CALL FOR PAPERS

In the last decade, there has been an explosive growth of research on
complex real-world networks, a theme that is becoming pervasive in
many disciplines, ranging from mathematics and computer science to the
social and biological sciences. Typical complex networks include
internet topologies, web graphs, peer-to-peer networks, social
networks, biological networks, and economic networks, to name a few.
Empirical studies have shown that these networks, though different in
nature, all display substantial non-trivial topological features and,
interestingly, share a number of significant properties. A lot of
research efforts have thus been made towards a deep understanding of
complex networks.

While the study of complex networks is broad, the goal of CCNet 2011
is to provide another step in integrating the vast multi-disciplinary
approaches in network science, with a special attention to
communication networks. This workshop aims to be a forum for exchange
of ideas and collaboration among researchers with a focus on:

(1)    Complex networks that ``are? communication networks. Complex
networks of interest are **technological networks** (Internet, Web,
P2P, etc.) and **online social networks**.

(2)    The studies of complex networks that may have an impact on the
analysis, design, and operation of communication networks. For
example, as the topology of social networks affects the spread of
information and disease, and the topology of the power grid affects
the robustness and stability of power transmission, by studying the
structures and dynamics of such networks we may obtain properties
useful to designing scalable and robust communication networks.

The workshop solicits previously unpublished papers. We especially
welcome those original ideas that could be risky yet potential to
advance the state of the art. The topics of interest lie at the
intersection of Complex Network Science and Communication Networks,
including the following but not limited to:

- Algorithms, Analysis, and Modeling
- Communication Protocols
- Network Architectures
- Community Formation and Detection
- Network Structure and Dynamics
- Robustness and Vulnerability
- Search, Indexing, and Ranking
- Sharing, Collaboration, Security, and Privacy
- Performance Studies and Case Studies
- Software Tools
