A three-day workshop at the University of Bath on the analysis of models of collective dynamics and evolutionary networks, and their use across physical, social, financial and biological applications.



About the event

'Network-type' problems, for example, internet reliability and security, genetic regulation, transportation, utilities and communication infrastructure are one of the emergent themes of 21st century science. Despite their diverse fields of application, and methods of study within those fields, it has become increasingly clear that serious scientific progress can be made by considering commonalities both through abstraction and through quantitative study of datasets. Collective behaviour problems arise in a similarly broad range of situations: obvious examples from the natural world include human crowd dynamics, animal social groups, flocking, herding, swarming and shoaling behaviours, and these descriptions have crossed into many other areas, notably descriptions of financial activity.

The focus of this workshop is on the modelling and analysis of evolving networks and collective dynamics, as well as applications across a wide range of problems including those from physical, biological, financial and social sciences.
