                        CALL FOR PAPERS

Network Science for Complex and Advanced Networks (NetSCAN)

        October 12 - 14, 2009 - Saint Petersburg - Russia
                http://netscan.netmode.ntua.gr/
-------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE OF NetSCAN
----------------
Network Science has emerged as a self-contained 
field of study devoted to the modeling and analysis of
complex networks in various and diverse 
application scenarios. Telecommunications, social, biological
and economic networks, among others, exhibit 
common structures and properties that can be uniformly studied.
Network Science offers a common analysis platform 
that allows drawing connections and mappings between
different research areas and transferring 
knowledge, experience and techniques among them.

The objective of this workshop is to present 
theoretical advances and practical applications in the field
of complex and evolving networks with imminent 
implications for telecommunications networks. The workshop
will be highly interested in efficient 
methodologies, frameworks and approaches inspired by other network
disciplines, such as social and biological 
networks, for solving efficiently problems appearing in
telecommunications networks and vice-versa.

This workshop aspires to provide a forum to share 
experience, propose new ideas and promote discussion
and collaboration in the field of Network Science 
in general and specifically in the subject of evolving
complex networks that are closely related to next 
generation communications networks.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
------------------
- Complex/evolving networks
- Interweaved telecommunications-social networks
- Applications of communications networks and social networks
- Topology characterization and inference
- Novel network topologies/architectures
- Resilience and fault-tolerant networks
- Self-organizing networks
- Self-optimized autonomic networks
- Network control
- Trust & privacy establishment in complex/evolving networks
- Bio-inspired networks
- Distributed network computation
- Distributed network optimization
- Simulation and modeling tools for networks
- Performance assessment criteria and  methodologies


IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
Paper submission deadline (EXTENDED): June 29
Notification of acceptance: July 20
Camera-ready due: August 15


PAPER SUBMISSIONS
-----------------
Authors are encouraged to submit full papers 
describing original, complete research, not currently under
review by another conference or journal. Accepted 
papers will appear in the conference proceedings, and published
in IEEE Explore. Papers should be submitted 
electronically via the EDAS system in pdf format, not to exceed 6 pages,
