The meeting on "Emergence in disordered, interacting and living systems" to be held at the Aspen Center for Physics, August 12th, 2017 will bring together world leaders in the area of emergence in disordered, interacting, and living systems to discuss grand challenges in the area that face the community today. The occasion of the conference will also be used to mark the achievements of Professor Elihu Abrahams, whose work has shaped our understanding of this area of science, both in the context of condensed matter physics and in the life sciences. The conference will focus on forward-looking research talks and panel discussions, and will be supplemented with presentations with historical perspective, examining the areas of science where Professor Abrahams has made seminal contributions. This event will provide a unique opportunity to summarize the current status of understanding of emergent behavior in condensed matter and living systems. The presentations and discussions at this event will be published online on the conference web-page. The perspective provided by this meeting will help to frame the big questions and directions for research in this area for future researchers to push back the frontiers of research.Disorder and noise in interacting many-body systems are fundamental to areas of science as diverse as quantum computing and in general electronic devises and in biology in cell function and brain neuronal networks. They serve as models for the physical principles and dynamical processes that living systems exploit to perform their functions. Elihu Abrahams is a pioneer in the theoretical foundations of our understanding of disordered and interacting systems, extending the concepts beyond his main specialty of quantum condensed matter physics to areas including spin glasses and neural networks. The conference will focus on these areas and the PI will discuss the latest experimental and theoretical developments. In line with a long-standing tradition of Aspen workshops, a significant fraction of the speakers and participants will be junior scientists. The PI will specifically recruit junior speakers and a diverse group of participants from many universities. The meeting site is accessible for people with disabilities and when registering for the conference such people will be able to identify any special needs so that the conference organizers can accommodate those needs.

2017年8月12日，在阿斯彭物理中心举行的“出现，互动和生活系统中的出现”会议将使在无序，互动和生活系统中汇集世界领导者，讨论当今面临社区面临的巨大挑战。会议的场合还将被用来标记Elihu Abrahams教授的成就，Elihu Abrahams教授的工作塑造了我们对这一科学领域的理解，无论是在凝结物理学和生命科学的背景下。该会议将重点介绍前瞻性的研究演讲和小组讨论，并以历史观点进行介绍，并研究亚伯拉罕教授做出开创性贡献的科学领域。该事件将提供一个独特的机会，以总结理解凝结物和生活系统中新兴行为的当前状态。此活动的演示和讨论将在会议网页上在线发布。这次会议提供的观点将有助于构建该领域的研究的大问题和方向，以使未来的研究人员推迟研究的前沿。相互作用的多体系统的差异和噪音对像量子计算以及一般电子学和生物学在细胞功能和大脑神经元网络中的科学领域以及一般电子宣传和生物学的发展都是重要的。它们是生活系统利用执行其功能的物理原理和动力学过程的模型。 Elihu Abrahams是我们对无序和相互作用系统理解的理论基础的先驱，将概念扩展到了他的量子凝结物理学的主要专业之外，将其扩展到包括旋转眼镜和神经网络在内的领域。会议将重点关注这些领域，PI将讨论最新的实验和理论发展。按照aspen研讨会的长期传统，大部分的演讲者和参与者将是初级科学家。 PI将专门招募初级演讲者和来自许多大学的各种参与者。残疾人可以访问会议网站，在注册会议时，这些人将能够确定任何特殊需求，以便会议组织者可以满足这些需求。
