Network Frontier Workshop 2013; Evanston, Illinois; December 4-6 2013

该研讨会支持奖是为将于2013年12月4日至6日在伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿西北大学举行的关于复杂网络的两年一度的会议“网络前沿研讨会”颁发的。会议将汇集网络科学，动力系统和复杂系统互补领域的不同专家组，重点关注跨越学科界限的主题。与会者将包括理论和应用方面的专家以及学生和博士后研究人员。此外，他们还将参与讨论可能导致变革性研究的未来方向。该计划将包括教程，年轻研究人员的演讲，以及关于就业机会的讨论，此外，该领域的领先专家的研究讲座。在这个研讨会上，演讲者将报告在网络科学和相关应用领域的最新成果。参与者将了解各自子领域的最新成果，并能够在跨学科环境中与其他专家进行讨论。 预计这将产生新的见解，并刺激新的跨学科合作。此外，研讨会将涉及与西北SIAM学生分会联合组织的活动，其中包括专家辅导，学生和博士后研究人员的演讲以及关于就业机会的讨论。早期职业研究人员的参与也将有助于促进专业知识向下一代工程师，物理学家和数学家的转移。

This workshop support award is for the bi-annual meeting on complex networks "Network Frontier Workshop" to be held at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, December 4-6 2013. The meeting will bring together a diverse group of experts in complementary areas of network science, dynamical systems, and complex systems, with substantial emphasis given to topics that cut across disciplinary boundaries. Participants will include experts both in theory and in applications as well as students and postdoctoral researchers. They will, in addition, participate in discussions about future directions that are likely to lead to transformative research. The program will include tutorials, presentations by young researchers, and discussions about career opportunities, in addition to research talks by leading experts in the field.In this workshop, presenters will report recent results in the area of network science and related applications. Participants will become aware of the latest results in their respective subfields, and will also be able to discuss with other experts in an interdisciplinary environment. This is expected to generate new insights and stimulate new interdisciplinary collaborations. In addition, the workshop will involve activities jointly organized with the Northwestern SIAM Student Chapter, which will include tutorials by experts, presentations by students and postdoctoral researchers, and discussions about career opportunities. The participation of early-career researchers will also help promote the transfer of expertise to the next generation of engineers, physicists, and mathematicians.
