We are pleased to invite you to Arts, Humanities, and Complex Networks ---

2nd Leonardo satellite symposium at NetSci 2011 taking place at the

*Ludwig Museum -- Museum of Contemporary Art, Budapest, *

on Tuesday, *June 7, 2011.*

*Abstract:*

We are pleased to announce the second Leonardo satellite symposium at 
NetSci2011 on
Arts, Humanities, and Complex Networks. The aim of the symposium is to 
foster
cross-disciplinary research on complex systems within or with the help 
of arts and humanities.

The symposium will highlight arts and humanities as an interesting 
source of data, where

the combined experience of arts, humanities research, and natural 
science makes a huge

difference in overcoming the limitations of artificially segregated 
communities of practice.

Furthermore, the symposium will focus on striking examples, where 
artists and humanities

researchers make an impact within the natural sciences. By bringing 
together network

scientists and specialists from the arts and humanities we strive for a 
better understanding

of networks and their visualizations in general.

The overall mission is to bring together pioneer work, leveraging 
previously unused potential

by developing the right questions, methods, and tools, as well as 
dealing with problems of

information accuracy and incompleteness. Running parallel to the 
NetSci2011 conference,

the symposium will also provide a unique opportunity to mingle with 
leading researchers and

practitioners of complex network science, potentially sparking fruitful 
collaborations.

In addition to keynotes and interdisciplinary discussion, we are looking 
for a number of

contributed talks. Selected papers will be published in print in a 
Special Section of Leonardo

Journal (MIT Press), as well as online in Leonardo Transactions. The 
symposium is a follow up
to the first satellite event on "Arts | Humanities | Complex Networks" 
at NetSci2010 in Boston.
The 2010 abstracts, papers and videos are available at: 
http://artshumanities.netsci2010.net

*About NetSci:*

The International School and Conference on Network Science (NetSci 2011) 
will bring

together leading researchers and practitioners in network science --- 
analysts, modeling

experts, and visualization specialists with graduate students from many 
different research

areas for interdisciplinary communication and collaboration. The 
conference focuses

on novel directions in networks research within the biological and 
environmental

sciences, computer and information sciences, social sciences, finance 
and business.

NetSci 2011 will take place in June 6-10, 2011 in Budapest. NetSci 2011 
is co-organized by

a consortium of Hungarian universities and the Hungarian Academy of 
Sciences, coordinated

by the Center for Network Science at Central European University 
(cns at ceu.hu <mailto:cns at ceu.hu>).
