DESCRIPTION:The exponential random graph is widely used in the statistical
  analysis of network data. It is a Markov random field model\, and suffers
  from the problem that the likelihood is unavailable for all but trivially
  small networks. \nThis talk will present two approaches\; one simulation 
 based\, the other deterministic\, which aim to overcome this difficulty.
