room, I think, were asking themselves how introducing taxes etc. would affect the distributions.<br /> <br /> ===Other remarks===<br /> Some people may be interested in the http://decoi.collectivae.net/ Design Of Collective Intelligence series - those are 1 week long versions of what SFI is trying to do, but mainly focused at multi agent systems.<br /> <br /> Also interesting, and this is even a longer shot, is http://www.nextgenerationinfrastructures.eu/academy if you are interested in (physical) networks and infrastructures.<br /> <br /> <br /> Here is an article about the spread of contagion in a social network written for a general audience, as an example of science journalism:<br /> <br /> &quot;Infectious Personalities&quot;, The Economist, May 13, 2010. http://www.economist.com/node/16103882<br /> <br /> AS<br /> <br /> ==Wednesday June 9==<br /> <br /> Today was a sad day for Dutch politics. [[User:Ligtvoet|Ligtvoet]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt; Thank you Paige and Coco. &lt;/b&gt; [[Samuel_Scarpino|Samuel_Scarpino]]<br /> &lt;p&gt; Great Kerouacish moment. Thanks hairy thighs! [[Giovanni Petri]] &lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> ([[jp]]) Man, I don't know what went on last night...<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Ingrid van Putten&lt;br&gt;===<br /> Lots can be said about the visual art - but the bar has definitely been raised by mathmeticians and computer geeks over the past two days at SFI. Not only did we have buildings tumbling down or having fish swim out of them at the Santa Fe Complex last night, but today liz completely outdid the lot by making music and then ... dance. Those performances should make maths, physics, and computer science interesting to anyone!<br /> <br /> ===Thomas Maillart===<br /> This morning Peter told about network attack tolerance. The results obtained by Albert et al. Nature (2000) for scale-free networks are a direct consequence of the &quot;robust yet fragile&quot; (also called HOT - Highly Optimized Tolerance) concept first coined by Carlson et al. Physical Review Letters also in 2000. However, Newman et al. criticized the HOT model (in Physical Review Letters, 2002), arguing that while &quot;optimized&quot;, scale-free systems, the optimization process should occur at some costs. Thus, they introduced the COLD model (&quot;constrained optimization with limited deviations&quot;), by adding a cost to optimization (i.e. preventing the formation of scale-free systems). Under these conditions, the tolerance to attacks should be improved. The interesting point behind the message, is that there is an intrinsic trade-off between optimization and risks, i.e. optimized systems are prone to suffer more extreme damage (heavy-tailed distribution of damage).<br /> <br /> On the same topic, Doyle et al. (PNAS 2005) argued that the model by Albert et al. (Nature 2000) does not hold for the Internet because the most connected nodes are not in the core of the Internet, which is typically low connected. The main point of this article is to point the importance of looking at the mesoscopic structure of real networks, and not only their degree distribution or general purpose metrics.<br /> <br /> ===Vessela Daskalova===<br /> <br /> Some thoughts inspired by Tanmoy Bhattacharya's lecture on inference in historical processes and by Tom Carter's modeling workshop:<br /> <br /> They both tackled two classical questions regarding the methodology used in different fields.<br /> <br /> 1) Are we trying to explain past observations or are we trying to predict future events? And how do models in different fields reflect this goal?<br /> <br /> 2) Do we want to build in what we already &quot;know&quot; in models we are building/ regressions we are running?<br /> <br /> Obviously, people from different fields will answer these questions differently. It would be cool if at least one person from each field wrote about what is accepted in their area.<br /> <br /> Here one point of view from economics:<br /> <br /> on 1) In contrast to historians, who try to give a good explanation of what happened in the past and why, economists try to make some predictions regarding the future. Therefore, models/regressions in economics include fewer variables than models/regressions in history and political science. Tanmoy Bhattacharya argued in favor of including many explanatory variables when using maximum likelihood for historical inference. However, if the goal was prediction rather than inference, the number of explanatory variables would have to be reduced to avoid introducing a lot of past noise in the predictions.<br /> <br /> on 2) In the social sciences (especially economics) there is a tendency to build in some assumptions of what matters in your model. This seems useful (at least to me) as many of the phenomena we are analyzing are a result of social interaction, there is a large degree of randomness in the environment and unless we use our a priori knowledge (as Tanmoy Bhattacharya argued yesterday), we cannot expect to come up with some deterministic equation that accounts for social phenomena.<br /> <br /> Coming back to prediction in economic models, let me end with a popular economics joke:<br /> &quot;Why do meteorologists make weather forecasts?&quot;<br /> &quot;To make economic forecasts look good.