SIAM Workshop on Network Science (NS20)

About the Conference

The workshop is being held with The Second Joint SIAM/CAIMS Annual Meeting, the SIAM Conference on Imaging Science (IS20), and the Canadian Symposium on Fluid Dynamics.

Network science has a rich history, tracing its roots back through sociology, physics, biology, electrical engineering, computer science, and topology all the way to Euler and the Königsberg bridges nearly 300 years ago. Network science is concerned with the structure and dynamics of graphs (and generalizations of graphs), dynamical processes on such graphs, and the design and analysis algorithms that compute with and on them. The goal of the SIAM Network Science workshop is to promote cross-fertilization and new research among the communities that study and apply networks, both inside and outside SIAM.
