3rd Workshop on Complex Networks

Melbourne, Florida, USA

March 7-9, 2012

Call for Papers/Abstracts
This international workshop on complex networks (CompleNet 2012) 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Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished papers/abstracts on their research in complex networks.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):

• • 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 Epidemics

• • Rumor Spreading

• • Community Structure in Networks

• • Link Analysis and Ranking

• • Geometry in Complex Networks

• • Shocks and Bursts

• • Network Evolution

• • Networks as Frameworks

• • Networks in Arts and Humanities

• • Medical and Brain Networks

• • Synchronization in Networks

Publication
Original works 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 three referees. Note that double blind means that contributions should be submitted without the author names on the actual paper/abstract.

Instructions for Submission
Submit your work 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 Springer website for more details). Abstracts length should not exceed 3 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/abstracts should be submitted electronically: EasyChair

In order to conform with the double-blind process we ask authors to submit the papers without author information on the actual contribution.

Call for Posters
We communicate about the opportunity to submit a poster contribution to CompleNet 2012.  The contributions should be described in an abstract submission using the EasyChairsystem but indicating in the poster submission in their title which should be POSTER: <TITLE>