&quot;<br /> Just to clarify, this is not meant as an insult to meteorologists, but as self-irony:)<br /> <br /> ===Kasia Samson===&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Borys Wrobel===<br /> It is really too bad that Peter Dodds did not have the time to present his last lecture, I was really interested in hearing it. I feel this was the cost of the historical perspective (his first lecture)... Santa Fe Complex sure was fun, it sure seemed a geek paradise. It was great to see the American culture of innovation at its best... But it sure was a grueling day, having to get up earlier than on the other days, running to the buses, going from one place to another. Not enough time to explore the SFI (and its library) really, hopefully it will be possible next Wed... It is amazing that so many people decided to stay late at night and walk back to St John's...<br /> <br /> ==Thursday June 10==<br /> ===Chaitanya Gokhale&lt;br&gt;===<br /> &quot;The trick about life is to make it look simple.&quot;<br /> <br /> It would seem quite ironic if I say this at a “complex” systems summer school, but the more I get immersed in the subject the more I think that it is relevant statement.<br /> I mostly apply nonlinear dynamics to develop mathematical models of biological system and apply evolutionary game theory to biologically, socially relevant concepts. Please note that both of these is not data driven to begin with.<br /> <br /> Oxford Dictionary defines “model” as follows (model in the context as we use it),<br /> <br /> ...3 something used as an example. 4 a simplified mathematical description of a system or process, used to assist calculations and predictions. 5 an excellent example of a quality....<br /> <br /> A model is not the actual system.<br /> Tom Carter gave an amazing demonstration of that fact. The models he was discussing were not of as much importance as the message he was trying to put across. We do not need complex models to understand complex systems, rather simple models is what we should be aiming for because the goal is not to replicate the complexity but to understand it in simpler terms.<br /> The same thing was iterated by Owen Densmore at the SF Complex and saying that what they are doing is complex would be the biggest understatement.<br /> Today again Jure just amazingly deflated the whole network complexity into a simple 2 \times 2 matrix confirming the idea ever more.<br /> <br /> Any fool can make things bigger, more complex and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction<br /> --Albert Einstein<br /> <br /> On a different note, I loved Liz Bradley’s lectures. Though I have been using the methods for quite a while now, I had never seen such a crystal clear overview of nonlinear dynamics before.<br /> <br /> ===Jing Li&lt;br&gt;===<br /> When Google first topped the 100 best companies to work for, Fortune's comment was 'It's the kind of place where, yes, you're going to work but you also know you are going to have a fun time as well'. I would like to say exactly the same for CSSS 2010. <br /> <br /> What a beautiful day today! Liz's final presentation is as excellent as previous: science is not only interesting, but also COOL; Nathan is as impressive as his project at CSSS; Jure is so passionate about his research. Dan, your comment is the highlight of the presentation, as always.<br /> <br /> A friend of mine who was in CSSS 2009 wrote 'I hope your time at SFI is as wonderful for you as it was for me'. Yes, it is!<br /> <br /> Bradford Cross has a great [http://measuringmeasures.com/blog/2010/6/9/learning-about-network-theory.html post] on learning about network theory that everyone with an interest in networks will probably find useful. Look at it or bookmark it for later, it compliments our previous lectures well.<br /> <br /> The CSSS hash tag on twitter is #CSSS, the REU tag is #SFI.<br /> <br /> ===Bruno Abrahao&lt;br&gt;===<br /> <br /> One of the recurring themes in our lectures was power-laws in the degree distribution of complex networks. Since this feature was so prevalent across different networks, coming from many different domains, researchers started to create generative models that replicate this observation, with the goal of shedding insight on the root cause of this phenomenon. Some of the plausible explanations include preferential attachment, the copying model and others. <br /> <br /> In 2004, [http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2004/papers/p599-li.pdf Li-Alderson-Willinger-Doyle] made the point that observing a power-law does not give us any insight on the underlying phenomenon. They show that a large number of different networks, with dramatically different characteristics, exhibit the same power-law behavior with the same power-law exponent. The paper was very well received by the computer systems community (it received the best paper award in the top conference in the area, ACM SIGCOMM), but it seems to be often ignored by other communities. <br /> <br /> To make matters more complicated, [http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~michaelm/postscripts/im2004a.pdf Mitzenmacher] made the point that it is virtually impossible to distinguish any generative process that exhibit power-law behavior from those that exhibit lognormal distribution.<br /> <br /> Can we conclude that power-law observations must be accompanied by some form of validation of the root cause of the phenomenon in order give us useful information on complex systems?