Witnessing a decade of explosive growth, researchers in this field unveiled principles of networked behavior in a wide range of fields, from the evolution of the Internet, to networks of friendship, disease transmission, ecological interactions and economic transactions. The economy is a vast and complex system of links, where network approaches can become powerful tools for competitive advantage. The aim of this international conference is to bring together applied network researchers and practitioners to discuss experiences in applying network science to problems in organizational restructuring, political lobbying and corruption, marketing, and finance. Keynote lecture: Albert-László Barabási: Network Science - From the Web to Economics details here: http://www.ceu.hu/cns/circuits Free for all to participate.
