Dear Colleagues,

CALL FOR PAPERS

Algorithms
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/complex_network

Submission Deadline: 15 September 2020

*********
Manuscripts can be submitted continuously until the deadline. Once a paper is submitted, the review process will start immediately. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal. All accepted papers will be listed together in an online special issue published in the journal website.

*********
Network science has become an important and growing field in today’s society as many sectors using information technology, wireless communications, big data, and the Internet of Things are formed by a large number of interacting components and underpinned with self-organizing principles. The need to understand algorithms underlying complex networks, large-scale structures, and the dynamics governing them is imperative. In this Special Issue we invite authors to submit high-quality papers from both theoretical/mathematical and practical points of view addressing algorithm-related problems arising from complex networks. Some of the topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Algorithms for random structure
Combinatorial algorithms
Complex network analysis
Network visualization
Community detection algorithms
Web analytics
Artificial intelligence
Sensor networks
Social network analysis
Biological network analysis
Algorithms for wireless networks
Simulation for complex networks
Network synchronization algorithms
Distributed algorithms
Optimization algorithms

Guest Editors
Joanna Józefowska, Poznan University of Technology, Poznan, Poland
Yilun Shang, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK


*** Instructions for submission ***
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
