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. This workshop has been a forum for exchanging knowledge in the field of Complex Collective Systems for several years - this is the 9th edition since 2009.

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

Papers must not exceed 15 pages (LNCS format). Submissions are handled via the PPAM website under the Workshop Complex Collective Systems track PPAM CCS Submission Select this option in submission system EasyChair => EasyChair
