SIAM Activity Group on Linear Algebra

This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners in the field to deal with the emerging challenges in processing and mining large-scale networks. Such networks can be directed as well as undirected, they can be labeled or unlabeled, weighted or unweighted, and static or dynamic. Networks of networks are also of interest. Specific scientific topics of interest for this meeting include mining for patterns of interest in networks, efficient algorithms (sequential/parallel, exact/approximation) for analyzing network properties, methods for processing large networks (i.e., Map-Reduce and Giraph based frameworks), use of linear algebra and numerical analysis for mining complex networks, database techniques for processing networks, and fusion of heterogeneous data sources into graphs. Another particular topic of interest is to couple structural properties of networks to the dynamics over networks, e.g., contagions.

The full-day workshop will feature: 2 invited talks, a session to showcase tools and systems individuals have developed in this area, contributed talks, and a short session on open problems and directions for future research. Papers that describe original and ongoing research as well as those that describe systems and tools are solicited.
