These papers were peer-reviewed. The Granada Seminar is defined as a small
topical conference whose pedagogical effort is especially aimed at young
researchers. This year's seminar covered the modelling of complex systems that
are of interest in the social sciences. In an effort to offer pedagogical notes,
each topic is comprehensively described and some practical exercises are
proposed. This helps introduce non-experts to novel advances in statistical
physics and to the creative use of computers in scientific research, as well as
to serve as a work of reference for teachers, students and researchers.
