Publication opportunity
Contribute to the upcoming publication on hybrid methods for complex systems.
The workshop explores interdisciplinary approaches to modeling and optimizing complex systems in science, technology, and society. It highlights emerging frameworks that combine theoretical models, computational intelligence, and system-level analysis.
Scope of the Workshop
The workshop addresses interdisciplinary approaches to understanding, modeling, and optimizing complex systems in science, engineering, and socio-technical environments. It focuses on methodological and conceptual advances that combine computational intelligence, mathematical theory, and system analysis. Particular attention is given to hybrid frameworks integrating analytical models with data-driven techniques, as well as scalable computational approaches for studying large interconnected systems. The workshop provides a platform for discussing emerging methodologies that support decision-making, system design, and performance optimization in complex and dynamic environments.
Selected high-quality papers presented at the workshop will be published in the Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS) series.
The LNNS series publishes peer-reviewed conference proceedings and edited volumes covering recent advances in systems science, artificial intelligence, networks, and computational technologies.
The series includes research in areas such as cyber-physical systems, autonomous systems, sensor networks, control and energy systems, robotics, smart manufacturing, transportation systems, and socio-economic systems. LNNS provides international visibility, rapid publication timelines, and wide global dissemination of scientific results through a recognized academic publishing platform.
The proceedings of the previous workshop were published in the volume Hybrid Methods for Modeling and Optimizing Complex Systems: Advances in Interdisciplinary Approaches for Complex Problem Solving, included in Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems, Volume 1481 (2025).
