However\, progress is stymied by sparse interac tions between individuals trained in the disparate network-based approache s that are relevant for granular media (from subjects such as statistical mechanics\, network clustering\, multilayer networks\, algebraic topology\ , and more) and those that are trained in materials physics. From new trai nees to seasoned investigators\, individuals seeking to contribute to this field are required to find and parse a diverse and scattered literature f rom day one. The goal of our focus workshop is to close this gap. Why u se network science? The arrangements of particles and forces in granular m aterials and particulate matter have a complex organization on multiple sp atial scales that range from local structures to mesoscale and system-wide ones. This multiscale organization can affect how a material responds or reconfigures when exposed to external perturbations or loading. The theore tical study of particle-level\, force-chain\, domain\, and bulk properties requires the development and application of appropriate mathematical\, st atistical\, physical\, and computational frameworks. Traditionally\, granu lar materials have been investigated using particulate or continuum models \, each of which tends to be implicitly agnostic to multiscale organizatio n. Recently\, tools from network science have emerged as powerful approach es for probing and characterizing heterogeneous architectures in complex s ystems\, and a diverse set of methods have yielded fascinating insights in to granular materials. Network science offers methods for quantitativel y probing and analyzing large\, interacting systems whose associated netwo rks have heterogeneous patterns that defy explanations using regular or la ttice-like interactions. Because granular materials have heterogeneities o n many length and time scales\, it is challenging to model their material properties and responses. The ability of network science to provide both q ualitative and quantitative descriptions of the organization and dynamics of granular materials is very promising. Our purpose is to bring togeth er physicists\, mathematicians\, and materials scientists who study these problems. The workshop will open with presentations from experimentalists presenting data collected using the newest techniques available in the fie ld. We will then catalyze new uses of these data with talks from experts i n the theory of networks\, the development of tools to characterize networ ks\, the application of network tools to studies of granular materials\, a nd the development of physically-informed network-based models and statist ical techniques to granular media. We will place particular emphasis on ho w networks can be used to quantify heterogeneous organization in granular materials and to understand how these systems evolve when exposed to exter nal perturbations. We seek a crystallization of particularly fundamental o pen questions and hope that participants will leave inspired to explore th e applications of new techniques to new problems. Key questions What are the key characteristics of the spatial and temporal patterns of f orce transmission in granular and other particulate materials? What a re the most appropriate tools from network analysis (and other areas of ma thematics)\, either existing or to be developed\, to describe the dynamics of granular materials? How do we predict which parts of a granular s ystem will fail using these tools\, and how do we design and engineer mate rials with desired properties?
