P-graph Meeting, Esztergom, Hungary, Sept. 2-3, 2018

General Information

P-graph Meeting will take place at the St Adalbert Conference Center in the historic town Esztergom, Hungary on September 2nd and 3rd, 2018.

The meeting is supported by the Pázmány Péter Catholic University.

The meeting is not public, participation is only by invitation.

Purpose

The purpose of the event is to answer the following questions.

  • How can P-graph framework contribute to the solution of unsolved crucial problems of our time including sustainability?
  • What theoretical problems prevent further important applications?
  • How should the existing P-graph tools and software be improved for more general and wider range of applications?
  • How can the publicity of the framework be improved?
  • How can the necessary financial background be generated?
  • How can we set up a community behind the framework?

Program structure

The meeting is organized in 9 sequential sessions during the two days. The form of each session is round-table discussion that starts with one or more presentations. Each session has a moderator and few panel members. It is supposed that the moderator opens his/her session with a short presentation.

Each participant is invited to give a presentation or presentations. If you plan to give a presentation, please send us the title with a short abstract of at most 50 words by August 20, 2018. Please note, the participants of the meeting are familiar with the theory and applications of P-graph framework, no detailed introduction is needed in the presentations.

P-graph Workshop, Balatonfüred, Hungary, Jan. 22-25, 2015.

With the support of the National Coordinating Center for Infocommunciations, the Faculty of Information Technology organised a workshop titled "Continuous Improvement and Development of P-Graph as a Powerful PNS tool", on 22-25 January, 2015 at Hotel Silver Resort, Balatonfüred, Hungary.

The main objectives of this workshop were to share the development of P-Graph application in different research group, to identify the limitation of P-Graph tool that available at this moment, to suggest the future development of P-Graph and PNS tools and to improve the teaching/training materials for P-Graph.
