in conjunction with
26th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA 2012)
http://www.aina-conference.org/2012/

Fukuoka Institute of Technology (FIT), Fukuoka, Japan

Aim and Scope

Complex communication systems are characterised by the presence of intricate interactions between their heterogeneous parts, and an overall behaviour which can not be easily explain by the properties of these individual components.

For such systems, it is therefore particularly interesting to focus on how information flows between these parts, in terms of dynamical and statistical properties.

Whether this flow has to be optimised or controlled, understanding its structure and dynamics is crucial. For many systems, the security of this information flow, or the level of synchronisation between entities, also need to be considered.

These questions cover a number of problems, from data transfer in cloud computing and in high-performance computing, to information diffusion in mobile ad-hoc networks.

The aim of this workshop is to give an overview of current knowledge on complex information flows, and to consider translational aspects between multidisciplinary research areas. Open issues and research challenges will be discussed, so as to provide a vision, and possible solutions, for the future of the field.
