Temporal Networks, Human Dynamics and Social Physics
NetSci'14 Symposium, Berkeley California, June 2-6 2014
A clear understanding of human interactions and more generally social dynamics has a wide range of applications, ranging from social sciences to information technology, and more fundamentally it is crucial for the design and modeling of social organizations, companies, and governments that are more efficient, responsive, and creative. In this context, however, little is known about the temporal properties of social dynamics and their effects on relevant diffusion processes such as epidemics, and ideas spreading. The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers interested in the use of network science and human behavioral data to improve our understanding of the physics of human social behavior.
The list of topics that we aim to cover at the symposia is the following:
• Modeling of human behavior
• Empirical measurements of human behavior
• Dynamic interplay between social temporal networks and human behavior
• Empirical measurements of temporal networks
• Representation of time-resolved datasets
• Analysis and characterization of temporal networks
• Modeling of temporal networks
• Dynamical processes on temporal networks
The Symposium will be hosted by NetSci'14 and located Clark Kerr Campus of the University of California.
Submission deadline is April 1, 2014. Please visit the Call for Abstracts page for information on how to submit your abstract
