The study of social dynamical structures in communication networks can  
be studied using a variety of methods and approaches. The 2009 edition  
of the Complexity Sciences Winter School aims to provide an overview  
of the interdisciplinary approach to the study of social dynamics and  
communications networks.  The Winter School brings together  
researchers to report on progress in the study of social networks,  
computer networks and multi-agent based social simulation. While  
computer network approaches concern mainly the hardware and software  
design of networks, social network theory permits network analysis and  
employs tools and insights from the social sciences. Multi-agent based  
social simulation provides tools for model design, hypotheses testing  
and validation.
