Research workshop: 28 June-1 July 2010, Bristol, UK
http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/~madjl/Statworks_Poster.pdf
Aim and scope
Network structures arise in modelling a wide variety of phenomena in the natural and social sciences, and engineering. As researchers find networks a natural perspective for analysing an ever more diverse set of applications, an almost equally diverse set of a methodologies emerge, ranging from highly-tailored ad hoc solutions to broad attempts to capture the full generality of network inference. In such a new field of exploration, each of these disparate paths contributes to our joint understanding of the scope of
network-based models. The aim of this workshop is to gather together statisticians, mathematical modellers and application-oriented researchers, hoping to further this progress by discussing:
- commonalities of current methodologies;
- where specific applications might borrow methods from other areas;
- the contribution that rigorous modelling can make to inference to applied problems;
- areas where application-specific approaches point the way forward to new theoretical developments;
- the identification of methodological gaps.
