Complex Network Modeling: Theory and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of information technology, the study of complex networks has become increasingly important and attracted researchers in different fields. Complex network theory, by correlating disorganized information, allows people to quantify and predict the real-world systems accurately. Although a great deal of research has been conducted on complex networks to date, it is still under-researched for various reasons, including the rapid development of science and technology and the explosion of big data. This Special Issue aims to investigate the theory of complex networks, modelling by use of complex networks, and the application of complex networks to multidisciplinary fields.

Submissions of manuscripts on complex network modeling, structure and function analysis, percolation theory; modelling, structural and functional analysis of complex networks; dynamical analysis on complex networks; network control, control and stability of multi-intelligent systems; biological networks, systems biology, biodynamic systems; network analysis of social, economic and technological networks; basic theory and applications of cyber security; complex networks and big data analysis and computation; the intersection of complex systems with other disciplines and their applications, etc. are welcome.

The Special Issue will bring together contributions from researchers in nonlinear dynamics, statistical physics, systems science, computer science, social psychology, communication, and other scientific fields. Papers describing the theoretical studies of principles, as well as new experimental results, are expected.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
