Workshop

We organised an Indo-French Workshop on Social Networks on 16th January 2014 in conjunction with a CEFIPRA sponsored workshop on New Avenues for Network models (13-15 January 2014). The joint workshop had three tutorials of three hours each and eighteen seminars of one hour each. Two of the three tutorials were given by the PIs of this project: The tutorial on Competition in social networks was presented by Eitan Altman (INRIA), and the tutorial on Mean Field approximations was presented by Rajesh Sundaresan (IISc). In addition to the three tutorials, there were a total of 8 other speakers and 4 students from France. The remaining 10 speakers were from India. Over a hundred participants attended both workshops.
