ARS’15 aims at presenting the most relevant results and the most recent methodological developments in dealing with LARGE NETWORK and BIG DATA.
The workshop also aims to deepen existing scientific cooperation between social network analysts, to establish new cooperation between researchers, and to provide a multi-disciplinary forum for exchange of ideas
Papers of interest including (but not limited to) the following topics are solicited:
- Analysis of Large-Scale Networks
- Structural Large Network Properties
- Community Detection and structure in Large Networks
- Visualization of Large Networks
- Methodological problems in large network studies
- Dynamics and evolution patterns of large networks
- Big data storage, processing and network analysis
- Social network data mining and analytics

Applications in several fields (Telecommunications networks, Collaboration networks, Online Social Networks, Healthcare, etc.) are also strongly encouraged.

For ARS’15, in addition to the usual program of contributed talks, the Workshop will include a selection of keynote talks from prominent researchers.
Building on successes in previous years, ARS’15 will also hold a two-day short course before the Workshop.
