The overarching goal of the Workshop on Adaptive Network Dynamics is to identify opportunities, challenges, and collaborations that provide the framework for a proposal to establish a national funded Center for Adaptive Network Dynamics (CANDy) that catalyzes new and transformative research in this area. To accomplish this goal, we have invited a small interdisciplinary group of elite scientists and engineers whose research focuses on or could benefit from advances in adaptive network dynamics.

The workshop is broken into 4 complementary sessions, on neurological, biological, ecological, and technological systems. Each session will consist of one 30-minute overview talk which frames the topic. This overview session will be followed by three or four 15-minute high level case studies. A 30-minute discussion session is scheduled at the end of each topical session, designed to explore themes and challenges arising in the session. Cross-cutting breakout sessions are scheduled after the completion of all topical sessions. Each breakout group will be tasked with a question or challenge drawn from themes that arise during the earlier sessions, and will report back to the group before conclusion of the meeting.
