Call for Papers

Submission Deadline: May 8, 2011 at http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=10395

GENERAL INFORMATION

Cnet 2011 is the first workshop at ITC on complex network theory and its application to

communication engineering. The concept is arising from random graph theory and statistical

physics and constitutes a very important, rapidly growing branch of modern teletraffic theory.

The workshop will cover all aspects of modeling, analysis, and control of complex

infrastructures ranging from purely theoretical achievements to practical applications

regarding the design of next generation networks.

The objective is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners working in different

disciplines to present innovative theoretical results and to illustrate recent development

regarding modeling and analysis tools to detect complex structures nd to control them in

a decentralized or self-organized manner. Fresh ideas will be exchanged and open problems

and new directions will be discussed.

The workshop is co-located with the 23rd International Teletraffic Congress (ITC 2011).

TOPICS

Cnet 2011 solicits novel unpublished material on modeling, analysis and control of complex networks

including (but not limited to) the following topics:

o Modeling and Analysis of Communication Infrastructures

o analysis of random graph models and multiplicative

stochastic processes

o percolation properties of equilibrium and growing networks

o characterization, inference and evolution of topologies

o robustness and vulnerability of network infrastructures

o influence and epidemic spreading in complex networks

o investigation of scalability properties

o algebraic and graph-theoretical partitioning techniques and

spectral optimization of modularity concepts

o formation of communities and their algorithmic detection

o Control of Complex Networks

o emergence properties of real networks

o control methods and algorithms for complex networks

o synchronization in complex networks

o signaling and distributed control protocols

o Inference and Design Algorithms for NGNs

o inference of complex network properties in deployed

infrastructures

o structural inference and analysis of the user behavior in

social networks

o immunization strategies for NGNs

o tools supporting analysis, inference and prediction of

complex networks

SUBMISSIONS

Authors should prepare a PDF version of their paper not exceeding 8 double-column pages in IEEE conference

format with a font size not smaller than 10 points. They should submit the paper electronically

before the deadline via EDAS at URL: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=10395

Notification of acceptance will be send to the authors not later than July 1, 2010. In case of acceptance

the final (Postscript or PDF) version of the full paper is due by July 24, 2010.

All accepted contributions will appear as full papers in the conference proceedings and require a registration

of at least one co-author as workshop participant before the deadline. It is planned to consider

extended versions of the papers for publication in the journal ''Computer Communications''.

REGISTRATION

The registration and payment issues will be managed by the organization of ITC 2011.

The registration deadline of the workshop is set to July 24, 2010.
