Computing in context has become a necessity in modern and intelligent IT - plications.

ISRR, the "e;International Symposium on Robotics Research"e;, is one of robotics' pioneering symposia, which has established some of the field's most fundamental and lasting contributions over the past two decades.

Economic application of nonlinear dynamics, microscopic agent-based modelling, and the use of artificial intelligence techniques as learning devices of boundedly rational actors are among the most exciting interdisciplinary ventures of economic theory over the past decade.

Juval Portugali The notion of complex artificial environments (CAE) refers to theories of c- plexity and self-organization, as well as to artifacts in general, and to artificial - vironments, such as cities, in particular.
