CRM Conference on Applications of Graph Spectra in Computer Science
Month: July 2012
Date: July 16--20
Name: CRM Conference on Applications of Graph Spectra in Computer Science
Location: CRM, Barcelona, Spain.
Description
The spectra of matrices associated with a network are widely used to characterize its properties and to extract structural information. Applications of graph spectral methods may be easily found in combinatorial optimization (e.g., Goemans-Williamson MAXCUT algorithm), computer science (e.g., spectral clustering, expander graphs, pattern recognition) or complex networks (e.g., web page ranking, synchronization, epidemic thresholds). The aim of this conference is to bring together the diverse collection of researchers from graph theory, computer science and complex networks, who are interested in the theory and applications of graph spectra to discuss current trends and future directions in this area. The conference is expected to provide cross-fertilization of ideas, create more awareness among disparate groups of researchers and foster an increase in collaborations between theory- and application-oriented studies.
