Analysis of Complex NEtworks

a full-day workshop at ECMLPKDD 2010, Barcelona, Spain

Call for Papers

Many real world data collections and information structures are dynamic and rich in information. Represented as complex networks, a mesh of interconnected information entities, allows to get the most out of them. Analysing complex networks regarding non-trivial aspects such as information propagation, evolution, or community discovery and discovering or even creating new connections requires powerful tools for supporting visualisation, interaction and mining of and with the underlying data. While many graph mining tools have been developed there is a lack of techniques able to tackle real-world networks which are typically multi-dimensional, heterogeneous, and/or dynamic. Furthermore, sophisticated tools supporting the interaction with huge networks are virtually non-existent. Besides refined mining and aggregation methods there is a need for modelling and sophisticated visualisation methods which take the limited amount of information into account a user can process.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together pioneering researchers focussing on the analysis of complex networks, and thus intensify the exchange of ideas between different research communities to foster devising tools for creation, analysis, and visualisation of complex networks. The workshop focusses especially on researchers working on methods for mining, learning and analysis of (dynamic) networks, the representation and semantics of complex networks, and visualisation methods as well as user interface design.

Therefore, contributions to the workshop should focus on, but are not limited to:

Proceedings

Out of the submitted papers, we have selected two extended abstracts and eight full papers. Each of these papers deals with some aspects of the analysis of complex networks. You are welcome to download the full proceedings (13MB) of the ACNE workshop.
