DESCRIPTION:IC Research Day "THE WORLD OF NETWORKS: from Social Processes 
 to the Brain"\nNearly sold out!\nComputational models of networks are the 
 central tools in our effort to understand the behavior of large\, distribu
 ted systems: Social networks capture how information and influence flow th
 rough society\; infection networks describe how a disease becomes an epide
 mic\; and neural networks replicate the cognitive patterns of their biolog
 ical counterparts. These models enable us to explain\, predict\, and contr
 ol such processes. We can reason about strategies for winning a word-of-mo
 uth campaign on the social web\, for identifying the likely source of an e
 pidemic after the fact\, and for modeling how the brain evolves with learn
 ing.\nThrough a series of talks by international experts on social network
 ing\, neuroscience\, and network tomography\, the 2013 Research Day will p
 rovide a fascinating glimpse of the potential and of the methods of this e
 merging science of networks.
