DESCRIPTION
The spectra of matrices associated with a network are widely used
to characterize its properties and to extract structural information.
Applications of graph spectral methods may be easily found in
combinatorial optimization (e.g., Goemans-Williamson MAXCUT algorithm),
computer science (e.g., spectral clustering, expander graphs, pattern recognition)
or complex networks (e.g., web page ranking, synchronization, epidemic thresholds).
The aim of this conference is to bring together the diverse collection
of researchers from graph theory, computer science and complex networks,
who are interested in the theory and applications of graph spectra
to discuss current trends and future directions in this area.
The conference is expected to provide cross-fertilization of ideas,
create more awareness among disparate groups of researchers and
foster an increase in collaborations between theory- and application-oriented studies.
For young researchers in particular, this will be an excellent opportunity
to see the full scope of the subject and many interesting directions they can explore.
