Description
-----------
The 5th international workshop CompleNet 2014 aims at
bringing together researchers working on areas related to complex networks.
In the past two decades scientific research has witnessed a remarkable increase
on studies in this field. Applied to problems that span from biology to
computer sciences, from economics to social sciences, complex networks are
becoming increasingly pervasive in many fields of science.
It is this interdisciplinary nature of the complex networks approach that
the workshop is addressing.

Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished papers/abstracts
on their research in complex networks. Both theoretical and applied papers
are of interest. Specific topics of interest are (but not limited to):

Applications of Network Science
Behavioral & Social Influence
Community Structure in Networks
Complex Networks in Technology
Complex Networks and Epidemics
Complex Networks and Mobility
Complex Networks in Biological Systems
Complex networks in Statistical Mechanics
Emergence in Complex Networks
Geometry in Complex Networks
Interacting Social Networks
Information Spreading in Social Media,
Link Analysis and Ranking
Modeling Human Behavior in Complex Networks
Models of Complex Networks
Network Evolution
Networks as Frameworks
Rumor Spreading
Search in Complex Networks
Shocks and Bursts
Social Networks
Structural Network Properties and Analysis
Synchronization in Networks

Publication
-----------
Original papers/abstracts in the above-mentioned and other related areas
will be considered. Each submitted paper/abstract will be fully refereed
and undergo a double-blind review process by at least two referees.
Accepted papers (not abstracts) of registered authors will be published
in the workshop proceedings to be published by Springer on the
"Studies in Computational Intelligence" Series.

Accepted abstracts of registered authors will be presented at the conference
but their abstract itself will not be included in the Springer book.

Instructions for Submissions
----------------------------
Submit your paper/abstract electronically in PDF format.
Neither hardcopy nor fax submissions will be accepted.
Submissions should be printable on a standard printer on common paper formats
such as A4 or letter.

Submitted papers/abstracts should follow the Springer format (please visit
website for more details).

Abstracts length should not exceed 2 pages. Papers should not exceed 12 pages
in this format. Some works may be accepted as short papers and shall be limited
to 8 pages maximum.

All papers should be submitted electronically through the conference
