WDN 2010 - International Workshop on Dynamic Networks

WDN 2010: International Workshop on Dynamic Networks

June 4th, 2010, Avignon, France.
In conjunction with WiOpt 2010

Call for Papers

Large-scale networks with complex interaction patterns between
elements are found in abundance in Communication Networks like: social
networks, blog & collaborative networks, WWW, P2P, DTN, Sensors... In
the last decade many research efforts contributed to establishing the
concept of a network science to characterize, model, and analyze
complex networks. Network Science founds applications in a variety of
domains and show a mainstream research topic of interest for
theoretical physicists, epidemiologists, biologist, economists, and
computer scientists.

For the communication networking community there is a strong research
interest in the analysis of the structure and properties of dynamic
networks at several layers: network/communication layers but also at
the social/application layers. Understanding how the interplay of
these different layers of complex networks happens and the potential
mutual effects they may have on each other in a dynamic graph context
is a key challenge.
