SIMPLEX 2010: 2nd Annual Workshop on Simplifying Complex Networks for
Practitioners
21st June 2010, Genoa, Italy
http://www.simplexconf.net
Co-located with IEEE ICDCS 2010
THEME
----------
Network Science, sometimes also called "complex networks science", has
recently attracted much
attention from the scientific community, mainly due to the almost
ubiquitous presence of complex
networks in real-world systems. Examples of complex networks are found
in living organisms, in
engineering systems, as well as in social networks. Most of the
real-world systems have the required
degree of complexity to be called "complex systems". Complexity may have
to do with the intricate
dynamics of the interacting components, with the non-trivial properties
of the underlying network
topology, or with the sheer size of the system itself.
Despite the numerous workshops and conferences related to network
science, it is still a set of
loosely interacting communities. Those communities would benefit from
better interactions.
Researchers in network science can be categorized according to the
theoretical school from which
they come, e.g. statistical physics, game theory, information theory,
distributed algorithms. Each
school tackles a very particular aspect of complex systems, like
statistical interactions between
components, or the computation of the equilibrium of a particular
system. The assumptions made by
each school to apply their theoretical tools make it very difficult for
practitioners to apply their
results to practical situations.
Simplex aims at triggering different computer science communities (e.g.
communication networks,
distributed systems) to propose research areas and topics that should be
tackled from the network
science perspective. We also seek contributions from network science
that are relevant to solve
practical computer science problems. Two types of contributions are
foreseen from prospective
authors. The first type would consist of use-cases of theoretical tools
and methods to solve practical
problems. Such contributions should be as usable as possible by
practitioners in the related field. The
second type of contributions would come from practitioners that have
identified a problem that may
be solved by tools from network sciences. The point of such
contributions is to make the network
sciences community aware of the importance of a high-impact problem, and
to suggest means by
which the problem may be solved by the network sciences community. Both
contributions should
stimulate interaction between theoreticians and practitioners, and also
have high potential impact in
either field.
Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
. Design of wired/wireless networks
. Representing and analyzing dynamic networks
. Network robustness to failures and attacks
. Mining of large scale networks
. Forwarding/routing for opportunistic network
. Mobility/connectivity modelling
. Anti-spam and Sybil attacks
**The workshop will have the best student paper award. The winner will
be awarded an internship opportunity
to work in Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, Berlin.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
------------------------------
--------
All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality,
significance, technical
soundness, and clarity of expression. The proceedings of the conference
and the workshops will be
published in CDs by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Accepted papers
will also be nominated to
present at Netsci conference (http://netsci2010.net) if the authors are
interested.
All paper submissions should follow the IEEE 8.5" x 11" Two-Column
Format. Each submission can
have 10 pages .
