Recent advances on the multidisciplinary science of complex networks have generated increasing interest on dynamical processes occurring on them, ranging from biology and physics to social science. Self-organization phenomena such as synchronization, chimera states or localized stationary and oscillatory patterns, can spontaneously emerge in such systems as a consequence of the interplay between the network architecture and nonlinear dynamics. The network architecture plays a role of paramount importance in seeding and shaping self-organized patterns, an observation which is nowadays accepted as a paradigm in the field of complex systems. Various reaction-diffusion systems (e.g. subjected to noise, time delay, feedback control) organized on different network architectures (e.g. symmetric or directed networks, trees, multiplexes, modular networks) are among the topics that have been addressed in both theoretical and experimental studies, exhibiting fascinating dynamical behaviours. The main goals of the workshop are: 1) To gather together researchers of the field in order to discuss on the currently available families of models, their respective domain of applications, the corresponding set of emergent behaviours and the possible impact of different networks topologies (simplex, multiplex, multigraphs, modular networks, hierarchical networks, etc.). 2) To debate on the main challenges to be addressed within the field for years to come, both in theory and experiments. 3) To examine models validation with real data and analyze those stylized facts, which can be adequately reproduced. 4) To foster research by exchanging knowledge on methods for abstract models targeted to the set of emergent phenomena. The workshop will be organized with three keynote speakers, *Hiroya Nakao* from the University of Kyoto (confirmed), *Raffaella Burioni* from the University of Parma (to be confirmed) and *Iryna Omelchenko* from the University of Berlin (to be confirmed). The schedule will be finalized with 30 minutes talks, including 5 minutes for questions/answers/discussions. Original works should be submitted using the easychair platform https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sop16 by the *1st of July*. Only extended abstracts, i.e. not longer than one A4 page using 11pts Times New Roman fonts (or equivalent ones), will be considered. We encourage you to include in your submission the following sections :State of the art, Aim, Method, Results and Conclusions. Each proposal will be reviewed by the program committee members and will be ranked on several dimensions such as clarity, quality of the review, innovation, quality of the analysis.The authors of the selected papers will be informed by the *15th of July. * You can find more information on the SOP16 web site http://complex.ffn.ub.es/~sop16/ For the organizing committee of SOP16 Timoteo Carletti, Nikos E.

The program of invited contributions will show how the scientific approach of systems analysis, traditionally followed in physics and engineering, can be used to tackle social problems. A series of paradigmatic examples will be presented in a particular sequence that allows the main issues of nonlinear dynamics and networks theory to be introduced: from bistability to catastrophes, from stationary and cyclic to quasi-periodic and chaotic regimes, from the spreading of successful strategies to the emergence of clusters in networks. The workshop is the 11th of a series of tutorial workshops annually organized by the Italian Society of Chaos and Complexity (SICC) to explore the emergence of new research fields in which the modeling of nonlinear phenomena plays a growing role. These workshops have been traditionally devoted to an interdisciplinary audience with particular attention to PhD students and young researchers. In this spirit, PMSS2016 is addressed to researchers working in various areas of science and engineering and interested in applying mathematical modeling to social sciences. More information on the workshop can be found in the web page: http://pmss2016.deib.polimi.it Early registration at a discounted fee is available before July, 1st 2016.

The workshop aims at strengthening the interaction between inverse problems and optimization, providing space for exchanges of information and ideas from the two areas. Both theoretical and applied aspects of optimization techniques will be faced, with particular attention to related developments in specific inverse problems as machine learning and signal and image restoration.
