Dynamic networks

Workshop theme

Networks represent relational structure in a sparse and compact manner. Very commonly such relationships evolve over time, and the number of objects in the studied system may also increase or decrease over time. Understanding such complex phenomena is difficult, especially if the evolution of the network depends on previously observed structure. This workshop will cover new dynamic network models, and understanding developed regarding already introduced model types.

Applications for this workshop are now closed
