MoN16 2017: Sixteenth Mathematics of Networks meeting– University of Sussex

The 16th Mathematics of Networks meeting (MoN16) was be held at the University of Sussex, on Tuesday 12th September 2017 hosted by the Informatics Department. Thanks to Luc Berthouze, George Parisis, Ian Wakeman for acting as local hosts for MoN16. MoN16 was sponsored by Moogsoft. The theme of this meeting was control and management of networks.

About Mathematics of Networks

MoN is an informal series of meetings that has now been running since 2003. The series encourages interdisciplinary communication in networking research. It is an excellent venue for presenting new ideas or gaining a wider audience for established research. Presentations on any aspect of networking are welcomed, particularly if the techniques or conclusions are applicable in other networking disciplines. Attendance is free of charge.

Information and slides from previous meetings are available.
