Arts, Humanities and Complex Networks 2015

This special section highlighting research revolving around networks in culture, networks in art, networks in the humanities, art about networks and research in network visualization concludes with this issue’s selections. The five topical attractors have emerged from our series of symposia that counted with over 50 published contributions. Following this final iteration, the section will continue to offer an ongoing call for contributions, continuing our mission to foster multidisciplinary research on complex networks and systems within or with the help of arts and humanities in support of our flourishing community.

The current section presents selected papers from the sixth Leonardo satellite symposium on “Arts, Humanities and Complex Networks” at NetSci2015, the International School and Conference on Network Science, 2 June 2015, at the World Trade Center Zaragoza (WTCZ) in Spain. Our symposium was co-chaired by Maximilian Schich, Isabel Meirelles and Roger Malina.
