The Jacob T. Schwartz International School for Scientific Research starts a new summer school series on Computational Complex Systems The 2010 edition addresses PhD students and young researchers to the forefront of research activity on Social Networks.
Recognized authorities in the field will give formal lectures tailoring these for an interdisciplinary audience.
Participants will also have the opportunity to present the results of their research during a poster session.
As a whole, the planned summer school will allow participants to be exposed to cutting edge results in one of the most challenging research area, while at the same time enjoying the relaxing atmosphere of one of the most beautiful italian islands.
Participants will be arranged in a comfortable hotel at very special rates. The conference room (in the same hotel) is air-conditioned and equipped with all conference materials. Special areas are reserved to students for the afternoon coursework and study.
