CALL FOR PAPER:
Arts, Humanities, and Complex Networks =97 2nd Leonardo satellite =
symposium at NetSci2011

We are pleased to invite you to Arts, Humanities, and Complex Networks =97=
 2nd Leonardo satellite symposium at NetSci 2011 taking place at the =
Ludwig Museum =96 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 =93Arts | Humanities | Complex Networks" at =
NetSci2010 in Boston. The 2010 abstracts, papers and videos are =
available athttp://artshumanities.netsci2010.net.