<br /> <br /> === Anna Pechenkina&lt;br&gt;===<br /> <br /> Thanks, Bruno, for bringing this up! Networks are new to me, but the published findings of power laws in agent-based models is something that I've come across quite a bit. The question of model validation seems to lack a good answer (and expected practice, which is true at least in political science). If a model generates a power law distribution of some parameter of interest, normally, people do check for robustness of the finding. However, even when the model produces the power law across a large portion of the parameter space, this is no guarantee that the model is a good model of the phenomenon of interest (Tom Carter mentioned on Tues finite vs. infinite variance). The fact that there may be other ways to reach the same power law distribution calls for some sort of validation of the model's mechanism. I would like to hear what others believe a good example of &quot;validation of the model's mechanism&quot; can be (testing the model's *additional* implications against observational data? designing a test of whether the subjects use indeed the decision-making rule specified in the model? modeling different decision-making rules?) Cites of good examples are much appreciated!<br /> <br /> === Griffith Rees===<br /> <br /> Agent-based modelling is still a pretty new thing in sociology, and validation has always been a weak suit. Peter Hedström has [http://www.cambridge.org/uk/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521796679 attempted] to mix empirical results with simulations to assess the relative impact of different effects, and the extent to which they explain macro phenomena. In his case, he is modelling diffusion of unemployment, and the extent to which being socially tied to other unemployed people increases your likelihood of becoming unemployed and increases the length of your unemployment. I don't think his validation really does the job, but it's an interesting approach.<br /> <br /> ==Friday June 11==<br /> ([[Kang Zhao]])<br /> I really like what Nathan Eagle's idea of Engineering Social Systems. Yesterday was the 3rd time I heard his talks. I feel that, in the emerging area of network science, people have been focusing mainly on understanding the patterns in all kinds of large networks. No offense to those outstanding research. But... OK, power-law distribution, highly-clustered social network, 6-degree of separation, then what? I have engineering background and always love research that can make a difference in the real world. Can we build more applications to exploit the network structure/pattern to make people's life better/easier? While there have been some efforts (such as the [https://networkchallenge.darpa.mil DARPA network challenge] this year) and interesting applications, I don't think network science is quite there yet. (Of course, we need to keep privacy issues in mind when we mine social network data).<br /> <br /> ===Florian Sabou&lt;br&gt;===<br /> <br /> A recent article in The New Yorker, &quot;Silver or lead&quot; by William Finnegan, reveals the deep complexity of the drug war reality in Mexico. Rather than a typical armed conflict between authority and drug gangs, or between gangs themselves, the violence in Mexico presents characteristics of political, social and religious insurgence. Drug gangs offer public services that the central government fails to implement such as: construction of community sport and art centers, administration of justice, unemployment management, security and even drug-rehabilitation clinics for methamphetamine addicts. An overview of the article can be found at <br /> http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/05/31/100531fa_fact_finnegan and for interested readers the printed magazine issue is available. &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Roberta Sinatra===<br /> <br /> … and so this first week at CSSS is over. And it has been a very &quot;intense&quot; conclusion indeed! <br /> I would like to make a couple of comments/reflections, scientific and not:<br /> <br /> * Leskovec lectures and the need of large dataset analysis: at the conference NetSci2010, László Barabási stated that &quot;by 2023 the number of stored bits will surpass Avogadro's number&quot;. In my opinion, if this is true, no matter how good will be our tools for the large scale analysis, we will never be able to deal with a &quot;microscopic&quot; description of data. In the same way, for example, we are not able, and anyway it will be not that useful, to describe all the molecules in a gas using their dynamical equations, but we can just deal with the statistical ensemble of all the possible configurations they occupy, and study the constraints the system meets and the properties that derive from them. Therefore, what probably we will need in the future, is try seeking in all our data generality and common features as well as analogous constraints, by looking at them as realizations of a big ensemble of possibilities that are all equivalent, in some sense, and could share the same properties.<br /> <br /> * Hübler lecture: I enjoyed it so much! I have a background as a physicist and because of this I attend a lot of &quot;lab courses&quot;during my studies. Nevertheless, since I work on complex systems, I had never the chance to enjoy them from a pure &quot;experimental&quot; point of view. The opportunity to go to the lab with him will make us figure out that complex systems are much more of a bunch of data someone collects for us, but they are most of the times systems we can reproduce. ANd much better if these experiments are eatable ;)<br /> <br /> * Power cut during the lectures: are we still able to teach or give a lecture without the use of slides, but just with a piece of chock and a blackboard?<br /> <br /> * The dinner at the Santa Fe Institute has been very pleasant and I really appreciate its familiar, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. And a proof of this is given by the fact that a cat that lives there in the same way he could in one of our houses! (By the way, never seen a cat in a research institute! Do you?)