The event will consist of presentations on a variety of topics including (but not limited to):

•Computational Social Science
•Multi-Level Systems
•Social Network Analysis
•Human Mobility and Dynamics
•Smart Cities and Urban Networks
•Behavioral and Social Influence
•Online Social Networks and Big Data Analysis
•Non-Equilibrium Social Sciences
•Complexity in Biological Systems
•Information Processing
•Urban Modelling
•Network Dynamics
•Epidemics and Disease Contagion Process
•Information Spreading in Social Media
•Network Evolution
•Network Controllability and Observability
•Prediction of Shocks and Bursts of Information
•Multiplex Networks
•Internet of Things (IoT)
•Social Network of Sensors (SNoS)

Paper Submission

Manuscripts should be prepared according to the IEEE A4 double column format. The papers should have a maximum of 6 pages. Templates are available at: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Submission should be done electronically using the EasyChair system.
