18th IWCFTA
International Workshop on Complex-systems for Future Technologies and Applications
Changzhou, China (31st, October - 2nd, November, 2025)
The 18th IWCFTA, Changzhou, China, 31st October - 2nd November, 2025
The International Workshop on Complex-systems for Future Technologies and Applications (IWCFTA) will be the successor of the formerly successfully series of International Workshop on Chaos-Fractals Theories and Applications. The new workshop will cover topics beyond Chaos and Fractal Theory to general complex systems which are abundant in modern society.
With the exploration and research of natural science, great progress has been made in the study of complex systems. Recently, represented by complex networks, chaos and fractal theory, nonlinear science provides new horizons and tools for the research in the fields of cryptography, signal processing, multimedia, communication systems, biology and economic systems. Adhering to the tenet of the previous seventeen conferences, the 18th IWCFTA aims to provide a high-level international forum for scientists, scholars, researchers and engineers at home and abroad to exchange and discuss the latest discoveries of complex systems theory and its applications in various fields, including informatics.
It will provide a high-level international forum for researchers and scholars to present the latest research results and discuss trends in complex systems and interdisciplinary scientific fields. The purpose of the conference is to discuss the most relevant theories and approaches to understanding, modelling, simulating, predicting, evaluating and mastering various Scientifical, Societal, Ecological, Biological and Engineered Complex Systems.
