ns16

The travel award deadline for this conference has been extended from February 8, 2016 to February 22, 2016.

The SIAM Workshop on Network Science (NS16) is co-located with the 2016 SIAM Annual Meeting (July 11-15) and the SIAM Conference on Life Sciences (July 11-14). 

Announcements

Technical Session Overflow Room
Due to overwhelming success of the workshop, and in order to accommodate the high number of attendees, arrangements have been made for a technical session overflow room. The overflow room will be in Webster, located next to the main technical session room, Stone. Both rooms are located on the Lobby Level of the Westin Boston Waterfront. Webster will include a screen and audio capability to enable attendees to see the presentation slides, hear the presentation, as well as an audience microphone to allow participants to communicate and ask questions of the presenter. If there is limited seating in Stone, attendees are encouraged to use Webster on both days of the workshop.

Statement on Inclusiveness

As a professional society, SIAM is committed to providing an inclusive climate that encourages the open expression and exchange of ideas, that is free from all forms of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, and that is welcoming and comfortable to all members and to those who participate in its activities. In pursuit of that commitment, SIAM is dedicated to the philosophy of equality of opportunity and treatment for all participants regardless of gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion or religious belief, age, marital status, disabilities, veteran status, field of expertise, or any other reason not related to scientific merit. This philosophy extends from SIAM conferences, to its publications, and to its governing structures and bodies. We expect all members of SIAM and participants in SIAM activities to work towards this commitment.

Description

Network science has a rich history, tracing its roots back through sociology, chemistry, biology, electrical engineering, computer science, and topology all the way to Euler and the Königsberg bridges nearly 300 years ago.  Network science studies the mathematical structure of the graphs that arise in these diverse fields, and the design, analysis, and applications of algorithms that compute with and on them.  The goal of the SIAM Network Science workshop is to promote cross-fertilization among the communities that study and apply networks and graphs, both inside and outside SIAM.

NS16 is co-located with the 2016 SIAM Annual Meeting (July 11-15) and the SIAM Conference on Life Sciences (July 11-14). 

 

Submission Information

We invite contributions focused on all aspects of mathematical, algorithmic, and computational techniques in network science. The workshop will feature three formats for contributed presentations: 25-minute talks, 5-minute lightning talks in the “Ignite” format (5 minutes, 20 slides, 15-second auto-advance), and posters. Visit the Ignite site for examples of Ignite presentations.

Please submit a 2-page abstract using the LaTeX style files provided through the SIAM NS16 EasyChair site. Accepted abstracts will be posted online in late May 2016; authors will be required to submit LaTeX source adhering to the template in April 2016.

The program committee will consider all submissions for all three presentation formats. The Ignite format is new for NS16, and we especially want to use it to highlight work by early-career researchers. If you feel your submission is particularly appropriate for an Ignite talk, please let us know using the checkbox on the EasyChair submission page.
