2) Complexity in Biomedical Sciences.
A. Athanassiadou (Patras), V. Basios (Brussels), A. Bezerianos (Singapore/Patras), A. S. Fokas (Cambridge), A. Piattelli (Chieti-Pescara), A. Provata (Athens)

3) Complex Networks and Information Theory.
G. Pistone (Torino), S. Puechmorel (Toulouse), J. J. P. Veerman (Portland)

4) Entropy and Complexity.
D. P. K. Ghikas (Patras), R. Hanel (Vienna), S. Thurner (Vienna), C. Tsallis (Rio de Janeiro)
