        Network Analysis in Natural Sciences and Engineering
                        April 4th-6th 2006
            http://irgroup.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/NAiNE/
                           part of
        AISB'06: Adaptation in Artificial and Biological Systems
                University of Bristol, Bristol, England
    

Aims & Scope:
-------------
Network analysis and modelling address a wide spectrum of techniques for 
studying domains consisting of individuals that are linked together into 
complex networks. Networks refer to artificial and natural systems like 
communication networks, social networks and biological networks.

Both graph theory and techniques recently developed for the analysis of 
networks provide a substantial background for studying complex network 
structures and dynamics in artificial and biological systems. They allow 
us to answer questions in common to these networks like aspects of 
adaptability, error and attack tolerance, complexity, community 
structures, and propagation patterns. One of the key features of natural 
networks is their ability to adapt to changing environments while 
maintaining an appropriate pattern of behaviour. Such adaptive capacity 
can be found in a whole range of natural networks, from gene-protein 
interaction networks within individual cells, through physiological 
systems, to ecosystems.

The aim of this symposium is to provide a forum to bring together 
scientists from biology, computer science and related disciplines who 
are concerned with theoretical and applied network analysis and 
modelling in the context of diverse disciplines, the adaptability in 
natural networks, and its application to artificial networks. 
Furthermore, the symposium will serve as a forum for interdisciplinary 
discussions to promote a comprehensive view of the state of the art in 
this field and to identify emerging and future research issues.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
    * Adaptability in biological networks
    * Mining and learning from network data
    * Prediction of structural network properties
    * Network dynamics
    * Network topology
    * Community structures
    * Topological motifs
    * Pattern mining
    * Social network analysis in human and animal societies
    * Genetic regulatory and protein interaction networks
    * Robustness issues
    * Complexity issues
    * Model selection and sampling in networks
    * Massive graph mining
    * Information networks
    * Applications of network theory
