DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Understanding Complex Systems Conference, UCS2006, will be held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign May 16-19, 2006. UCS2006 will turn towards the molecular basis of life and focus on complex chemical systems. Topics covered will be the origin and sustainability of life, dynamics of information and energy flows on evolving networks as well as water, a complex indispensability for life. The goal of UCS2006 is to encourage discussion and collaboration among leading scientists, professionals and graduate students in various academic and industrial fields. The objective is to stimulate cross-disciplinary research activities and knowledge sharing among disciplines. The field of complex chemical systems is related to medical disciplines, biology, physics, computer science, mathematics, microbiology and psychology. By helping bridge the gap among these fields, the symposium takes vital part in advancing knowledge within these inter-related fields. Only a few conferences such as the UCS2006 with its creative conceptional design focus on the multi-disciplinary aspects of problems in a comprehensive context. A group of distinguished invited speakers will introduce key complex systems concepts in the context of their discipline. In parallel with the lecture sessions, there will be hands-on tutorials, which will cover the most recent research findings, as well as nightly poster sessions. This allows for a maximal dissemination and discussion of more technical information. The organizers will also provide information about funding opportunities for complex systems research and promote linkages for interdisciplinary proposals. Through interaction and knowledge sharing, researchers will be able to apply solutions posed in related disciplines to solve their own problems. Graduate students have the opportunity to showcase their studies and to network with respected professionals in the field. Thus all participants are given the opportunity to engage in joint efforts to educate, network, discover and enrich research through diverse learning perspectives. The conference actively seeks participation by under-represented groups. A high fraction of talks will be presented by the many outstanding women scientists and engineers in complexity science. A major use of the grant funds is to encourage participation from historically-minority institutions of higher learning. All facilities for UCS2006 are handicap accessible and equipment will be supplied upon request for any persons with disabilities.

描述（由申请人提供）：理解复杂系统会议 UCS2006 将于 2006 年 5 月 16-19 日在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校举行。UCS2006 将转向生命的分子基础并重点关注复杂的化学系统。涵盖的主题将包括生命的起源和可持续性、不断发展的网络上信息和能量流的动态以及水（生命的复杂必需品）。 UCS2006 的目标是鼓励各个学术和工业领域的顶尖科学家、专业人士和研究生之间的讨论与合作。目的是促进跨学科研究活动和学科之间的知识共享。复杂化学系统领域涉及医学学科、生物学、物理学、计算机科学、数学、微生物学和心理学。通过帮助弥合这些领域之间的差距，研讨会在推进这些相互关联领域的知识方面发挥了重要作用。只有少数会议，如UCS2006，其创造性的概念设计侧重于综合背景下的多学科方面的问题。一组受邀的杰出演讲者将在其学科背景下介绍关键的复杂系统概念。与讲座同时进行的还有实践教程，其中将涵盖最新的研究成果，以及每晚的海报会议。这允许最大限度地传播和讨论更多技术信息。组织者还将提供有关复杂系统研究资助机会的信息，并促进跨学科提案的联系。通过互动和知识共享，研究人员将能够应用相关学科提出的解决方案来解决自己的问题。研究生有机会展示他们的研究成果并与该领域受人尊敬的专业人士建立联系。因此，所有参与者都有机会通过不同的学习视角共同参与教育、网络、发现和丰富研究。会议积极寻求代表性不足的群体的参与。大部分演讲将由复杂性科学领域的许多杰出女科学家和工程师进行。赠款资金的一个主要用途是鼓励历史上少数民族高等教育机构的参与。 UCS2006 的所有设施均可供残疾人使用，并且将根据任何残疾人的要求提供设备。
