Multiple Network Modeling, Analysis and Mining

2nd Edition - Satellite Symposium at NetSci2014


Berkeley, California - Clark Kerr Campus of the University of California
Monday, June 2nd, 2014: Starting @ 9AM - Ending @ 6PM.

Description

A complex network is a model used to represent complex interacting phenomena such as social interactions among human beings, biological reactions in organisms and technological systems. Complex networks have been widely used by scholars from different fields to tackle a large number of real-world phenomena. Some important milestones in the recent scientific scenario, such as the ubiquitous emergence in different natural phenomena of small-world and scale-free structures, come from complex network analysis.

Real-world phenomena may require very rich representations. For example, the entities under study may relate to each other for different reasons. In this case, complex networks considering only one kind of interaction are not sufficient anymore, and network scholars developed Multiple Network models.

Multiple Networks are networks in which the nodes may be connected through different relations. Let us consider the case of a social network. At the present day, a person can establish a social relation with hundreds of different people. Are all these people "friends"? Is it possible to organize all these relationships in the same class? Of course not: we have relatives, sentimental relationships, work mates and several different reasons, and degrees, to call the people we know "friends" or "acquaintances".

Such complex models demand an interdisciplinary approach. As the nature of these structures is multidimensional, also a multidimensional mind nexus is required to fully understand them. With this idea in mind, we open this symposium to network scientists from a disparate background set: from computer science to art history, from physics to economics. This symposium aims to be a starting point of an unified, interdisciplinary community focused on the study of multiple networks.

Contributions

We invite you to submit a 300 word abstract including one descriptive figure by April 14, 2014 using our EasyChair submission link: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mnam2014
Contributors will be selected using a review process managed by the organizers. Any topic that can be covered using a multiple network is welcome. We encourage people from fields like computer science, physics, mathematics, humanities, sociology, visualization and design to submit their work.

Attendance

Attendance to our symposium is free of charge. However, you must register to NetSci to attend, at least for NetSci's satellites. For the NetSci2014 registration fee and deadline please see: NetSci Registration.

As space is limited, we enocourage you to notify us that you are coming by subscribing to our GoogleDoc.


About NetSci

The International Conference on Network Science 2014, NetSci2014, in Berkeley, California, from June 2nd to 6th, 2014 focuses on interdisciplinary research on networks from various disciplines such as economy, biology, medicine, or sociology, and aims to bring new network analytic methods from physics, computer science, math, or statistics to the attention of a large and diverse audience.
