NetSci 2017

NetSci 2017 aims to bring together leading researchers and practitioners working in the emerging area of network science. The conference fosters interdisciplinary communication and collaboration in network science research across computer and information sciences, physics, mathematics, statistics, the life sciences, neuroscience, environmental sciences, social sciences, finance and business, arts and design.

 

NetSci 2017 is a combination of:

  • Satellite Symposia (June 19 & 20)
  • An International School for students and non-experts (June 19 & 20), and
  • A 3-day Conference (June 21-23) featuring research in a wide range of topics and in different formats, including keynote and invited talks, oral presentations, posters, and lightning talks.

Abstracts for oral presentations, lightning talks, and posters are due January 15, 2017. Please read more details in the call. The Easy Chair submission portal will open by November 1 for submissions and will be located on this page.

 

Proposals to run a full- or half-day satellite session before the main conference are due December 15, 2016.

 

The NetSci conference is an annual meeting of the Network Science Society and is hosted this year by the Indiana University Network Science Institute(IUNI). If you have questions, contact us at netsci17@iu.edu.

Complexity, Criticality and Computation (C3) Research Camp 2016 – Complex Systems – The University of Sydney

This week-long research camp explores the importance of studying complex systems. It will be organised by the University’s Centre for Complex Systems (CCS), and co-hosted by the University’s Charles Perkins Centre (CPC).

During this event we will consider a diverse range of systems, applications, theoretical and practical approaches to computational modelling of modern complex systems, including information theory, agent-based simulation, network theory, nonlinear dynamics, swarm intelligence, evolutionary methods, computational neuroscience, and econophysics. The program will include a number of three-hour tutorials, delivered by complex systems experts, from our own Master of Complex Systems program and overseas.

 

When: 9am – 5pm, 30 November (Wed) – 6 December (Tue), 2016
Where: Charles Perkins Centre Seminar Rooms, The University of Sydney
Cost: Free
Registration: Please email Mikhail Prokopenko with your name and affiliation, by Nov 16.

Multimodel agent-based simulation environment for mass-gatherings and pedestrian dynamics

• A multimodel agent-based simulation environment (PULSE) is presented.
• Model integration techniques suggested: common space and commonly controlled agents.
• Crowd pressure metrics for simulating crushing and asphyxia in crowds are proposed.
• Simulations of evacuation from cinema building to the city streets are carried out.
