MoN10: Tenth Mathematics of Networks meeting – Loughborough University

The Tenth Mathematics of Networks meeting was held on Friday 16th September 2011 at Loughborough University- Thanks to Iain Phillips for acting as host on this occasion. This meeting had the theme “Modelling Network Traffic and Internet Architecture”. Thank you to Loughborough Computer Science department for sponsoring this meeting. If you wish to advertise MoN10 in your department you can download a flyer.

If you would like to present at a future MoN please email your abstract to mailto:keith.briggs_at_bt_dot_com or richard@richardclegg.org.

This informal series of meetings gives researchers a forum to present new work which uses mathematics to investigate networks. The meetings encourage interdisciplinary communications and talks have been from many fields including computer networks, road networks, economic networks and biological networks.

If you would like to attend then please email mailto:keith.briggs_at_bt_dot_com or richard@richardclegg.org. To receive updates on this meeting or to hear about future meetings in the series, please join the mailing list.

Travelling to Loughborough University

Directions to Loughborough are here.

An interactive campus map can be found here and a printable version here (PDF).

We will hold the workshop in the Bridgeman Centre (room XX019).

If you travel by rail, the campus can be reached by walking (approximately 30 minutes), taxi (ask for Bridgeman on the Loughborough campus) or bus (take shuttle bus Kinchbus Number 7 from the station and get off at the Student’s Union, the first stop after the bus enters the main campus).

If you drive then car park number 9 is closest, ask for directions at the Gatehouse.
