The role of the Committee is to coordinate the CS-DC evolving organized scientist network involved in identifying the scientific challenges through living complex systems roadmaps, and facilitate sharing all the research and educative ressources for overcoming them. This network will be organized through trans-disciplinary education and research e-departments, each federating the e-laboratories of a roadmap chapter. Each trans-disciplinary education and research e-laboratory is federating the e-community addressing one chapter challenge.

The objective of the Committee is to:

  • contribute to a research and education of the highest possible quality in the domains of the science of complex systems and the integrative & predictive sciences,

In order to achieve this objective, the commitments are to:

  • build through international contests the best possible integrated knowledge and integrated models of complex systems in order to bridge the gap between science and engineering,
  • have the relevant interactions with the others committees in order to achieve this objective.

The text for the call is the following one:

An e-department is a worldwide federation of e-laboratories that share a general theoretical question or the study of a large class of complex systems. It aims at proposing and organizing a pool of research and education resources of the highest quality produced by its e-laboratories. The CS-DC e-departments allow for an international visibility of its e-laboratories which becomes essential in order to answer to different scientific project calls and to give a worldwide resonance to a large research project. The e-departments act as a scientific guide for its e-laboratories through its Scientific Committee that gives advices and helps to define their research domains. The e-laboratories constitute the building blocks of the CS-DC. The transdisciplinary research subject of an e-laboratory may correspond to an existing transversal theoretical question on complex systems or to a class of complex systems already existing in the roadmap; or it may be a new research subject, thus helping the evolution of the living roadmap.

Both e-labs and e-departments may include project teams. These are groups of researchers that deal with a specific task. Project-teams use the wikiversity tool to produce open resources to be shared. Examples of the tasks of a project team are : the production of an integrated map or the development of an algorithmic platform. All e-laboratories and e-departments must have a Scientific International Events project team responsible for the organization of recurrent e-seminars, e-conferences and their international diffusion using the tools furnished by the CS-DC. In particular, the Scientific International Events Project Team of an e-lab (e-department) organizes the e-session (e-track) or the annual CS-DC e-conference that takes place in parallel with the annual CCS (Conference on Complex Systems). In order to provide a common working frame to scientists interested in a given aspect of complex system science, the e-laboratories and e-departments benefit from integrated collaborative tools of the CS-DC which help them to share resources and to diffuse their achievements. Using these tools, e-labs and e-departments are encouraged to develop:

  • its own wikiversity page, allowing to build the peer-to-peer collaboration of all the concerned scientists in the world. Exemples of this kind of collaboration may be found in the CS-DC living roadmap on wikiversity and/or the existing continental roadmaps (European, African, Latino-American)
  • its own CS-DC webpage for describing the entity and its links with other entities internal or external to CS-DC. A map displaying the whole networks on cs-dc.org and the living roadmap on the CS-DC is available in the portal of Wikiversity.
  • its own e-room (BBB 9.0)in the CS-DC visioconference ecosystem for organizing and recording its own international events series (e-meetings and e-seminar, e-workshops and e-school series, CS-DC international e-conference)
  • its own diffusion list (SYMPA)integrating the diffusion list of its affiliated entities
  • its own collaborative repository (OwnCloud) with the same facilities as google.doc.
  • its own forum, with the possibility of integrating the forum of the entity to which it belongs as well as those of its affiliated entities.
  • its own agenda, with upwards and downwards integrating facilities.
  • its own diffusion list (SYMPA), with upwards and downwards integrating facilities.
  • its own repository in cs-dc.archive with SharedLaTeX (as in google.doc). Each e-department has the opportunity to create a new journal using the cs-dc.archive, and each one of its e-laboratories has the opportunity to create a section in the journal with the help of its project-teams (end 2015).
  • its own access to Complex-System.VO and cs-dc.cloud (second semester 2015)

Following recommendations of the CS-DC Council, the minimum requirements of the permanent call for new e-departments and e-laboratories, , are: For an e-laboratory :

  • a scientific challenge (1 page with the bibliography),
  • a scientific committee with two renown scientists having gave their advices on this scientific challenge,
  • one project team "international events" with its program teams for organizing an e-session in the CS-DC'n series and/or international e-seminars and/or e-workshops and/or e-schools. The events can mix physical and distant presence with the CS-DC visioconference tools and are recorded for research and education purpose.

