Analyzing the dynamics of information and knowledge landscapes
The main purpose of my STSM in Amsterdam at the eHumanities group was to interact with their researchers on novel ways to visualize science. In that respect, my stay has been very productive, and I would like to thank again my hosts for their kind welcome and their availability. During…
Brief report of the visit of Jan Choloniewski at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS) (March 17-30, 2014) based on a STSM grant. I consider my STSM at NIAS a considerable success. Not a spectacular one but of a vital importance for a…
During the time (March 21 – April 2, 2014) that I spent at the Jozef Stefan Institute, I have analyzed social chat networks, as well as the aggregations of nodes into communities. The common analysis through the graph theory is replaced by the simplicial complexes approach due to its essential…

First I would like to express my warmest thanks to Peter Mutschke, and to my visit co-ordinator Andrea Scharnhorst for their continuous support and the opportunity of this Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM) in the Netherlands in the frame of the KNOWeSCAPE COST Action. My stay in the Netherlands during…
Emergence of complex features in macroscopic systems The emergence of complex behavior from simple interaction is one of the most important scientific puzzles of the 20th and 21st centuries. Sorin Solomon has had an important contribution in this domain by adapting models from statistical physics to a wide variety of…
