Network science has become an important and growing field in today’s society as many sectors using information technology, wireless communications, big data, and the Internet of Things are formed by a large number of interacting components and underpinned with self-organizing principles. The need to understand algorithms underlying complex networks, large-scale structures, and the dynamics governing them is imperative. In this Special Issue we invite authors to submit high-quality papers from both theoretical/mathematical and practical points of view addressing algorithm-related problems arising from complex networks. Some of the topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Algorithms for random structure

Combinatorial algorithms

Complex network analysis

Network visualization

Community detection algorithms

Web analytics

Artificial intelligence

Sensor networks

Social network analysis

Biological network analysis

Algorithms for wireless networks

Simulation for complex networks

Network synchronization algorithms

Distributed algorithms

Optimization algorithms

*** Instructions for submission ***

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 papers will be 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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1000 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.
