Physical Networks Workshop @PhysNet23: NetSci23 workshop. July 11th afternoon, Vienna
Welcome to PhysNet23, the 1st workshop on Physical Networks
University of Vienna, Universitätsring 1, 1010 Wien, Austria
Tuesday, July 11th 2023 from 14:00 to 18:00
Physical Networks: an emerging topic in Network Science
The concept of physical networks aims to understand complex systems subjected to physical contraints, such as volume exclusion or repulsive forces, that shape their networked organization. Systems like neurons, fiber networks, cells cytoskeleton or mycorrhizal network architectures are, in fact, composed by links and nodes that are physical objects that cannot overlap with each other.