<br /> <br /> * Mafia game of friday night: some of us played for 4 hours (yes, 4 hours!) the famous - but not to me - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_%28party_game%29 mafia game]. It was a very good opportunity to socialize with other people, because when far from lectures and &quot;working&quot; hours, none of us feels he has to &quot;prove&quot; to be smart and brainy, and it is easier to be natural and spontaneous.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Bogdan State===<br /> <br /> I sure hope no one got annoyed at my hunting for candid pictures today at SFI. I am a very awkward person, which makes my tries at being a photographer...well, awkward. So thanks to everyone who smiled and went along with my snapshot-happy self. I hope seeing the picture will make you more tolerant of the annoying guy with the pesky lens:<br /> <br /> http://picasaweb.google.com/worldmeetsbogdan/SFIBarbeque#<br /> <br /> As for the CSSS, I'm in total awe of the program. This week of lectures has felt overall like gym for my brain - particularly all the advanced math in Liz's class. Hopefully, brain gym will be easier to keep on a schedule than other kinds of gyms...cough...<br /> <br /> ===Bruno Abrahao&lt;br&gt;===<br /> <br /> This is a timely analysis of an interesting complex system. I personally like his results! ;-) <br /> <br /> [http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/June10/SoccerBlog.html Cornell University professor predicts Brazil will win 2010 FIFA World Cup title] His soccer study submits world's best teams to statistical analysis.<br /> <br /> ===Lucas Antiqueira&lt;br&gt;===<br /> <br /> Nature's article: [http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100609/full/465674a.html High hopes for Brazilian science]<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Complex Emergence===<br /> Hübler: &quot;So, definitions of complex systems? &quot; &lt;br/&gt;<br /> Erik van den Broecke: &quot;Female.&quot; &lt;br/&gt;<br /> Sarah Wise: &quot;Clearly you never dated a male&quot; &lt;br/&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;br/&gt;<br /> <br /> Hübler: &quot;If an ant would ask you to teach her calculus, what would you tell her?

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!&quot; -Everyone<br /> <br /> ==Monday June 14==<br /> <br /> ===Andrew Hein===<br /> I spend a lot of time using the statistical programming language, R. Although, it is a pretty poor platform for implementing the type of agent-based and network models that most of us are using, it does have some nice network statistics packages among other things. One great resource for R users is the R-seek search engine [[http://www.rseek.org/]]. If you're interested in network statistics, just head to R-seek and search &quot;networks&quot;. There are a bunch of network stats packages.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Tracey McDole===<br /> Ancient food webs with new issues to grapple with: Were species interactions structured differently in ancient vs. modern times? Apparently not that much. Although every link is a hypothesis based on inferences, if you have a fossil record like the Burgess shale(with soft tissue preservation)and an expert on ancient trophic interactions, you can create a food web with pretty high certainty (75% high certainty links in some cases). I was blown away by the research...got to get my hands on Dunne et al, 2008 PLOS Biology. Also, how cool would it be to go back in time and witness those crazy, experimental body pans, the evolutionary dead-ends?! <br /> <br /> ===Sergey Melnik===<br /> It seems that today there were particularly many people sneezing and coughing. Is there a disease spreading through our population? Apparently the extensive exposure to the sun during the weekend has had a negative effect on students' immune systems. We should be more careful with such things and really try to remain healthy.<br /> <br /> ''Bus paradox:'' The mean waiting time for the next bus (for highly irregular service) is greater than the mean interdeparture time. This is because it is more likely to hit a long interdeparture time than a short one when arriving at the bus stop at random. So keep this in mind.<br /> <br /> Erik Van den Broecke&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Tuesday June 15==<br /> <br /> ===Drew Levin===<br /> Today's my day, but I'm not really sure what to write. I'll just ramble...<br /> <br /> I've been thinking a bit about what I'm supposed to get out of summer school. I think it's interesting that the answer to this question seems to be different depending on who I ask. Some people are here from the business sector, looking for commercial applications of complexity theory. Some are young grad students, brushing up on their theory. Others are more established, looking for ways to strengthen their dissertation. I personally find myself in between, looking for new and interesting ideas to pursue.<br /> <br /> I'm not sure why I wrote that. I guess it's because I feel that while we're all here for different reasons, we can all achieve our goals in similar ways. A lot has been written about the daily lectures, and much discussion around the cooler seems to focus on them as well. I feel that somewhat misses the point of summer school. The classes are nice, but the real resource here in Santa Fe is ourselves. <br /> <br /> Don't get me wrong, I'm all for informative lectures. I'm certainly one who gains knowledge quicker through directed learning. That said, I think it's important to remember that all (well, most) of the information provided in these lectures is available to us through many different means, most accessible from our own offices (or schools/businesses). On the other hand, the opportunity to interact with each other here, together and in person, is only available for the next week and a half.