  • WAW 2023 18th Workshop on Algorithms and Models for the Web Graph
    May , 15-19 2023, Toronto, Canada

    The aim of the 18th Workshop on Algorithms and Models for the Web Graph (WAW 2023) is to further the understanding of graphs that arise from the Web and various user activities on the Web, and stimulate the development of high-performance algorithms and applications that exploit these graphs. The workshop will also welcome the researchers who are working on graph-theoretic and algorithmic aspects of citation networks, social networks, biological networks, molecular networks, and the Internet.

  • WAW 2023 Conference
    May , 23-26, 2023, Toronto, Canada

    The World Wide Web has become part of our everyday life, and information retrieval and data mining on the Web are now of enormous practical interest. The algorithms supporting these activities combine the view of the Web as a text repository and as a graph, induced in various ways by links among pages, hosts and users.

  • Quantum Computing Thematic Track in conjuction with the Internationa Conference on Computational Science
    July, 3-5, 2023, Prague, Czech Republic

    Quantum computing is a new paradigm that exploits the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics to solve problems in various fields of science that are beyond the possibilities of classical computing infrastructures. Despite the increasing activity in both theoretical research and hardware implementations, reaching the state of useful quantum supremacy is still an open question. This workshop aims to provide a forum for computational scientists, software developers, computer scientists, physicists and quantum hardware providers to understand and discuss research on current problems in quantum informatics.

  • The Social Networks & Complex Systems Workshop
    June, 20-21, 2023, Warsaw, Poland

    he Social Networks & Complex Systems Workshop is a multidisciplinary event that gathers together researchers in the areas of economics, social networks, complex systems and discrete mathematics interested in exploring the intricate dynamics and interconnections that shape economic systems. At the core of this workshop lies the desire to better understand the underlying structures, patterns, and processes that govern social networks and complex systems.
