Following the 1st ICC Workshop, held in January 2008, the 2nd ICC Winter Workshop on Complexity in Social Systems will concern the study of social structures in communication networks, aiming to bring together researchers to report on progress in philosophy of science, social networks, computer networks and social simulation. Interdisciplinary points of view concerning these domains will be welcome. 

Theoretical and application domains will concern how different types of communication networks modeling, including Internet and telecommunications networks, can influence social structures and networking. 

The 2009 edition of the ICC Workshop will be associated with the Complexity Sciences Winter School, that will occur in Lisbon between the 5th and the 9th January, just before the workshop. Invited speakers and participants attaining the Winter School will be invited to present the conclusions of the school and to participate in the workshop discussions.
