International workshop ARS’13
“Networks in space and time: models, data collection and applications”
www.ars13.unisa.it
The fourth biennial ARS workshop will be held on 20-22 June at the Università Roma Tre, Rome, Italy
ARS'13 aims at
• Presenting the most relevant results in Social Network Analysis when data are collected across space and time.
