Description
The 3rd international workshop on complex networks (CompleNet 2012) aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working on areas related to complex networks. In the past two decades we have been witnessing an exponential increase on the number of publications in this field. From biological systems to computer science, from economic to social systems, complex networks are becoming pervasive in many fields of science. It is this interdisciplinary nature of complex networks that this workshop aims at 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Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished papers/abstracts on their research in complex networks.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):

Models of Complex Networks
Complex Networks and Mobility
Structural Network Properties and Analysis
Complex Network in Technology
Complex Networks in Biological Systems
Social Networks
Search in Complex Networks
Emergence in Complex Networks
Complex Networks and Epidemics
Rumor Spreading
Community Structure in Networks
Link Analysis and Ranking
Geometry in Complex Networks
Shocks and Bursts
Network Evolution
Networks as Frameworks
Synchronization in Networks
Applications of Network Science

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-Verlag 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-Verlag 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).
