2nd Workshop on Complex Networks

2010

 
 

Call for Posters


Luciano da F. Costa  (IFSC-USP), Co-Chair

Francisco A. Rodrigues  (ICMC-USP),   Co-Chairs


We communicate about the opportunity to submit a poster contribution to Complenet 2010.  The contributions should be described in an abstract of 250 to 500 words and be

related to any of the main Complenet topics (please refer to the Complenet 2010 site).    


Every accepted abstract will be presented as a poster in Complenet 2010, and eventually published.  Prospective authors should send the respective abstract in pdf format to Francisco Rodrigues (francisco@ifsc.usp.br) no later than 25 Sept 2010.   The evaluation results should be communicated on 28th Sep 2010.


Call for Papers/Abstracts

This international workshop on complex networks (CompleNet 2010) aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working on areas related to complex networks. In the past two decades we have been witnessing an exponential increase on the number of publications in this field. From biological systems to computer science, from economic to social systems, complex networks are becoming pervasive in many fields of science. It is this interdisciplinary nature of complex networks that this workshop aims at addressing.


Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished papers/abstracts on their research in complex networks. Both theoretical and applied papers are of interest. Specific topics of interest are (but not limited to):


  1. Models of Complex Networks

  2. Structural Network Properties and Analysis

  3. Complex Network in Technology

  4. Complex Networks in Biological Systems

  5. Social Networks

  6. Search in Complex Networks

  7. Emergence in Complex Networks

  8. Complex Networks and Epidemics

  9. Rumor Spreading

  10. Community Structure in Networks

  11. Link Analysis and Ranking

  12. Geometry in Complex Networks

  13. Shocks and Bursts

  14. Network Evolution

  15. Networks as Frameworks

  16. Networks in Arts and Humanities

  17. Synchronization in Networks


Publication

Original papers/abstracts in the above-mentioned and other related areas will be considered. Each submitted paper/abstract will be fully refereed and undergo a double-blind review process by at least two referees. Note that double blind means that contributions should be submitted without the author names on the actual paper/abstract.


Accepted papers/abstracts of registered authors will be published in the workshop post-proceedings to be published by Springer-Verlag on the CCIS (Communications in Computer and Information Science) series.


Authors of abstracts presented at the workshop will be invited to submit a full paper, possibly incorporating the results of the workshop discussion. These will be reviewed according to the refereeing procedures, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop post-proceedings.


Instructions for Submission

Submit your paper/abstract electronically in PDF format. Neither hardcopy nor fax submissions will be accepted. Submissions should be printable on a standard printer on common paper formats such as A4 or letter. Submitted papers/abstracts should follow the Springer format (please visit website for more details). Abstracts length should not exceed two A4 pages. Accepted full papers should not exceed 12 pages in this format.


Some papers may be accepted as short papers and shall be limited to 8 pages maximum.


All papers should be submitted electronically through the conference web site (http://cs.fit.edu/complenet). You can also go directly to the submission website located on this link: EasyChair. In order to conform with the double-blind process we ask authors to submit the papers without author information on the actual contribution.
