Enjoy! ------ Subject: School, Modelling and Analysis of Innovation and Competition Processes From: sicc Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 07:36:11 -0600 9th SICC International School Topics in Nonlinear Dynamics MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF INNOVATION AND COMPETITION PROCESSES May 26-30, 2014 Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy Directed by Fabio Dercole The aim of the course is to present adaptive dynamics (AD), a mathematical framework to model long-term evolution of coevolving multi-species communities, with special emphasis on the generation of diversity through evolutionary branching. Evolutionary branching takes place when a resident and a similar mutant type coexist in the same environment and natural selection favors further differentiation between the two types. The evolutionary dynamics are described as a random walk in the space of the coexisting strategies, a space with variable dimension according to evolutionary branching and extinction. Evolution proceeds in the direction of the local fitness gradient and can be approximated by deterministic continuous dynamics ruled by the AD canonical equation. Applications to relevant biological communities, as well as to social and economic sciences, where innovations and competition play the role of mutations and natural selection, will be presented. The course is part of the teaching activities organized by the PhD Program in Information Technology at Politecnico di Milano, yet it is not only addressed to PhD students, but to all researchers working in any areas of science and engineering and interested in modelling innovation and competition processes. Advanced theoretical topics and cutting-edge applications of AD will be presented in the workshop by the leading scientists in the field. All presentations will be given in English.
