IEEE Workshop COMPENG 2022 

We are delighted to inform you that the sixth edition of the IEEE Workshop COMPENG, sponsored by IEEE Italy Section, was held in Florence on 18-20 July 2022. The event has been hosted for the second time, at the Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics (GGI) in a historical site named “Hill of Arcetri” as recognized by EPS (European Physical Society).  COMPENG is a series of international workshops founded in 2010, aimed at providing a forum for experts and professionals working on the latest developments in complexity science and its application in an engineering perspective. Previous editions of the workshop were held in Rome, Italy (2010); Aachen, Germany (2012); Barcelona, Spain (2014); Catania, Italy (2016); Florence, Italy (2018).

This multidisciplinary conference included the presentation of 80 contributions (partly in presence and from remote) of the highest level. Of particular interest were five minisymposia on Neurocybernetics, Neuromorphic Photonics, Nonlinear Dynamics and Remote Monitoring. The last one focusing on the updated techniques on remote monitoring of infrastructures. These apparently disconnected issues are instead connected by aspects that are those of non-linear dynamics and more generally those of complexity which is a multisciplinary science by definition. Among them neural networks and network synchronization play a crucial role in our life. 

Considering the success of the event despite the persistence of the pandemic, we would be pleased to re-propose the event in two years (2024) in the same place, hopefully this time fully in-presence.  New stimuli from other IEEE Societies as the Technical Commitee of Nonlinear Circuits and Systems (IEEE-CAS) and Photonics will be acknowledged and will contribute to making the event even more appealing.
