PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS=======================================
SCOPE:
Network
Science is a newly emerging discipline with applications in a
variety
of domains, such as, Communication Networks, Power Grid
Networks,
Transportation Networks, Social Networks, Biological Networks
and
Economics. Designing complex communication networks of the
future
needs a deep understanding of the interplay between the
physical, the
communication, and the social networks involved. An
understanding of
such interdependency can only be achieved by
closer interaction between
Network Scientists, Communication
Network Designers, and Social and
Behavioral Scientists. The goal
of this workshop is to a provide a forum
where this diverse group
of researchers can meet and exchange ideas that
will lead to
deeper insights into the design of robust, efficient and
complex
communication networks of the future.
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
The
topics of this workshop lie at the intersection of Network
Science
and Communication Network Design - including Topology
Design and
Analysis, Traffic Modeling, Traffic Routing, Social
Media Analysis:
blogs and friendship networks, Bio-inspired
networks, Internet scale
measurement and analysis of online
communities, Social network analysis
with mobile phone data,
Interdependency between power grid,
communication and
transportation
networks.
