SIAM Workshop on Network Science 2020 (NS20)
Network science is concerned with the structure and dynamics of graphs (and generalizations of graphs), dynamical processes on such graphs, and the design and analysis algorithms that compute with and on them. The goal of the SIAM Network Science workshop is to promote cross-fertilization and new research among the communities that study and apply networks, both inside and outside SIAM.
NS20 is being held virtually July 9 and 10, 2020 with free registration.
Audience Member Guidelines
- JOIN EARLY. We will start everything on time, so make sure to join the Zoom meeting at least a few minutes ahead of time.
- CONDUCT DURING PRESENTATIONS.
- Please turn your microphone and video off during the talks.
- For Contributed Talks, save your questions until after the presentation.
- For Plenary Talks, you may ask clarifying questions during the talk, but save other questions for after the presentation.
- ASKING QUESTIONS.
- There will be 5 minutes for questions after contributed talks and 10 minutes for questions after the plenaries.
- Indicate that you have a question by using Zoom’s "raise-rand" feature or stating "I have a question" in the chat.
- Chairs will unmute and call on persons with questions one at a time.
- Once called upon to ask a question, turn on your video and use your voice to ask the question.
