MACFANG-17: First Workshop on Mapping Complexity - Foundations and Applications of Network Geometry November 6-8, 2017 |

Abstract registration deadline | July 9, 2017 |
Submission deadline | July 9, 2017 |
Many real networks are embedded in space, either explicitly, as in airport and urban networks, or in a hidden fashion, like latent distances underlying the AS Internet or molecular interactions in the cell. The study of how space shapes the structure and function of these networks has become a hot topic, leading to the emergence of Network Geometry. Advances in this area unleash an unprecedented potential for mapping real networks and for practical applications of high impact in society.
The Macfang workshop focuses on the role of space in complex networks. We bring exciting speakers from around the world to foster a leading collaborative view on the emergent field of Network Geometry. A number of topics will be covered, including but not limited to multiplex network geometry, distance-based link prediction, geometric networks at criticality, emerging geometries of evolving networks, and the role of space in dynamical processes, such as disease propagation.
Submission Guidelines
Contributions to the conference should be submitted via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=macfang17.
The submission should include a list of authors and their affiliations, with a minimum of one designated corresponding author, a title, a list of 3 keywords, and an extended abstract spanning no more than one page, formatted as a PDF file no larger than 20MB. Please give a sufficiently detailed description of your work and your methods so we can adequately assess its relevance. Each extended abstract will be reviewed by a Program Committee composed of experts in network geometry.
The deadline for submission is 9 July 2017. Notification of acceptance will be 24 July 2017.
Accepted contribution will be presented in the form of oral contribution (15 + 5 minutes), flash talks (5 + 0 minutes) or poster (DIN A0). Please select your preferred contribution type in the submission form.
Submissions are non-archival. For additional information, see the conference website.