<br /> <br /> It's kind of sad, because I feel like this environment here is the embodiment of what grad school should be. Unfortunately, summer school will end and we will return to work in semi-isolation back home.<br /> <br /> So, I guess I'll wrap up by giving my probably misguided advice to those of us fortunate enough to be here... Make sure you take the time to a step back from the lectures and the projects and make use of the best resource available... your fellow students. I fear that if people spend the whole three weeks caught up in the tangible goals of CSSS 10, they'll miss the real opportunity, which is to talk to and interact with as many fellow students as possible while we're still here. <br /> <br /> Leif Karlstrom&lt;br&gt;<br /> Mark Laidre&lt;br&gt;<br /> Borys Wrobel&lt;br&gt;<br /> ==Wednesday June 16==<br /> Joseph Gran&lt;br&gt;<br /> Micael Ehn&lt;br&gt;<br /> Damian Blasi&lt;br&gt;<br /> Daniel Jones&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Thursday June 17==<br /> Yixian Song&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sam Scarpino&lt;br&gt;<br /> Giovanni Petri&lt;br&gt;<br /> Michael Szell&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Friday June 18==<br /> Sandra Bennun&lt;br&gt;<br /> Susanne Shultz&lt;br&gt;<br /> Lynette Shaw&lt;br&gt;<br /> Sarah Wise &lt;br&gt;<br /> ==(Saturday June 19)==<br /> ==(Sunday June 20)==<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Monday June 21==<br /> Dan MacKinlay&lt;br&gt;<br /> Megan Olsen&lt;br&gt;<br /> Vanessa Weinberger&lt;br&gt;<br /> Jonathan Cannon&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Tuesday June 22==<br /> Erika Legara&lt;br&gt;<br /> Gavin Fay&lt;br&gt;<br /> Bruno Abrahao&lt;br&gt;<br /> Zhiyuan Song&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Wednesday June 23==<br /> Julie Granka&lt;br&gt;<br /> Nick Foti&lt;br&gt;<br /> Felix Hol&lt;br&gt;<br /> Oana Carja&lt;br&gt;<br /> ==Thursday June 24==<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Friday June 25==</div>

It is a 7 mile journey from the parking lot to the peak with an elevation gain of about 3000ft. Various websites recommend getting off the peak before 2pm to avoid afternoon thunderstorms. This implies (assuming 4hrs to the top and an hour lunch) that we need to start hiking around 8am, which in turn means leaving SJC at about 7:15am (or earlier)! I understand this is a serious commitment, so is there any interest in doing this hike with me?? If so I will acquire a trail map and directions to the trail-head parking lot and any other information that will be useful.

There is a weight limit of 200 lbs.<br /> I can try to reserve for Sunday morning (June 13), but they will need all information by 8 tonight (Saturday June 12). If that doesn't work out, we can reserve a Thursday (June 17) evening ride at 6 for either 1 or 2 hours ($55/$80 per person cash, add $5 for credit card). No shorts or sandals, sneakers are OK. About a 40 minute commute from Santa Fe Plaza area. Please email me (amjohnson9@cox.net) your height, weight, and skill level and which rides (either/or) you would commit to going on.

I have a car that can hold 3 additional people. [[Anne Johnson]]<br /> * Would love to join, need transportation [[Anna Pechenkina]]<br /> * I would also like to go. [[Micael Ehn]]<br /> <br /> Ok - talking with Anne and Borys on Friday, I think we decided to aim for next Saturday (the 19th).

[[Anna Pechenkina]]<br /> * Count me in. [[Ana Hocevar]]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[VLA signup]]<br /> <br /> == Board Games ==<br /> I happen to have a nice collection of fun and fairly quick strategic board games. I've talked to a few people who seem interested in getting together from time to time to play some games and unwind. If you think you'd be interested, send me an email or just come up and say hi. I'm thinking our first gathering may be Sunday evening. The games are very easy to learn (so don't be intimidated) and they all exhibit complex behavior (sorry, couldn't resist). Think of it as a fun way to meet people in a new, enjoyable context. [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> We should also get people together to play Mafia! It's kind of a card game, and lots of fun. We were thinking Friday night after the SFI reception could be a good time! [[Megan Olsen]]<br /> <br /> I'd be interested in this [[Micael Ehn]]<br /> <br /> Board games! always fun. Perhaps one of our projects should have been on the effects of being able to use proper nouns in Scrabble. :) ([[Gavin Fay]])<br /> <br /> I'm interested [[Michael Szell]]<br /> <br /> Games tonight (sunday) in the coffee shop. Late notice but come on by if you're interested. I'll be around... and Andrew brought games too! [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> I think I'll just start bringing a few games over to the coffee shop each evening. If you want to play a game, come by and see who's around. There seems to usually be enough people nearby that starting a game should be fairly easy. If you're interested in a longer game, or want to make sure people are around, let me know and we'll work on organizing something more formal. [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> == White Water Rafting ==<br /> We are organising a rafting trip down the Class IV Taos box next Sunday the 20th. The Taos box is meant to be very exciting, but still suitable for first time rafters. So far it is my husband and I, but if anyone else wants to join, you're more than welcome. A couple of caveats: 1) it is EXPENSIVE (~$120) and 2) it is all day (which may interfere with projects. However, if this doesn't put you off, please let me know!

