re: http://www.nd.edu/~netsci/conference.html I didn't have any idea what I would find, and it's impressive. Network node science seems to be developing as a comprehensive interdisciplinary research and visualization method for networks (i.e. both observed and theoretical systems of all kinds). Of course, not the least part for me is that virtually anything you can diagram as a network of nodes with relations, is an aspect of a real world system that developed by growth and maturation processes that are even harder to diagram, but a great source of questions for what one might represent as the nodes and connections.... There are a couple Santa Fe people there too, Aaron Clauset, Jennifer Dunne. Day one had lots of interest, especially since I knew almost nothing about this little developing branch of systems theory. The best offering I think was an open source network property visualization software that includes timeline feature so you can better see how the relationships between clusters evolve. I'm sure it has limitations, but a real nice contribution. http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/socialaction/
