CALL FOR PAPERS ======================================================================
The Second International Workshop on Complex Information Flows (CIF 2012) (http://www.ispl.jp/cif2012/)
in conjunction with 26th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA 2012) (http://www.aina-conference.org/2012/)
Fukuoka Institute of Technology (FIT), Fukuoka, Japan
======================================================================
* AIM AND SCOPE
Complex communication systems are characterised by the presence of intricate interactions between their heterogeneous parts, and an overall behaviour which can not be easily explain by the properties of these individual components.
For such systems, it is therefore particularly interesting to focus on how information flows between these parts, in terms of dynamical and statistical properties.
Whether this flow has to be optimised or controlled, understanding its structure and dynamics is crucial. For many systems, the security of this information flow, or the level of synchronisation between entities, also need to be considered.
These questions cover a number of problems, from data transfer in cloud computing and in high-performance computing, to information diffusion in mobile ad-hoc networks.
The aim of this workshop is to give an overview of current knowledge on complex information flows, and to consider translational aspects between multidisciplinary research areas. Open issues and research challenges will be discussed, so as to provide a vision, and possible solutions, for the future of the field.
* TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: - Information Flow in Complex Networks - Information Difusion, Dissemination, and Propagation - Epidemic-Style Communication and its Applications - Data-centric Network and its Applications - Stream Processing and its Applications - Mobile Ad-Hoc Networking - Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking - Content Delivery Networking - Sensor Networking - Network Storage and Information Management - Large-Scale Communication Network - Transport Protocol for Information Flows - Flow-level Network Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation - Measurement and Control of Network Flows - Data-Intensive Network Applications - Social Networking and its Applications - Large-Scale Distributed Applications - Cloud Computing for Complex Information Flows - Large-Volume Data Management
