Call for papers:
Special Issue of AI Communications Journal on
"Network Analysis in Natural Sciences and Engineering"
Guest Editors
Susanne Hoche, Andreas Nuernberger, Peter Flach
Network analysis and modelling address a wide spectrum of techniques for
studying domains consisting of individuals that are linked together into
complex networks. Networks refer to artificial and natural systems like
communication networks, social networks and biological networks.
They constitute a very active area of research in a variety of
scientific disciplines,
including Physics, Biology, Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics.
More recently, the study of artificial networks has gained increased
attention in
diverse areas of application such as genetic regulatory networks, social
networks,
bibliographic networks and the world wide web. Both graph theory and
techniques
developed for the analysis of social networks provide a substantial
background for
studying the structure, dynamics and evolution of such complex
biological and
artificial networks. They allow us to study aspects such as fault
tolerance, adaptability,
complexity, information flow, community structures and propagation
patterns.
With this special issue of AI Communications we wish to explore the
state of the
art in theoretical and applied network analysis and modelling in the
context of
diverse disciplines. We are especially interested in submissions that
discuss relations
and similarities between natural and artificial networks.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Mining and learning from network data
* Prediction of structural network properties
* Network dynamics
* Network topology
* Evolution of networks
* Community structures
* Topological motifs
* Pattern mining
* Social network analysis in human and animal societies
* Genetic regulatory and protein interaction networks
* Robustness issues
* Complexity issues
* Adaptability in biological networks
* Model selection and sampling in networks
* Massive graph mining
* Information networks
* Applications of network theory
AI Communications Journal:
