CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

NETSCI2020 - SATELLITE CONFERENCE
"STATISTICAL MECHANICS METHODS FOR NETWORKS

https://sites.google.com/view/smmn

The NetSci 2020 conference was postponed to September. The situation is dynamic and it is still unclear what will be the final outcome. Nevertheless, we would like to draw your attention to a satellite session, which will surely follow the main conference.

The objective of the Satellite conference on "Statistical Mechanics Methods for Networks” is to bring together academics, young researchers and PhD students working in the area of statistical models of both static and dynamic networks. A particular focus is then given to the study of methods based on Statistical Mechanics of networks, which permit the learning of mechanisms driving the formation and the evolution of the networked systems. The Satellite will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss the novel results and may, in turn, suggest fruitful and relevant directions for future research.
