Topic:
In modern systems the classical modeling paradigm using static graphs
may be restrictive or oversimplifying, as the interactions among the
elementary system units usually change over time in a highly dynamic
manner. For example, friendships are added and removed over time in a
social network and links in a communication network may change
dynamically, either according to a specific known pattern (satellites
following a trajectory) or in an unpredictable manner (mobile ad hoc
networks). The common characteristic in all these application areas is
that the system structure, i.e. graph topology, is subject to discrete
changes over time. In such dynamically changing graphs the notion of
vertex adjacency needs to be revisited and various graph concepts, e.g.
reachability and connectedness, now crucially depend on the exact
temporal ordering of the edges' presence.

A temporal graph is a graph that changes over time. Assuming discrete
time and a fixed set V of vertices, a temporal graph can be viewed as a
discrete sequence G1, G2, ... of static graphs, each with vertex set V.
Many notions and algorithms from the static case can be naturally
transferred in a meaningful way to their temporal counterpart, while in
other cases new approaches are needed to define the appropriate temporal
notions. In particular, some problems become radically different and
substantially more difficult when the time dimension is additionally
taken into account.

Presentations are given by invitation only. Everyone is welcome to
register and attend!
