CALL FOR PAPERS FOR SPECIAL SECTION IN _NETWORK SCIENCE_ ON


"NETWORKS IN SPACE AND IN TIME: METHODS
 AND APPLICATIONS" 

Social
network research is rapidly evolving toward the inclusion of geography
and time into the social space, accounting for their effect on network
structure and on network dynamics. 

The special section of _NETWORK
SCIENCE_ will publish a range of high quality research papers about the
analysis of spatial-temporal network data and its substantive
applications. The main goal is to present the most relevant results and
the most recent methodological developments in social network research,
when data are collected across space and time. 

Topics of particular
interest include, but are not limited to: 

* Dynamic network
visualization 

* Large networks 

* Longitudinal social networks 

*
Statistical and computational models for spatial-temporal networks 

*
Networks and geography 

* Network data collection 

* Social network
analysis methods for longitudinal data 

* International Networks 

The
special section will be guest-edited by Luca De Benedictis (University
of Macerata, Italy), Maria Prosperina Vitale (University of Salerno,
Italy), and Stanley Wasserman (Indiana University, USA).
