Welcome to Social Systems Engineering Centre web page, at the University of Valladolid.

Our interests are focused in the study of complex systems. We have applied different methods to characterize complexity in different research fields.

The study of complex physical and social systems requires a multidisciplinary approach that integrates various inputs from economics, sociology, engineering, geography, etc. .. Moreover, the methodologies developed in recent years on artificial intelligence and within the field of systems thinking allows to construct models to help understand complex systems.

With this approach and under the name InSiSoc Group, a group of professors at the University of Valladolid, have been developing research work from the second half of the'90s. His work has been reflected in numerous publications in prestigious journals, also participate in various research projects nationally and internationally.

Ten years of research looking for excellence in the treatment of complexity in Project Managament, Institutional Design, Environmental policies related with water management and/or CO2 emissions, artificial financial markets, industrial policy, supply chain management and intelligent manufacturing; endorse our advances in complexity studies. We have contributed interesting results troughout competitive successful research projects and main journals and publications.

INSISOC has been pioneered in the design of mechanisms that enable agents interactions in simulated models of complex systems. By this way, we have "engineered" the emerging behaviour of the system we study in a generative way ("the third way"). These results provided the basis to name our group: Social SYstems Engineering Centre.

Our purpose of study and research are complex systems. Applying techniques and tools to pursue treatment of the complexity characterizing and modeling the aggregate behavior of the system under study.

We benefited from artificial intelligence, multiagent systems, experimental economics, system dynamics, cybernetics, and the generative approach from simulation to complex systems.

We consider that the most powerful "tool" to apply in complex systems research is the consilient approach: Engineers, economists, sociologists, philosophers, geographers,.... are welcome to join, whenever they are interested in:

Designing of market institutions.
Bargaining.
Industry dynamics and policy.
Project Management.
Experimental economics.
Learning and organisational change
Agent based modelling.Estudio de procesos de negociación.

In order to disseminate the activities of the group, we have launched the ISIA network, as a forum that will include both Spanish and English publications..

We are based in Valladolid, at the
