From biological systems to computer science, from technical to informational networks, and from economic to social systems, Complex Networks are becoming pervasive in dozens of applications. This global phenomenon has led various scientific areas to focus their efforts on analyzing the structure of Complex Networks and how they operate. Each discipline has contributed its own techniques and perspectives, in particular, computer science and applied mathematics have introduced new computational tools and techniques to efficiently discover and exploit the most relevant properties of Complex Networks.

The primary goal of the one-day CACN Workshop is to bring together researchers from different scientific communities related to the computational aspects of Complex Networks, in order to stimulate new interactions among them. Another key part of the workshop is the poster session, open to both young and senior researchers, providing an opportunity to present their work, share insights, and foster further collaboration across diverse fields.
