Welcome to the NRG (NICO Reading Group) Wiki!

The Northwestern Institute for Complex Systems Reading Group is for graduate students, post-docs, and interested researchers who are doing research or have an interest in complex systems. Complex Systems is an inherently multidisciplinary approach and so this group is open to interested parties in any discipline. This group will meet on a regular basis to discuss research papers on a wide variety of topics related to complex systems including but not limited to: agent-based modeling, social networks, nonlinear dynamics, cellular automata, artificial life, global systems, robustness, scaling laws, social dynamics, markets, communication, human language, behavior, biological computation, cognitive neuroscience, and adaptive computation.
