CALL
FOR PAPERS |
|
|
It
is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the special session on
Dynamics
of Real-World Social Networks that is
held as a part of the 1st
International Conference on Computational Collective Intelligence -
Semantic Web, Social Networks & Multiagent Systems organized in
cooperation with: Wroclaw University of Technology (Poland), Swinburne
University of Technology (Australia) and National Taiwan University of
Science and Technology (Taiwan). This special session is to offer an opportunity to exchange ideas, opinions and experiences, as well as stimulate new solutions within the intersection of Social Networks and Computer Science fields. Various aspects of dynamic changes in the structure and properties of technology-driven social networks will be of special importance. The scope of the session covers theoretical and practical aspects of dynamics in real-world social structures viewed as complex networked systems.
Our aim is to investigate various possibilities and applications of modeling the evolution of complex social structures emerging in computer networks' environment. Influence and impact of dynamic social networks on the performance, service quality and functional properties of information systems are also of our interest. Original, interdisciplinary, innovative, breakthrough, frontier and application-oriented papers are welcome. |

The topics include (but are not limited to) the following areas: Models and methods for dynamic network analysis Networks emerging from Internet services and portals: e-mail, p2p, blogs, Friendster, LinkedIn, ... Networks within Web-based publishing systems - YouTube, Flickr, ... Nature inspired (esp. physics-inspired) methods for dynamic network analysis Change detection and pattern recognition in social networks Semantic overlay networks Evolution and stability of social structures Models for social network emergence and growth Individual and group evolution Phases and predictions in social network evolution Applications of dynamic models Epidemics and spread of disease-like phenomena in social networks Dynamics of information and innovations spreading Temporal dependencies and patterns in recommender networks Dynamics of social network sites and internet-based social networks Consensus and opinion formation networks Agent-based simulations of social networks |

Authors
are invited to electronically submit their paper (using the ICCCI submission
system and chosing the Dynamics
of Real-World Social Networks
special session from the list) written in
English, of up to
12 single spaced pages (regular
papers) or 8 pages (short papers),
presenting the results of original research or
innovative applications relevant to the session topics.
All paper
submissions will be done electronically, as indicated in the instructions on the
conference web site (http://isccci.org/iccci-09/).
All papers will be peer reviewed by at least two reviewers for guaranteeing the high
quality. The papers accepted for this session will be published in the ICCCI conference proceedings as a bound volume by Springer-Verlag (the format is defined at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html ) in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. Referees will be asked to nominate papers for a Best Paper award to be announced at the conference. All papers, but particularly those nominated for the Best Paper competition, will be considered for publication in an expanded form in planned special issues in prestigious ISI/SCI indexed international journals (pending). |
