ICMS - International Centre for Mathematical Sciences

The theme of this meeting, which links academia, industry and government, is historical analysis (HA), the sub-discipline of operational research which conducts quantitative studies of historical warfare and other operations to learn lessons for contemporary defence and security. In addition to attendees from industry and government already familiar with the area, the meeting aims to attract academic operational researchers, mathematicians and statisticians with a strong interest in history, and historians sympathetic to quantitative approaches. Talks and discussions will be accessible to all, with the aim of the meeting being to seed innovative technique and analysis both directly in HA and across the traditional academic divide between history and the mathematical sciences.

Mathematical representations of complex institutions will enable us to move beyond the limits of tools such as game theory by introducing the composability, abstraction, and modularity of software engineering. With formal representations, scholars can begin to imagine a computationally aided design (CAD) of arbitrarily complex institutions. For example, within recent frameworks like "categorical game theory," a focus of this workshop, researchers from across the social sciences can compose systems of economic games into complex governance institutions. With such advances, computationally inclined economists, sociologists, political scientists, and natural resource scholars gain a common language for representing fundamental challenges in the design of social systems.

The conference will be held at the beautiful and easily accessible Conference Centre Aston in Birmingham and will showcase activities from across all areas of OR. We welcome contributions that are empirically motivated and with a focus on application, as well as those that are theoretically driven. The conference will host plenaries from leading international experts, sessions of themed talks, as well as poster sessions, and will provide plenty of opportunities for networking.
