Networks and Complex Systems Talk
March 23

Wells Library 001
"Network Workbench: Current and future development at the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center" will be presented by Micah Linnemeier & the NWB Team, Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center, Indiana University, Bloomington.
Abstract:
The presentation will discuss the various projects of the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center, demonstrating recent developments in the Network Workbench tool, as well as describing some of our future work: the EpiC and SciPolicy cyberinfrastructure projects. Network Workbench helps network scientists process, analyze, and visualize network data. It is highly-extensible, allowing users to contribute their own algorithms to the tool, which are able to interact seemlessly with existing Network Workbench functionality. This flexibility is made possible by the CIShell cyberinfrastructure framework, which is the foundation of our upcoming cyberinfrastructure tools as well. New functionality in Network Workbench includes a collection of algorithms for handling weighted networks, and support for scientometrics analysis and processing. The upcoming EpiC (short for Epidemics Cyberinfrastructure) project aims to create a tool to aid in the modeling, analysis, and visualization of epidemics data. The EpiC project is also developing a community website to facilitate the sharing of datasets in the epidemics community. SciPolicy will expand the scientometrics functionality in Network Workbench into a separate full-fledged tool, making it easy for science policy makers to visualize and understand large sets of scientometrics data.
