The Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) Conference was founded and organized by Missouri University of Science and Technology in 2011, pushing research boundaries over the last thirteen years. In 2025 the conference was held at MIT in Cambridge, MA USA. (https://sites.mit.edu/cas2025/)
In 2026, CAS will take place for the first time in Asia, hosted at The University of Tokyo. CAS 2026 Tokyo will emphasize theoretical depth, academic rigor, and cross-disciplinary dialogue, strengthening the academic foundations of Systems Engineering and Complex Systems Science. It will serve as a forum dedicated to theory, modeling, and the fundamental understanding of adaptive and emergent behavior in complex systems.
Since CAS 2026 will take place immediately after the INCOSE International Symposium (June 13-18 in Yokohama), we warmly encourage participants to consider attending both events during their visit to Japan.
