CONFERENCE 2015

Programme

Registration is now closed for the 2015 conference on “Statistical Physics Approaches to Networks Across Disciplines”. The meeting was held Tuesday 20 – Friday 23 October 2015 in Devonport House, London. Topics included optimization and control in networks; inference in networks; dynamical processes on networks and network evolution, and application areas including systems biology and neurobiology; information technology and communication networks; finance and socio-economic systems; and network phenomena in photonic systems.
