International Conference on
Transport Phenomena in Complex Environments

September 3-6, 2019 – Erice (Sicily), Italy

☕️ Scope

The conference aims to bring together scientists working on various aspects of transport phenomena in complex environments not only in physics but also in biology, traffic etc. We believe that recent techniques developed in each discipline can find application in other apparently different domains. Having knowledge of them provides a universal framework to understand the transportation behaviour of a variety of complex systems on a variety of spatiotemporal scales. Through the interaction of participants from different backgrounds, we expect important stimuli for the research in the field. Prominent researchers from physics and related interdisciplinary fields will participate. This will give a broad overview of the field, its main recent advancements and achievements, methods and applications. The conference deals with a selection of most recent techniques developments and cutting-edge scientific research topics within the general area of transport phenomena in complex environments from colloids up to macroscopic objects s such vehicles. The scientific program of the conference will offer an overview of
the latest scientific advances in four major topics:

Transport and diffusion in inhomogeneous media
Driven and confined colloidal systems
Urban traffic: vehicular, pedestrians, metro and bus lines
Self-propelled particles and active matter

In this conference, we will provide an ample opportunity to exchange points of view, to promote contacts and new collaborations among researchers working on transport phenomena in different inter-disciplinary areas of complex systems. We aim to create a unique forum for debate that can help to provide answers about the novel approaches and methodologies induced by drive-in systems out of equilibrium at all scales. Our participants, including prominent researchers in the areas of transport phenomena in nonequilibrium statistical physics, will be young scientists and postdocs working in the domain of driven systems.

Conflict and Computation on Wikipedia: A Finite-State Machine Analysis of Editor Interactions
Simon DeDeo

https://www.mdpi.com/1999-5903/8/3/31/htm

Abstract:
What is the boundary between a vigorous argument and a breakdown of relations? What drives a group of individuals across it? Taking Wikipedia as a test case, we use a hidden Markov model to approximate the computational structure and social grammar of more than a decade of cooperation and conflict among its editors. Across a wide range of pages, we discover a bursty war/peace structure where the systems can become trapped, sometimes for months, in a computational subspace associated with significantly higher levels of conflict-tracking “revert” actions. Distinct patterns of behavior characterize the lower-conflict subspace, including tit-for-tat reversion. While a fraction of the transitions between these subspaces are associated with top-down actions taken by administrators, the effects are weak. Surprisingly, we find no statistical signal that transitions are associated with the appearance of particularly anti-social users, and only weak association with significant news events outside the system. These findings are consistent with transitions being driven by decentralized processes with no clear locus of control. Models of belief revision in the presence of a common resource for information-sharing predict the existence of two distinct phases: a disordered high-conflict phase, and a frozen phase with spontaneously-broken symmetry. The bistability we observe empirically may be a consequence of editor turn-over, which drives the system to a critical point between them.
