NetSci 2020 Computer Science Track - Call for papers

This year, NetSci 2020 will feature a track on Computer Science (https://netsci2020.netscisociety.net/calls-papers/) which is dedicated to original unpublished works in the areas of network models, algorithms, and applications. We welcome papers on algorithmic and application topics related to networks and graph mining. Accepted papers will be published in a major Computer Science Proceeding series.

Topics include but are not limited to:

* Networks Analysis
* Social Recommender Systems
* Fairness, Trustworthiness and Transparency in Social Media
* Influence, viral marketing and information propagation
* Sampling, experiments, and evaluation in social networks
* User activity modelling and exploitation
* Interpretable models of individual and social behaviour
* Network models and algorithms
* Large-scale graph analysis
* Deep learning and graph embeddings
* Centrality, Community detection and Link prediction
* Probabilistic, temporal and spatial networks
* Multilayer networks

We also welcome submissions from biological, ecological and financial networks to study collective and individual behaviours of new phenomena.

Important Dates:
Deadline for submission: March 6, 2020 (23:59 CET)
Notification to authors: April 20, 2020

Submission format:
Submissions must represent new and original work. Concurrent submissions, that is, papers under review to other conferences or journals, are not allowed. However, submissions that are available online or have been previously presented orally or as posters with no formal proceedings, are allowed.
The Computer Science track accepts two types of submissions, regular papers and posters. During submission you will be asked to indicate your preference for one of these options.

Papers
Papers must be submitted in PDF in A4 or letter paper format using 11pt fonts, at least 1inch margins. Submissions should not exceed 12 pages including any diagrams or appendices, plus up to 3 additional pages of references.
The PDF files must have all non-standard fonts embedded. Submissions must be self-contained and in English. After uploading your submission, please verify the copy stored on the submission site properly. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines, or do not view or print properly, may be rejected without review. Upon request of the authors, the paper can be considered for oral/poster presentation if not accepted for full paper publication in proceedings.

Posters
Posters must be submitted in PDF in A4 or letter paper format using 11pt fonts, at least 1inch margins. Submissions should not exceed 5 pages including any diagrams or appendices, plus up to 1 additional page of references.
The PDF files must have all non-standard fonts embedded. Submissions must be self-contained and in English.

Review Process
Each paper will be reviewed by at least three PC members. The acceptance decisions will take into account paper novelty, technical depth, elegance, practical or theoretical impact, and presentation.

Reproducibility
The algorithms, resources and methods used within a paper should be described as completely as possible. Authors may reference supplementary material, including detailed descriptions, test datasets or code. However, this information is not part of the submission proper, and will be read only at the discretion of the reviewers. Wherever appropriate, the authors are encouraged to use publicly available test collections and state-of-the-art baselines. Please consider sharing your intermediate/final experimental results and code with the research community.

Publication and Presentation
We are currently in the process of negotiating publication with some of the most relevant publishers in the field.
