CCS 2026 Warm-Up

Twelfth International Conference on Guided Self-Organization (GSO-2026)

October 14-15 (during CCS 2026)

GSO "aims to regulate self-organization for specific purposes, so that a dynamical system may reach specific attractors or outcomes. The regulation constrains a self-organizing process within a complex system by restricting local interactions between the system components, rather than following an explicit control mechanism or a global design blueprint."
