Description
-----------
The 5th international workshop CompleNet 2014 aims at
bringing together researchers working on areas related to complex networks.
In the past two decades scientific research has witnessed a remarkable increase
on studies in this field. Applied to problems that span from biology to
computer sciences, from economics to social sciences, complex networks are
becoming increasingly pervasive in many fields of science.
It is this interdisciplinary nature of the complex networks approach that
the workshop is 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Authors are encouraged to submit previously unpublished papers/abstracts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):
Applications of Network Science
Behavioral & Social Influence
Community Structure in Networks
Complex Networks in Technology
Complex Networks and Epidemics
Complex Networks and Mobility
Complex Networks in Biological Systems
Complex networks in Statistical Mechanics
Emergence in Complex Networks
Geometry in Complex Networks
Interacting Social Networks
Information Spreading in Social Media,
Link Analysis and Ranking
Modeling Human Behavior in Complex Networks
Models of Complex Networks
Network Evolution
Networks as Frameworks
Rumor Spreading
Search in Complex Networks
Shocks and Bursts
Social Networks
Structural Network Properties and Analysis
Synchronization in Networks
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 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 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).
Abstracts length should not exceed 2 pages. Papers should not exceed 12 pages
in this format. Some works may be accepted as short papers and shall be limited

ASNA 13
The 10th Conference on Applications of Social Network Analysis (ASNA 13) taking place at the University of Zurich, August 29th-30th 2013 (Workshops on August 27th and 28th) is approaching. Registration is still open. Please visit www.asna.ch
Even if you are not a paper giver, you may wish to attend the sessions and key notes. The program is online.
Before the conference, we offer two days of SNA training in workshops given by some of the most outstanding specialists in the field. There are still some open spots in several workshops, thus please have a look at the workshop list at the end of this email, or on www.asna.ch.
Also, we are extremely happy to welcome Prof. James Fowler for a keynote speech. You may attend the key note speech even without being registered to the conference.
We would be very happy if you would join us for the 10 years' celebration!
For the organizing committee
Manuel
Keynote presentation on August 30th, 2013
James Fowler, Professor of Medical Genetics and Political Science at the University of California, San Diego
Big Data and Big Experiments with Millions of People
James Fowler will discuss several observational and experimental studies we have been doing using Twitter and Facebook data. This work uses new methods to (1) get voters to the polls on a massive scale, (2) predict which pieces of information will go viral, (3) turn "likes" into a measure of political ideology, (4) test a 40 year old theory on the strength of weak ties using employment data, and (5) measure the transmission of emotion online using rainfall.
Workshops on August 27th and 28th, 2013
ñ Introduction to SNA by Thomas Friemel, UZurich
ñ Advanced Applications of SNA by Filip Agneessens, UGroningen
ñ SIENA by Johan Koskinen, UOxford
ñ visone by Ulrik Brandes, UKonstanz
ñ ERGM by Skyler Cranmer, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
ñ DNA by Philip Leifeld, EAWAG / UKonstanz

Faculty Position at USC
Assistant, Associate or Full Professor Position with a Focus on Systems Science Applied to Public Health & Disease Prevention
University of Southern California
The Institute for Prevention Research (IPR) and the Department of Preventive Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California invite applications for a tenure track faculty position. IPR includes transdisciplinary faculty who conduct research on disease prevention with particular emphasis on understanding complex levels of disease risk behaviors of youth and families and designing appropriate prevention strategies based on risk analysis. IPR is well known for the conduct of large community, neighborhood, and school based field trials.
We are seeking assistant to full professor candidate(s) with an interdisciplinary background in applying a systems science approach to the understanding and prevention of disease and disease risk behaviors. Academic rank will depend on experience, funding, and evidence of research leadership. At the full professor rank, the successful candidate will be considered a USC transformative hire, and is expected to transform the way prevention is conceived and apply novel methods to design prevention programs. Evidence of discipline cross-over or integration is preferred, particularly engineering, computer science, and the social and behavioral sciences. The candidate will be encouraged to develop a systems science core at USC that involves collaboration among existing methodologists and systems scientists from across USC who are interested in prevention.
In addition to an active research program, IPR and the department offer degrees at the bachelors, masters and doctoral level. Applicants must have a commitment and evidence of the ability to provide high quality teaching in the classroom as well as mentoring at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
The successful applicant will be recruited as a faculty member in the Department of Preventive Medicine - Health Behavior Research Division. The department includes an outstanding, collegial faculty in health behavior research, epidemiology, environmental health sciences, and biostatistics. Minimum requirements include a PhD, MD or Dr.PH with demonstration of extramural research funding. USC is an equal opportunity employer and encourages minority and women candidates to apply for this position. USC offers superb health benefits and matching retirement funds. Applicants please submit curriculum vitae and statements of research and teaching interests. Letters of reference and representative publications or preprints will be requested from finalists. Review of applicants will begin immediately and continue until the candidate is selected.
Please send statement and CV in one PDF file to Dr. Tom Valente tvalente@usc.edu and Ryan Wilkerson wilkerso@usc.edu.
Interested applicants should submit material by October 30, 2013.

Call for Papers - Special issue in the journal Societies on Cross-Racial and Cross Ethnic Personal and Group Relationships
Call of papers.
Deadline is December 31, 2013.
Special issue in the journal Societies on Cross-Racial and Cross Ethnic Personal and Group Relationships.
What makes people develop heterogeneous networks across race and ethnicity? What do people gain from these heterogeneous networks?
In the face of an increasingly complex society, people seek out and form relations with those whom they feel safe and comfortable and perceive to be similar. As a result, racial and ethnic groups form their own distinct social networks that are separated and isolated from others, limiting information and awareness and the ability to develop consensus to address community problems and promote mobility. Homogenous networks also limit the ability of affluent groups to appreciate and address the social barriers of less fortunate groups. They are thus more likely to reinforce negative views of minorities, and the poor. Frequently, inter-racial/ethnic division is the norm rather than the exception. In fact, very few people have access and/or opportunity to develop cross-racial, or ethnic relationships due to the long lasting high levels of racial and ethnic segregation. Nevertheless, we know that Asians and Latin Americans have high rates of intermarriage, which signifies the emergence of networks that cross ethnicity and or racial lines. This special issue provides a window into the social mechanisms that foster cross ethnic and cross-racial and ethnic networks.
