Control principles of complex systems Yang-Yu Liu and Albert-László Barabási http://journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/10.1103/RevModPhys.88.035006
ABSTRACT
A reflection of our ultimate understanding of a complex system is our ability to control its behavior. Typically, control has multiple prerequisites: it requires an accurate map of the network that governs the interactions between the system’s components, a quantitative description of the dynamical laws that govern the temporal behavior of each component, and an ability to influence the state and temporal behavior of a selected subset of the components. With deep roots in dynamical systems and control theory, notions of control and controllability have taken a new life recently in the study of complex networks, inspiring several fundamental questions: What are the control principles of complex systems? How do networks organize themselves to balance control with functionality? To address these questions here recent advances on the controllability and the control of complex networks are reviewed, exploring the intricate interplay between the network topology and dynamical laws. The pertinent mathematical results are matched with empirical findings and applications. Uncovering the control principles of complex systems can help us explore and ultimately understand the fundamental laws that govern their behavior.

#Econophysics
Dr. Eugene H. Stanley (1941–) is one of the most influencing figures in the discipline of #Econophysics. He was born in Oklahoma City, U.S. and was awarded the Ph.D. in physics at Harvard University. In 1976 he joined Boston University as Professor of Physics, and was promoted to Professor of Physiology and University Professor, in 1978 and 1979, respectively. In 2007 he was offered joint appointments with the Chemistry and Biomedical Engineering Departments, and in 2011 he was made William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor.

You should call it entropy, for two reasons. In the first place your uncertainty function has been used in statistical mechanics under that name, so it already has a name. In the second place, and more important, no one really knows what entropy really is, so in a debate you will always have the advantage.

Faculty Positions in Complex Systems
The Center for the Study of Complex Systems (CSCS) at the University of Michigan seeks applicants for three (3) tenure-track faculty positions in complex systems science. These are University-year appointments at the Assistant Professor level although more senior applicants will be considered as well. The expected start date is 1 September 2017.
1) Complex Systems
Required Qualifications: We seek applicants with a research agenda focused on the development and/or application of complex systems models and/or methods. This may involve theoretical or applied research in areas of complex systems including (but not limited to) mathematical and computational work in network science, emergence and robustness, related topics in computer science, or scientific applications where complex systems theory lies at the core of the approach such as quantitative modeling of social systems, condensed matter and interdisciplinary physics, biological structure and development, evolution, ecology, epidemiology, artificial life, neuroscience, and cognition. We are particularly interested in candidates with a record of working across disciplines.
How to Apply: All application materials must be uploaded here (https://complexsystems-lsa.applicantstack.com/x/detail/a2guio5rhdb4). This faculty position will be a joint appointment between CSCS and another academic department or school at the University of Michigan. Candidates should identify one or more partner units at the University of Michigan suitable for such a joint appointment. Applicants must submit a CV, a statement of current and future research plans, a statement of teaching philosophy and experience, and evidence of teaching excellence (if any). At least three letters of recommendation are required and must be uploaded onto the same website. Review of applications will begin on 1 October 2016 and will continue until the position is filled.
2) Complexity and Theoretical Ecology
Required Qualifications: We seek applicants who bring cutting-edge theoretical, mathematical, and computational tools to the study of ecological systems of any kind including traditional fields such as population dynamics and community assembly as well as emerging subdisciplines such as urban ecology, macroecology, microbial ecology, disease ecology, and eco-immunology. Applicants with inter- and trans-disciplinary interests and who integrate theoretical development with empirical tests, whether alone or in collaboration, are especially encouraged to apply. This position will be a joint appointment between CSCS and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of Michigan.
How to Apply: All application materials must be uploaded here(http://www.resources-eeb.lsa.umich.edu/search16/application.php?keyword1=3). Applications should include a cover letter, CV, a concise statement describing current and future plans for research, a statement of teaching philosophy and experience and evidence of teaching excellence (if any). Applicants are also invited to include a statement of their interests and activities contributing to diversity, equity and inclusion in academia, an area of priority for the University of Michigan. Applicants should include the names and email addresses of three references. Review of applications will begin on 1 October 2016 and will continue until the position is filled.
