Dear all,

please consider submitting a paper to this year's ARS2015 workshop which has some interesting overlaps with the HNR world. While it does not look like it at first, historians are more than welcome and encouraged to participate. There are still a few places for last minute submissions - if you are interested, please contact Luca de Benedictis (luca.debenedictis@unimc.it) directly and soon since time is tight.

 

ARS'15 aims at presenting the most relevant results and the most recent methodological developments in dealing with Large Networks and Big Data.

ARS'15 consists in ARS'15 International Workshop and ARS'15 Short Course.

ARS'15 International Workshop
