Tracks

—————————–

Oral and poster presenters will be exempted from the conference fee (one person per presentation / poster).

NetSci X’2016 welcomes submissions to the Proceedings Track or Abstract Track. Submissions to the Proceedings Track may be accepted for oral presentation and publication in the conference proceedings (Springer LNCS). Submissions to the Abstract Track may be accepted for oral presentation at the conference. Alternatively, submissions to both Tracks may be accepted to a joint Poster Session. Only previously unpublished, original submissions will be accepted by the Proceedings Track.

Description

—————————–

Network science is an emerging discipline concerned with the study of fundamental properties of networks and their models as well as their applications in domains ranging from biology and physics to computer science, from financial markets to cultural integration, and from social media to infectious diseases.

NetSci X extends the popular NetSci conference series (http://www.netscisociety.net/conferences) to provide an additional forum for a growing community of academics and practitioners working on formal, computational, and substantive aspects of complex networks. The conference will be highly interdisciplinary, spanning the boundaries of traditional disciplines.

Both theoretical and applied papers are of interest. Specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Computational Network Science

Mathematical Network Science

Applications of Network Science

Behavioral & Social Influence

Community Structure in Networks

Network Science and Epidemics

Network Science and Mobility

Network Science in Biological Systems

Network Science in Technology

Network Science and Ecological Networks

Emergence in Complex Networks

Geometry in Complex Networks

Impact and Success Prediction

Information Spreading in Social Media

Interacting Social Networks

Link Analysis and Ranking

Modeling Human Behavior in Complex Networks

Models and Simulation of Complex Networks

Multilayer Networks

Network Controllability and Observability

Network Evolution

Networks as Frameworks

Phase Transitions in Complex Networks

Rumor Spreading

Search in Complex Networks

Shocks and Bursts in Social Networks

Structural Network Properties and Analysis

Synchronization in Networks

Instructions for Submissions

———————–

All papers and abstracts should be submitted electronically through the conference

web site http://netsci-x.net/ in PDF format. The website includes detailed

information about the submission process.

Submissions may be invited for a joint poster session of the Abstract and Proceedings track. These submissions will not be included in the Proceedings, but can be presented at the conference.

Publication in the Proceedings Track

—————————–

Original papers in the above-mentioned and other related areas will be considered for publications in the Proceedings Track. Submissions will be fully refereed and will undergo a single-blind peer-review process. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three referees. Accepted papers submitted to the Proceedings Track will be published in the conference proceedings provided an author will present it at the conference. The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series. Note that Springer will require that authors sign a copyright agreement, so that previously published research should not be submitted to the Proceedings Track.

Submitted full papers should follow the Springer LNCS format (please

visit their website for more details).

Papers should not exceed 14 pages in this format. Some works may be accepted as short papers and shall be limited to 8 pages maximum.
