WNPC 2012 - Workshop in Networks -- Processes and Causality

Workshop in "Networks -- Processes and Causality
http://people.tuebingen.mpg.de/networks-workshop/
Menorca (Spain), Sept 3-6, 2012

There is a growing interest in analyzing increasingly larger networks,
and understanding and controlling
processes that take place over them. This spans a broad range of
domains, from modeling information
propagation over social networks to designing vaccination policies to
stop epidemics.
In this workshop, we bring together researchers and graduate students
that use machine learning, statistics,
graph theory, data mining, information retrieval, causality,
statistical physics, and sociology, to study large-scale
networks, processes that take place over them, and links to causality.
The workshop will consists of invited talks,
contributed talks, and enough time for scientific discussions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Cascading processes in networks
* Information propagation in networks
* Metrics, models and measurement of influence in networks
* Disease dynamics and vaccination in networks
* Mobility patterns and traveling in networks
* Propagation of revolutionary unrest in networks
* Signed networks
* Causal networks
* Longitudinal networks
* Games in networks
* Trust in networks
The workshop will be held in the Hotel Audax in Menorca (Spain) during
four days, Sept 3-6, 2012.
Applications are open until July 15th.
