Dear Colleagues,

We are glad to announce the forthcoming workshop "Transportation Networks in Nature and Technology"

that will take place on June 24th 2010 - ISC-PIF, Paris, France.

The theme of the workshop revolves around the properties of transportation networks found in natural systems and man-made infrastructures. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers at the forefront of research activity across disciplines, focusing on the recent developments which have made large amounts of data available, and on the specificities of those networks.

There will be talks about the following topics: - urban street patterns and urban area transportation - foraging networks in animals - optimality and constraints in transportation networks - long distance air and maritime transportation - spatial and planar networks

The following speakers have confirmed their participation: Marc Barthélemy Michael Gastner Vito Latora Mark Fricker Arnaud Banos Stéphane Douady

Registration is free but mandatory, as the workshop attendance is limited. Details on registration and contributed talks can be found on http://iscpif.fr/tnnt2010 Please register before June 1st.
