Satellite Meeting at Netsci 2015 
Zaragoza, Spain @ World Trade Center Zaragoza (WTCZ)
June 2nd, 2015 

Network Science has been very successful in providing simplified statistical mechanical descriptions of large complex systems. Topology, in particular computational and applied topology, has found large use in computer graphics, robotics, biology and chemistry. This is due to its capacity to produce informative summaries of the global properties of a system starting from local information.

These two fields are beginning to have fruitful and very promising interactions in spite of differing languages and domains of applications. 

The aim of this workshop is to bring together leading experts in network science and computational topology to share their latest results and problems.

Particular attention will be devoted to the following topics:
  1. Empirical characterization and analysis of statistical properties of static and dynamical simplicial complexes obtained from social, technological and biological systems.
  2. Extension of network-theoretic concepts to simplicial complexes.
  3. Generative and null models for observed complexes.
  4. Stochastic topology.
  5. Topological characterization of dynamical processes defined on networks and simplicial complexes
  6. Topological properties of network embedding into metric or pseudo-metric spaces.
  7. Topological properties of geometric representations of networks.
