About NetSciCom
Network Science models the structure and dynamics of a wide variety of large-scale complex networks, including Internet connectivity, the WWW, peer-to-peer networks, and online social networks. Of particular relevance to the INFOCOM community, the design of efficient large-scale communication networks such as the Internet requires researchers to understand the interdependency between the underlying physical network and the information and social networks that it intends to support. This effort will require intimate knowledge of the emergent network properties, phase transitions, and dynamics of the component networks, as well as new research into the interaction between networks. A deeper understanding of such interdependency can only be achieved by closer interaction between network scientists, communication network designers, and social and behavioral scientists.


The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum where this diverse group of researchers can come together and exchange ideas that will lead to insights into the design of robust, efficient and complex networks of the future.

Call for papers
We solicit papers addressing the fundamental concepts and applications of network science, particularly as it intersects with the design of communication networks. We welcome theoretical approaches and data-driven approaches, as well as position papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


· Modelling, design and analysis of complex and interdependent networks
· Information diffusion and knowledge transfer in networks, propagation studies, routing, traffic modelling
· Algorithms for static, time-varying, and dynamic communication networks
· Network robustness, phase transitions, security, privacy, trust in networks
· Economic aspects, incentives, marketing

Important Dates:
- Submission deadline: January 10th, 2017
- Acceptance deadline: February 22nd, 2017
- Camera ready: March 12th, 2017


Submission Details
Papers should contain original material, i.e., that has not been previously published or currently submitted elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE Communications Society author guidelines. All submissions will be handled electronically. The accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE INFOCOM 2017 workshop proceedings and appear in IEEE Xplore.

Use the standard IEEE Transactions templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats found at: http://www.ieee.org/go/conferencepublishing/templates. If the paper is typeset in LaTeX, please use an unmodified version of the LaTeX template IEEEtran.cls version 1.8, and use the preamble: \documentclass[10pt, conference, letterpaper]{IEEEtran}

Prospective authors should submit their papers through EDAS: https://edas.info/chair.php?c=23040
