****************************************************** * CompleNet 2009 * * International Workshop on Complex Networks * * * * May 26-27, 2009, Catania, Italy * * * * http://complenet09.diit.unict.it * ****************************************************** Call for Papers =============== This international workshop on complex networks (CompleNET 2009) 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 Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished papers on their research in complex networks. Both theoretical and applied papers are of interest. Specific topics of interest are (but not limited to): * Models of Complex Networks * Structural Network Properties and Analysis * Complex Network in Technology * Complex Networks in Biological Systems * Social Networks * Search in Complex Networks * Emergence in Complex Networks * Complex Networks and Computer Epidemics * Rumor Spreading * Community Structure in Networks * Link Analysis and Ranking Publication ================================ Original papers in the above-mentioned and other related areas will be considered. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a double-blind review process by at least two referees. Accepted papers of registered authors will be published in the conference proceedings to be published by Springer-Verlag as volume of the series of Studies in Computational Intelligence. Paper Submission ================================ Submit your paper 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 should follow the Springer format (please visit website for more details). 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://complenet09.diit.unict.it). Important dates =============== Full paper submission: January 11, 2009 Notification of acceptance: February 3, 2009 Final (camera ready) paper due: February 15, 2009 Workshop: May 26-27, 2009 Steering Committee ================== Giuseppe Mangioni, University of Catania, Italy Ronaldo Menezes, Florida Tech., USA Vincenzo Nicosia, University of Catania, Italy General Chair ================= Giuseppe Mangioni, University of Catania, Italy - gmangioni@diit.unict.it Program Committee Chairs ======================== Santo Fortunato, ISI, Italy - fortunato@isi.it Ronaldo Menezes, Florida Tech., USA - menezes@cs.fit.edu Local Organization Committee ============================ Vincenza Carchiolo, University of Catania, Italia Alessandro Longheu, University of Catania, Italia Michele Malgeri, University of Catania, Italia Giuseppe Mangioni, University of Catania, Italia Vincenzo Nicosia, University of Catania, Italia Program Committee ================= Alex Arenas, Univ.
