Scope and Topics
The dynamical evolution of complex networks and ongoing processes are one of the hottest contemporary directions in Network Science. The main aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in this field focusing on the description, observation, and modeling of the dynamics on and of networks.
"Dynamics on networks" refers to the different types of processes (e.g. proliferation, diffusion, random walk, etc.) that take place on networks, with functionality/efficiency strongly affected by the topology as well as the dynamics of interactions.
On the other hand, "Dynamics of networks" mainly refers to time-varying interactions, which defines temporal networks on the finest possible level, which are crucial to understand the evolution and the emerging properties of complex networks. It has become clear that properties such as stability, robustness, connectivity, etc. depend on the temporal evolution of networks driven by higher order structural and temporal correlations.
A motivation of the workshop is also to bring together scientists interested in the development of methodologies to study complex networks and data on graphs, especially in the domains of computer science, graph-theoretical algorithms, graph-signal processing, data analytics, physics, computational social science, epidemiology, econometrics and social network theory.
The workshop expects multi-disciplinary research contributions to study common problems in systems exhibiting a complex network structure (e.g., biological systems, linguistic systems, social systems and various other man-made systems like the Internet, WWW, peer-to-peer systems etc.). Accordingly, one of the major goals of the workshop is to build bridges between different research areas and their corresponding communities.