The tram takes you up to the top of Sandia Peak (elevation 10,378ft, 3,163m) where there are various hiking trails and scenic viewpoints. The tram operates until 9pm everyday of the week and costs $20 per person. Anybody interested in going?

A trip to the [http://www.lanl.gov/museum/ Bradbury Museum] in Los Alamos will finish the sightseeing, and then maybe dinner in Santa Fe?<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==El Farol Field Trip***COMPLETE***==<br /> <br /> A few people were interested in &quot;making a pilgrimage&quot; to El Farol. Any takers?<br /> <br /> I think it would be fun to do after the SFI day on Wednesday. Let's plan ~ 6:00, depart by walking from SFI? It's about a mile and a half. ([[jp]])<br /> <br /> * Did I miss this? If so, there should be another one. It's not really a valid homage to the paper if there are not iterated plays! ([[Lynette Shaw]])</div>

<p>Drew: </p> <hr /> <div>{{CSSS 2010 Santa Fe}}<br /> <br /> ==Soccer==<br /> <br /> Lets play soccer today (11/6) at 15:30<br /> <br /> ==Bandelier Hike / Valles Caldera / Los Alamos==<br /> <br /> Tom, JP and others are planning a field trip to [http://www.nps.gov/band/ Bandelier National Monument] for Saturday June 12. &lt;b&gt;[[Bandelier Trip 2010| Please sign up]]&lt;/b&gt; so we know how many people are going.<br /> <br /> We'll depart the parking circle at &lt;strike&gt; 8:00 &lt;/strike&gt;10:00 am, head up to Bandelier to do some hiking &lt;strike&gt;before it gets really hot&lt;/strike&gt; when it's really hot, then head up to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valles_Caldera Valles Caldera] and Jemez Caldera in the early afternoon. A trip to the [http://www.lanl.gov/museum/ Bradbury Museum] in Los Alamos will finish the sightseeing, and then maybe dinner in Santa Fe?<br /> <br /> ==Aaron Clauset's Lecture==<br /> <br /> SFI Omidyar fellow Aaron Clauset will be presenting a talk entitled &quot;[http://www.santafe.edu/gevent/detail/public/103/ The Future of Terrorism]&quot; next Wednesday at 7:00pm. [[Sign Up for Aaron's Lecture | Please Sign Up]] if you'd like to attend so that we have an idea of how to organize transportation.<br /> <br /> ==El Farol Field Trip==<br /> <br /> A few people were interested in &quot;making a pilgrimage&quot; to El Farol. Any takers?<br /> <br /> I think it would be fun to do after the SFI day on Wednesday. Let's plan ~ 6:00, depart by walking from SFI? It's about a mile and a half. ([[jp]])<br /> <br /> * Did I miss this? If so, there should be another one. It's not really a valid homage to the paper if there are not iterated plays! ([[Lynette Shaw]])<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Soccer Field==<br /> <br /> If anyone would like to use of the soccer field, please contact [mailto:jp@santafe.edu John Paul] so he can put a request in with conference services. We're not the only event on campus, and St. John's may need to use the field from time to time for other events.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Squash/Tennis==<br /> <br /> Some of you expressed interest in playing Squash and/or Tennis (Mark, Ingrid, Michael,..?). Let's update this section if concrete plans emerge. Also if anyone has information on how/when to use the courts, please post it here.<br /> * Given the fact that I have only black soles, squash is not an option, but tennis would be [[User:Ligtvoet|Ligtvoet]]<br /> * I am interested in playing tennis with anyone, on any day. The hours of the gym are here: http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/campuslife/SF/gym.shtml and I suspect that we can borrow rackets/balls and use the courts during those times. Maybe morning would be a good time, before it gets too hot? ([[Megan Olsen]])<br /> <br /> ==World Cup Viewing==<br /> <br /> It's really more Before Hours, but here in Santa Fe two of the recurring broadcast times for World Cup games are 5:00 AM and 7:30 AM. Is there interest in getting together, either somewhere on campus or--if we're lucky enough--at a local venue to catch a few of the more interesting games before coming to lectures?<br /> <br /> *([[Roberta Sinatra]]) Yes, I am very interested. As an Italian, I cannot miss matches of Italy! ;)<br /> *([[Ana Hocevar]]) I guess I might be up for that as well. Especially for the USA vs. Slovenia match. I do count on all non-US participants to root for Slovenia, of course...<br /> * ([[Roberta Sinatra]]) Someone interested in watching the Italy vs Paraguay match, on Monday (June 14th), at 12.30 pm (half after noon, to avoid confusion - 20.30 in South Africa)?<br /> *([[Joe Gran]]) Definitely going to watch as much of this as possible. Does the tv in the game room get the games?<br /> *([[Kang Zhao]]) Very interested in watching some games!<br /> <br /> == Hiking ==<br /> There is a whole list of participants who want to hike &amp; climb...<br /> <br /> A quick look at the Let's Go guidebook already shows the following options:<br /> * Santa Fe Baldy 8-9hrs hike<br /> * Pecos Wilderness<br /> * Bandelier National Monument - check<br /> * Santa Fe National Forest, Los Alamos - which also has some historic significance = check<br /> <br /> == Music ==<br /> Some participants will have musical instruments with them. Join the CSSS house band!<br /> <br /> == Concerts ==<br /> <br /> === iron maiden/Dream Theater ===<br /> <br /> Anyone would like to go to the [http://www.livenation.com/edp/eventId/419345 Iron Maiden/Dream Theater] concert on June 16 at night, in Albuquerque?