For an e-department :

  • a large scientific challenges (1 page with the bibliography),
  • two constitutive e-laboratories,
  • a scientific committee with two names of renown scientists plus one from the scientific committees of its e-laboratories,
  • one project-team "Scientific International Events" with its program team for organizing an e-track in the CS-DC'n series and/or international e-seminars and/or e-workshops and/or e-schools. The events can mix physical and distant presence with the CS-DC visioconference tools and are recorded for research and education purpose.

The call for e-tracks and e-sessions for CS-DC'15 is as follow (11th Council with light modifications):

Each e-track in the international e-conference CS-DC'15 constitutes the main annual worldwide event for the scientific e-community gathered in an e-department. It is also an excellent occasion for e-laboratories working on related subjects to explore the possibility of constituting a new e-department. Each e-track may have different e-sessions associated to the e-laboratories that constitute the existing e-department or, to the e-labs that gathered to propose the e-track.

With the help of the coordinators of the e-sessions, the e-track team selects its invited speaker, reviews the papers and posters showing the research and education results of the highest quality in its scientific community.

An e-session is typically proposed by an existing e-laboratory. As for the case of e-departments/e-tracks, e-sessions constitute an excellent occasion for scientists that are not integrated in an e-lab yet, to explore the possibility of creating a new one. It is possible for two e-sessions that are proposed by e-labs which do not belong to the existing e-departments, to create a new e-track. Finally, one or several thematic “open e-tracks” will be created to host isolated e-sessions if they exist.

E-sessions and e-tracks of the yearly CS-DC e-conference are a key instrument of the evolution of the CS-DC roadmap. Each accepted e-track and e-session has its own e-room for their e-meetings not only before the conference (e.g. for selecting the papers) but also after it (e.g. for managing the publishing on journals, or for continuing the debates during CS-DC'15 by an e-seminar). In order to encourage the creation of e-labs (e-depts) out of new e-sessions (e-tracks) the requirements of the corresponding applications have been kept very similar. Thus, if a group of scientists proposing a new e-session (new e-track) finds it useful to become an e-lab (e-department) they can easily participate of the corresponding permanent call.

For this reason the each e-track or e-sessions of CS-DC'15 benefits, (even if they are not issued from existing CS-DC e-departments and e-laboratories), from the same integrated collaborative tools during the current year, as e-departments and e-laboratories do, allowing them to develop:

  • its own wikiversity page for developing its own challenge under the peer-to-peer collaboration of all the concerned scientists in the world. Two tools are available for taking inspiration from the whole CS-DC living roadmap on wikiversity and/or the existing continental roadmaps (European, African, Latino-American)
  • its own e-room (BBB 9.0)in the CS-DC visioconference ecosystem for organizing and recording its own international events series (e-meetings and e-seminar, e-workshops and e-school series, CS-DC international e-conference)
  • its own diffusion list (SYMPA)integrating the diffusion list of its affiliated entities
  • its own collaborative repository (OwnCloud) with the same facilities as google.doc. The CS-DC multi-level files system is bottom-up transparent and top-down opaque.
  • its own forum. Has also its integrated forum of the fora of its affiliated entities and the fora of the entities it is member
  • its own agenda. Has also its integrated agenda of the agendas of its direct affiliated entities and of the agenda(s) of the entities it is member
  • its own diffusion list (SYMPA). Has also its integrated diffusion list of the own diffusion lists of its affiliated entities
  • its own repository in cs-dc.archive with SharedLaTeX (as in google.doc).

The recommendations for an e-session proposal are:

  • a scientific challenge (1 page including the bibliography),
  • at least two names of renown scientists having gave their advices on this scientific challenge,
  • at least two names of invited speakers proposed to the the program committee of its e-track,
  • at least a number of names equal to the number of accepted papers and posters for the program committee of its e-track,
  • the commitment to help the e-track to record all the talks of the e-session and
  • the commitment to organize the e-session again in the CS-DC'n series.

The recommendations for an e-track proposal are:

  • a large scientific challenges (1 pages including the bibliography),
  • at least two constitutive e-sessions plus at least one open session for papers finding no place in its constitutive e-sessions
  • a scientific committee with at least two names of renown scientists having gave their advices on this scientific challenge,
  • at least one invited speaker plus one by session and
  • at least two names for its program committee (because the open session) in addition to the names proposed by its e-sessions,
  • the commitment to record all the talks of the e-track with the help its e-sessions and
  • the commitment to organize the e-track again in the CS-DC'n series.

Due to the facilities described above, it is very easy for an accepted e-track to become an accepted e-department, and for an accepted e-session to become an accepted e-laboratory if they wish to go on with their collaboration beyond the CS-DC e-conference.
