Scope: In past ten years, modern societies developed enormous communication and social networks. New characterization tools of complex networks provide possibilities for information retrieval in social networks, communication, economy, gene, protein and other networks. The interdisciplinary approaches based on complex networks and Markov chains allow to obtain advanced results in such diverse fields as physics, computer science and bioinformatics. The school will present lectures of world leading experts in these fields.

Topics: Scale-free networks; Markov chains and ranking algorithms; Data mining methods; Google matrix analysis; Information retrieval and search engines; Temporal Web analysis; Big data analysis for Web, Wikipedia, genomics and proteomics; Reconstruction of biological networks from gene expression data; Networks in economics.
