Welcome to "Dynamics on and of Networks", TWCR 2020, the Third International TRANSIT workshop on Cross-disciplinary Research.  We had to cancel the live event in York, and have moved to an asynchronous ONLINE event.

The TWCR 2020 blogsite is now OPEN

Speakers have provided material : presentations, slidepacks, or reading lists.

To join the workshop, please visit the blog, read/watch the uploaded presentations, and join in the Q&A session via the comments.  (See further instructions under the "Participating" tab.)  Please circulate this invitation to your interested colleagues.
 
Let's have a vibrant and exciting online workshop!

Keynote speakers:

Jean-Louis Giavitto, IRCAM, France - Man-Machine Synchronization 

James Marshall, Sheffield, UK - 'Optimal' decisions on and of graphs

Anje-Margriet Neutel, British Antarctic Survey, UK - Soil webs, sea mats and scaling the turtle: Making sense of the multitude of feedbacks in flow networks

The Third International TRANSIT workshop on Cross-disciplinary Research (TWCR 2020) will take place in York, UK, on 25-26 March 2020.  It is hosted by the York Cross-disciplinary Centre for Systems Analysis and the University of York.

Networks are models that are used across disciplines; examples include metabolic networks, neural networks, food webs, wireless communication networks, transport networks, animal and human social networks, and many more.  These networks support dynamics, behaviours and change.  Dynamics on networks describes how the state of a network changes over time, such as following traffic flow in a road network, or learning weights in an artificial neural network.  Dynamics of networks, their meta-dynamics, studies how the structure of a network changes over time, for example, through evolution, through learning causing rewiring in a neural network, or through addition of a species to a food web causing other species to die off.  From physics to philosophy, from biology to art, from engineering to science, networks and their dynamics abound, and each discipline can learn theories, tools, techniques, and applications from the others.

TWCR 2020 explores the cross-disciplinary theme of Dynamics on and of Networks, seeking to bring together ideas, approaches, concepts, and perspectives from natural biological systems and other physical systems, from engineered physical and virtual systems, and from human social systems.  

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from all these connected fields, to engage across the disciplines, to inform of latest findings, to transfer discoveries and concepts from one field to another, and to inspire new ideas and new collaborations across the theme.

The TWCR programme committee invite you to submit a one page abstract (by 13 January 2020) in any area of network dynamics related to the call theme.  A collection of submissions covering the range of the theme will be selected for presentation (by short talk, or by poster) at the workshop.  Submission is via the Easy Chair system.
