Dear SOCNETers,

We kindly invite abstracts to a session on “Modeling Network Dynamics” 
at the 2018 Sunbelt conference from 26 June to 1 July in Utrecht.

Session Abstract: Important insights into social networks can be 
obtained with the help of longitudinal observation designs. Such designs 
can be of a varied nature. Panel data is the structure used 
traditionally for self-reported networks; regular time series and 
time-stamped data can be obtained from official or automatic records; 
but this does not exhaust the types of longitudinal network designs. 
Corresponding to these differences in data collection, a variety of 
longitudinal methods of analysis have been developed, such as 
continuous-time actor-oriented and tieoriented models for panel and time 
series data, network autoregressive models for time series at regular 
intervals, and network event models for data with a fine-grained time 
resolution. Some of these methods are based on actor-oriented models, 
others on tie-oriented models. This session will be open to 
methodological as well as applied presentations about models for network 
dynamics as long as they are relevant for empirical social science.

Session Organizers: Christoph Stadtfeld (ETH Zürich), Tom Snijders 
(University of Groningen), and James Hollway (Graduate Institute Geneva)