Could be fun ???<br /> <br /> *[[Erika Fille Legara]]: I'd love to go! When's this?<br /> <br /> == Horseback Trail Riding ==<br /> A few people have come to me to talk horses, and are interested in going on a trail ride if possible. I have a car and could transpot 3 other people. If anyone is interested I can call some places and ask about possible group rates. [[Anne Johnson]]<br /> Hey Anne - if you have any spots left in your car - I would be keen to come [[Ingrid van Putten]]<br /> I haven't gone in years but would love to go. If its the first weekend I would have a vehicle as well. [[Kim Lewis]]<br /> Yes, Ingrid, there's room. Let's talk Friday and decide on a time. Here's a link to one possibility: [http://www.brokensaddle.com/rates.html Broken Saddle Riding Co] [[Anne Johnson]].<br /> <br /> There are openings for 4 or 5 riders for Sunday morning or Thursday evening. There is a $35 cancellation fee per person, so I don't want to confirm a resservation until I hear back from everyone interested in going. We need to supply height, weight, and skill level for each rider. There is a weight limit of 200 lbs.<br /> I can try to reserve for Sunday morning (June 13), but they will need all information by 8 tonight (Saturday June 12). If that doesn't work out, we can reserve a Thursday (June 17) evening ride at 6 for either 1 or 2 hours ($55/$80 per person cash, add $5 for credit card). No shorts or sandals, sneakers are OK. About a 40 minute commute from Santa Fe Plaza area. Please email me (amjohnson9@cox.net) your height, weight, and skill level and which rides (either/or) you would commit to going on. We could also look into next weekend. Thanks!<br /> <br /> 1. Anne Johnson<br /> <br /> 2. Susanne Shultz<br /> <br /> 3. Ingrid van Putten (I'd like to go on thursday evening if that would suit...)<br /> <br /> 4.<br /> <br /> 5.<br /> <br /> == Farmers Markets ==<br /> <br /> The [http://www.santafefarmersmarket.com/ Santa Fe Farmers' Market] is Open Every Tuesday and Saturday in the Santa Fe Railyard! 7am-Noon. <br /> <br /> It would be cool to go before the Bandelier etc. hike ([[Borys Wrobel]]).<br /> <br /> I would like to go this Saturday (June 12)! I have 5 seats in my car, please sign up if you'd like to come! We will eat breakfast at 7:30, and then plan to leave for the farmer's market at 8 in order to be back to leave for hiking at 10.<br /> <br /> Andrew's car:&lt;br&gt;<br /> 1.[[Andrew Banooni]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> 2.[[Borys Wrobel]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> 3.[[Bruno Abrahao]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> 4.[[Oana Carja]] yay,sounds lovely!&lt;br&gt;<br /> 5. [[Megan Olsen]] How exciting!!&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Borys Wrobel]]: Yes, it was great fun, thanks Andrew! If someone wants to go next week: there's parking close by (underground) for $1/day, you get to taste a lot of stuff (including weird Native American tea, which we pretty much decided is much better w/o sugar), and there was an artist's market across the street.<br /> <br /> == Trains! ==<br /> <br /> The [http://www.cumbrestoltec.com/ Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad] is one of the longest and most beautiful sections of narrow gauge rail in the US. It is a bit of a hike away, so some car rental might be necessary but it would be awesome!<br /> <br /> * exciting! would like to hear more details on how this field trip may look like [[Anna Pechenkina]]<br /> <br /> == Rodeo! ==<br /> There'll be a [http://www.rodeodesantafe.org/ rodeo] in Santa Fe June 23-26, the tickets for Saturday Matinee (10 am) are $10. That's more like 'after CSSS' than 'after hours', but maybe someone will be intererested in going? ([[Borys Wrobel]])).<br /> <br /> == VLA ==<br /> Anyone interested in taking a trip to the [http://www.nrao.edu/index.php/learn/vlavc VLA]? ([[Gavin Fay]])<br /> <br /> I'm interested. I have a car that can hold 3 additional people. [[Anne Johnson]]<br /> * Would love to join, need transportation [[Anna Pechenkina]]<br /> * I would also like to go. [[Micael Ehn]]<br /> <br /> Ok - talking with Anne and Borys on Friday, I think we decided to aim for next Saturday (the 19th). We'll try and see if we can get a guided tour at such short notice, but plan on going regardless. ([[Gavin Fay]])<br /> <br /> [[VLA signup]]<br /> <br /> == Board Games ==<br /> I happen to have a nice collection of fun and fairly quick strategic board games. I've talked to a few people who seem interested in getting together from time to time to play some games and unwind. If you think you'd be interested, send me an