Complex Networks: Dynamics on Networks - March 21-23, 2011
It has now been clearly established that many social and technological systems are complex networks. However after the structures have been estimated and the geometric properties of the graphs such as their "small world" nature have been studied, there remains the question: How does the structure of the network affect the behavior of processes taking place on the network? The SAMSI working group Dynamics ON Networks has been studying this question for evolutionary games and various models of the spread of opinions and epidemics, both for tree like random networks and for clustered networks. The main purpose of this workshop is to facilitate progress on group projects by bringing our long distance collaborators to SAMSI and by bringing researchers whose work has been important for our investigations.
Speakers will include Duygu Balcan (Indiana), Shweta Bansal (Penn State), Shankar Bhamidi (UNC-CH), Charlie Brummitt (UC Davis), Shirhsendu Chatterjee (Cornell), Vittoria Colizza (ISI and INSERM), James Gleeson (U of Limerick, Ireland), Rachel Kranton (Duke), Nicolas Lanchier (Arizona State U), Elizabeth Leicht (Oxford), John McSweeney (Concordia), Joel Miller (Harvard), Mason Porter (Oxford), Sid Redner (Boston U.), Deena Schmidt (Ohio State), David Sivakoff (SAMSI), Sara Solla (Northwestern).
This workshop will be held at SAMSI.
