Symposium Overview
The symposium brings together leading experts from universities, industry, and government to explore the state of the art and define a future roadmap in network science. The themes of this year's symposium will explore the role that complex network perspectives and techniques play in autonomy and artificial intelligence. In order to provide an interactive environment and promote strong interaction among the attendees, the event will be limited to a small group of invited attendees.
The symposium will take place on Tuesday, May 20th - Wednesday, May 21st, 2025 at the MIT Endicott House.
Symposium Highlights
As part of the two-day technical program this year, topics of interest will include:
- Complex system design and optimization
- Collective and coordinated behavior
- Multi-agent systems
- Social dynamics and influences
- Network experimentation and observational studies
- Physics-, knowledge-informed models and learning
- Explainable, transparent, robust graph learning
- Recent advances in generative AI and foundation models
- Various applications including scaled autonomy, resilient infrastructures and systems, misinformation on social media, cyber defense, bio/material design, climate change
