CALL FOR PAPERS<br><br>
Network Science for Complex and Advanced Networks (NetSCAN)<br><br>
October 12 - 14, 2009 - Saint
Petersburg - Russia<br>

<br>
SCOPE OF NetSCAN<br>
----------------<br>
Network Science has emerged as a self-contained field of study devoted to
the modeling and analysis of <br>
complex networks in various and diverse application scenarios.
Telecommunications, social, biological <br>
and economic networks, among others, exhibit common structures and
properties that can be uniformly studied. <br>
Network Science offers a common analysis platform that allows drawing
connections and mappings between <br>
different research areas and transferring knowledge, experience and
techniques among them. <br><br>
The objective of this workshop is to present theoretical advances and
practical applications in the field <br>
of complex and evolving networks with imminent implications for
telecommunications networks. The workshop <br>
will be highly interested in efficient methodologies, frameworks and
approaches inspired by other network <br>
disciplines, such as social and biological networks, for solving
efficiently problems appearing in <br>
telecommunications networks and vice-versa.<br><br>
This workshop aspires to provide a forum to share experience, propose new
ideas and promote discussion <br>
and collaboration in the field of Network Science in general and
specifically in the subject of evolving <br>
complex networks that are closely related to next generation
communications networks.<br><br>
<br>
TOPICS OF INTEREST<br>
------------------<br>
- Complex/evolving networks<br>
- Interweaved telecommunications-social networks <br>
- Applications of communications networks and social networks<br>
- Topology characterization and inference<br>
- Novel network topologies/architectures<br>
- Resilience and fault-tolerant networks<br>
- Self-organizing networks<br>
- Self-optimized autonomic networks<br>
- Network control <br>
- Trust & privacy establishment in complex/evolving networks<br>
- Bio-inspired networks<br>
- Distributed network computation<br>
- Distributed network optimization<br>
- Simulation and modeling tools for networks<br>
- Performance assessment criteria and methodologies<br><br>
<br>

Notification of acceptance: July 20<br>
Camera-ready due: August 15<br><br>
<br>
PAPER SUBMISSIONS<br>
-----------------<br>
Authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original,
complete research, not currently under <br>
review by another conference or journal. Accepted papers will appear in
the conference proceedings, and published <br>
