<BR>
Arts, Humanities, and Complex Networks — 2nd Leonardo satellite<BR>
symposium at NetSci2011<BR>
<BR>
<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.<BR>
<BR>
The 2010 abstracts, papers and<BR>
videos are available at http://artshumanities.netsci2010.net.<BR>
