IC Research Day "THE WORLD OF NETWORKS: from Social Processes to the Brain"
Nearly sold out!
Computational models of networks are the central tools in our effort to understand the behavior of large, distributed systems: Social networks capture how information and influence flow through society; infection networks describe how a disease becomes an epidemic; and neural networks replicate the cognitive patterns of their biological counterparts. These models enable us to explain, predict, and control such processes. We can reason about strategies for winning a word-of-mouth campaign on the social web, for identifying the likely source of an epidemic after the fact, and for modeling how the brain evolves with learning.
Through a series of talks by international experts on social networking, neuroscience, and network tomography, the 2013 Research Day will provide a fascinating glimpse of the potential and of the methods of this emerging science of networks.
