Assyst Workshop on:
Mathematics in Network Science: Implications to Socially Coupled Systems
Torino, 21-23 November 2011
The revolution in social systems science occurs during interdependent crisis worldwide in governmental, economic and commercial institutions and the social systems they embody and serve.
Addressing this situation becomes evermore urgent as, for example, the population of cities in 40 years time will equal the current global population and most of that growth will appear in developing nations; all of this occurring in a period of austerity and retrenchment in the developed world. Global urbanization and sustainable resilient societies are then obvious grand challenge problems for modern science generally and network sciences in particular.
Scope of the workshop is to share new ideas about computing, mathematics and decision-making in a time of increasing interdependency among networks of social, economic, natural and engineered systems.
The workshop will provide a venue for a range of researchers involved in Network Science and the emerging applications in two broad themes:
* Network Science as an integrating framework for real world complexity.
* Complexity Science in service of governance and policy tools for human survival in the 21 Century
