The Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory is pleased to announce its
23rd Annual Conference on

Networks: Structure, Dynamics and  Function

May 12 - 16, 2003,  Hotel La Fonda, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA

Our world is a complex mesh of interacting elements, both natural and man-made. Recent observations suggest that the formation of such complex networks is not random, but rather follows fundamental organizing principles. The 2003 CNLS Annual Conference focuses on the search for underlying principles in the structure, dynamics, and function of complex networks. The conference will facilitate cross-disciplinary interactions by bringing together researchers from a diverse set of fields.  The emphasis will be analysis of real-world data from information networks (internet, www, data networks), biological networks (in proteomics, gene  networks,  metabolic networks), social networks (including epidemiological networks) and infrastructure networks (power grid, transportation networks).
