In the rapidly evolving landscape of complex systems research, the influx of vast and intricate data poses formidable challenges. From managing large-scale, temporal information to navigating the intricate web of heterogeneous interactions and grappling with higher-order complexities, the need for innovative datasets, software, and libraries has become increasingly evident. In response to this demand, our proposed workshop, "Software and Data for Complex Systems," aims to serve as a pivotal platform for the exploration and dissemination of cutting-edge tools and methodologies.

The workshop will centre on addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by complex systems, with a specific focus on the development and utilisation of datasets, software, and libraries. The overarching goal is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to showcase their pioneering solutions, facilitating the analysis, understanding, and testing of theories and models across diverse domains.

We invite contributions on the following topics:

• Software Libraries and Tools: Spotlight impactful libraries, tools, and datasets. By doing so, we aim to foster a dynamic exchange of ideas and innovations that transcend the boundaries of conventional research outcomes. 

• Datasets: we encourage the presentation of novel datasets that could be useful in advancing our understanding of complex systems.

• Interactive Demos: Presenters are encouraged to elevate their presentations through live demonstrations. This interactive approach not only enhances the learning experience for participants but also empowers them to explore the functionalities of the showcased tools in real-time.

• Behind-the-Scenes Development Story: Unveiling the intricacies of tool development, presenters will delve into the challenges and successes encountered throughout the process. This includes insights into securing funding, community building, and the crucial transition from research code to practical, usable software. By sharing these stories, the workshop aims to inspire and guide emerging developers in the complex systems domain.

Moreover, our workshop is designed to feature keynote and tutorial sessions from industry leaders who will share their experiences, best practices, and guidance. These sessions will offer attendees unique insights into the real-world applications of software and data solutions, further enriching their understanding and providing a roadmap for success in their own endeavours.