email or just come up and say hi. I'm thinking our first gathering may be Sunday evening. The games are very easy to learn (so don't be intimidated) and they all exhibit complex behavior (sorry, couldn't resist). Think of it as a fun way to meet people in a new, enjoyable context. [[Drew Levin]]<br /> <br /> We should also get people together to play Mafia! It's kind of a card game, and lots of fun. We were thinking Friday night after the SFI reception could be a good time! [[Megan Olsen]]<br /> <br /> I'd be interested in this [[Micael Ehn]]<br /> <br /> Board games! always fun. Perhaps one of our projects should have been on the effects of being able to use proper nouns in Scrabble. :) ([[Gavin Fay]])<br /> <br /> I'm interested [[Michael Szell]]<br /> <br /> Games tonight (sunday) in the coffee shop. Late notice but come on by if you're interested. I'll be around... and Andrew brought games too!<br /> <br /> == White Water Rafting ==<br /> We are organising a rafting trip down the Class IV Taos box next Sunday the 20th. The Taos box is meant to be very exciting, but still suitable for first time rafters. So far it is my husband and I, but if anyone else wants to join, you're more than welcome. A couple of caveats: 1) it is EXPENSIVE (~$120) and 2) it is all day (which may interfere with projects. However, if this doesn't put you off, please let me know!

<p>Drew: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Drew.jpg|thumb|left]]Hi! I am a 4th year [http://www.cs.unm.edu Computer Science PhD] student at the [http://www.unm.edu University of New Mexico]. I work with [http://www.cs.unm.edu/~forrest Professor Stephanie Forrest] in the Complex Adaptive Systems lab. I did my undergraduate work at [http://www.hmc.edu Harvey Mudd College] and graduated with a BS in Computer Science. <br /> <br /> In my free time I am a sports and games enthusiast. I currently play Ultimate Frisbee with the UNM college team. I formerly played basketball for [http://www.cmsathletics.org/landing/index CMS athletics] as an undergrad. I grew up in Eugene, Oregon and am thus an avid fan of University of Oregon athletics and the Portland Trailblazers. I enjoy most strategic types of video games and also have a large collection of [http://www.boardgamegeek.com strategic board games] which I use to run a monthly Game Night for the graduate CS department at UNM.<br /> <br /> You can contact me at drew (a) cs.unm.edu<br /> <br /> == Main Interests ==<br /> <br /> My research interests focus on the formation, structure, and emergent behavior of distributed autonomous systems. More specifically, I am interested in the transition of hierarchical/centralized systems to distributed/decentralized systems that serve the same purpose. As hierarchical systems grow larger they experience a disproportional growth in the cost of their network connections. At some point, the cost of growth for these systems becomes prohibitive. The solution to enable further growth often involves removal of the network to allow autonomous agents to function independently. Distributed systems can usually scale much more efficiently.<br /> <br /> Areas that exhibit both hierarchical and decentralized systems are numerous and include economics, government, transportation, social networks, and computer architecture. My current focus is on the human adaptive immune system and social insect colonies.<br /> <br /> == Areas of Expertise ==<br /> <br /> As a Computer Science major I have a strong background in computer programming. I am able to program in most computer languages. My CS background has also given me knowledge of efficient data structures, algorithms, and search and optimization methods (e.g. AI and machine learning).<br /> <br /> Most of my work in the Complex Systems lab at UNM has involved designing and implementing computational models. I have experience implementing both continuous models involving systems of ordinary non-linear differential equations and discrete spatial models involving cellular autonoma and agent-based systems.<br /> <br /> == Goals for CSSS ==<br /> <br /> I am currently focusing on putting together my thesis proposal. My specific goal for summer school will be to focus on creating and refining specific research questions that will be applicable to my future dissertation.<br /> <br /> == Project Ideas ==<br /> <br /> I recently returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic. The transportation system there is completely unregulated yet it works with surprising efficiency (in both cost and time). It may be fun to model the emergence of an efficient transportation system in the absence of a centralized scheduler.</div>
