The Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study is pleased to announce that effective July 1, 2005, we were joined by GMU's Center for Social Complexity. CSC represents GMU's initiative in Computational Social Science, which will be physically housed in the new Research-1 Building scheduled for completion next summer 2006. The Center for Social Complexity is known to many Krasnow members for its research projects in computational social science, including the collaborative MASON project with the Evolutionary Computation Lab, as well as the brown bag seminar in CSS which has been hosted at Krasnow. Additional information on the Center is available at http://socialcomplexity.gmu.edu, which is being updated to reflect this organizational change. Further announcements will follow later this summer.
