ANNOUNCEMENT OF SCHOOL AND WORKSHOP ON
MODELS AND ALGORITHMS FOR THE WEB
MAW 02
Udine (Italy), June 17 - 22, 2002
A Workshop and a School on "Models and Algorithms for the Web" will
be held in Udine (north-eastern part of Italy), in the period June
17 - 22, 2002, under the auspices of the EU projects IST FET ALCOM-FT
(Algorithms and Complexity in Future Technologies) and IST FET COSIN
(Coevolution and Self-organization in Dynamical Networks) and UNESCO.
The aim of the School is to provide researchers (especially young
researchers) in computer science, physics, social sciences and related
fields with a broad and consistent overview of the most important recent
progresses in the area of models and algorithms for the Web. The
subsequent Workshop will be the occasion for the presentation of ongoing
research work in the area.
