CIKM09 Workshop: Complex Networks in Information & Knowledge Management (CNIKM)
Shi Zhou, Dell Zhang, and I are organizing this workshop in CIKM2009
We are in a connected age: real-world entities often interconnect with each other through explicit or implicit relationships to form a complex network, such as information networks, social networks, economic networks, technological networks, and biological networks. They exhibit interesting statistical characteristics such as small-world and scale-free. The past decade has witnessed an explosive growth of research on various complex networks. How can we analyse, manage and mine information in large-scale complex networks effectively and efficiently? This gives researchers in database, information retrieval and knowledge management great challenges as well as opportunities. In line with CIKM’s tradition of promoting interdisciplinary research, this workshop aims to have a major impact on future research by bringing together researchers across both computer science and the emerging scientific discipline of network science to foster discussion and exchange ideas.
