General Information

Cnet 2011 is the first  workshop at ITC  on   complex network theory  and its application to communication engineering. The concept is  arising from random graph theory and statistical physics and constitutes a very important, rapidly growing branch of modern teletraffic theory.
 
The workshop will   cover  all aspects of modeling, analysis,  and control of complex infrastructures ranging from purely theoretical achievements to practical applications regarding the design of next generation networks.
 
The objective is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners working in different disciplines to present  innovative theoretical results and  to illustrate recent development regarding modeling and analysis tools to detect complex structures  nd to control them in a decentralized or self-organized manner. Fresh ideas will be exchanged and  open problems and new directions will be discussed.
 
The workshop is co-located with the 23rd International Teletraffic Congress (ITC 2011).
 

Topics

Cnet 2011 solicits novel unpublished material on modeling, analysis and control of complex networks  including (but not limited to) the following   topics:

  • Modeling and Analysis of Communication Infrastructures
    •  analysis of random graph models and multiplicative stochastic processes
    • percolation properties of equilibrium and growing networks
    • characterization, inference and evolution of topologies
    • robustness and vulnerability of network infrastructures
    • influence and  epidemic spreading in complex  networks
    • investigation of scalability properties
    • algebraic and graph-theoretical partitioning techniques and spectral optimization of modularity concepts
    • formation  of communities  and their algorithmic detection
  • Control of Complex Networks
    • emergence properties of real networks
    • control methods and algorithms for complex networks
    • synchronization in  complex networks
    • signaling and distributed control protocols
  •  Inference  and Design Algorithms for NGNs
    •  inference of complex network properties in deployed infrastructures
    • structural inference and  analysis of the  user behavior in social networks
    • immunization strategies for NGNs
    • tools supporting analysis, inference and   prediction of complex networks
