symposium at NetSci2011<BR>
<BR>
We are pleased to invite you to Arts, Humanities, and Complex Networks <BR>
— 2nd Leonardo satellite symposium at NetSci 2011 taking place at the <BR>
Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art, Budapest, on Tuesday, June <BR>
7, 2011.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Abstract: ^<BR>
We are pleased to announce the second Leonardo satellite symposium at <BR>
NetSci2011 on Arts, Humanities, and Complex Networks. The aim of the <BR>
symposium is to foster cross-disciplinary research on complex systems <BR>
within or with the help of arts and humanities.<BR>
<BR>
The symposium will highlight arts and humanities as an interesting <BR>
source of data, where the combined experience of arts, humanities <BR>
research, and natural science makes a huge difference in overcoming <BR>
the limitations of artificially segregated communities of practice. <BR>
Furthermore, the symposium will focus on striking examples, where <BR>
artists and humanities researchers make an impact within the natural <BR>
sciences. By bringing together network scientists and specialists from <BR>
the arts and humanities we strive for a better understanding of <BR>
networks and their visualizations in general.<BR>
<BR>
The overall mission is to bring together pioneer work, leveraging <BR>
previously unused potential by developing the right questions, <BR>
methods, and tools, as well as dealing with problems of information <BR>
accuracy and incompleteness. Running parallel to the NetSci2011 <BR>
conference, the symposium will also provide a unique opportunity to <BR>
mingle with leading researchers and practitioners of complex network <BR>
science, potentially sparking fruitful collaborations.<BR>
<BR>
In addition to keynotes and interdisciplinary discussion, we are <BR>
looking for a number of contributed talks. Selected papers will be <BR>
published in print in a Special Section of Leonardo Journal (MIT <BR>
Press), as well as online in Leonardo Transactions. The symposium is a <BR>
follow up to the first satellite event on “Arts | Humanities | Complex <BR>
Networks" at NetSci2010 in Boston. The 2010 abstracts, papers and <BR>
videos are available at http://artshumanities.netsci2010.net.<BR>
