Conference: Applications of Network Theory

Just a quick advertisement for an exciting European conference co-organized by my fellow NetSci 2013 organizer Petter Holme. It takes place in Stockholm, Sweden in early April. The speaker line-up looks pretty good, despite the fact that they invited me [1].

Conference on Applications of Network Theory

Date & Location: 7 - 9 April 2011 at AlbaNova in Stockholm Sweden Organizers: Peter Minnhagen (Umeå) and Petter Holme (Umeå) Invited speakers: Lada Adamic, University of Michigan Albert-Laszlo Barabási, Northeastern University Jordi Bascompte, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas Sebastian Bernhardsson, Niels Bohr Institute Vincent Blondel, University of Louvain Aaron Clauset, University of Colorado Sergey Dorogovtsev, University of Aveiro Birgitte Freiesleben de Blasio, University of Oslo Thilo Gross, MPI Dresden Kimmo Kaski, Aalto University Beom Jun Kim, Sungkyunkwan University Renaud Lambiotte, FUNDP Vito Latora, Catania University Sune Lehmann, Technical University of Denmark Fredrik Liljeros, Stockholm University Jukka-Pekka Onnela, Harvard University Juyong Park, Kyung-Hee University Veronica Ramenzoni, MPI Nijmegen Martin Rosvall, Umeå University Jari Saramäki, Aalto University Bo Söderberg, Lund University Brian Uzzi, Northwestern University Jevin West, University of Washington Description: The main idea is to convene key world-class researchers on complex networks and let them interact freely with the Nordic groups interested in the area. The program will be divided into four thematic areas: biological networks, general network theory, technological networks, and social networks. Many of the intended participants are interested in several of these points. Much progress in network theory has been made by analogies from different fields, and complex-network researchers value this, therefore we believe such a schedule will not seem unattractive to participants. In addition to the regular schedule during the Nordita program, of one or two talks per day, we will arrange a more intense, three day workshop April 7-9. One purpose of this workshop, is to attract researchers not able to stay the extended time required by the program. This workshop is being organized as part of a long-program on networks at NORDITA. Registration deadline: 15 March 2011 or when 70 participants have registered.
