Description
---
Network science is an emerging discipline concerned with the study of network models in application 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 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.
Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished, original papers on their research in Network Science to the Proceedings Track. NetSciX’2015 also has a parallel Abstract Track that accepts submissions for oral or poster presentation without publication in the proceedings.
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 of Complex Networks
Multilayer Networks
Network Controllability and Observability
Network Evolution
Networks as Frameworks
Rumor Spreading
Search in Complex Networks
Shocks and Bursts in Social Networks
Structural Network Properties and Analysis
Synchronization in Networks
Publication
---
Original papers in the above-mentioned and other related areas will be considered. Each submitted paper will be fully refereed and undergo a single-blind peer-review process by at least three referees. Unlike abstracts submitted to the Abstracts Track, accepted papers submitted to the Proceedings Track will be published in the conference proceedings provided at least one author is registered for the conference. The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series. Note that Springer will require signing a copyright agreement, so that previously published research cannot be submitted to the Proceedings Track, but should rather be submitted to the Abstract Track.
Instructions for Submissions
---
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 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. Some 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.
All papers should be submitted electronically through the conference web site http://netsci-x.net/. The website includes detailed information about the submission process.
