CSoNet 2019 (http://optnetsci.cise.ufl.edu/CSoNet/?page_id=108) seeks for submission describing significant and innovative research contributions to emerging yet important computational problems with a focus on the fundamental background, theoretical technology development, and real-world applications associated with big data network analysis, modelling, and deep learning. The conference solicits theoretical, methodological, empirical, and experimental research reporting original and unpublished results on computational big data and social networks.

There are two submission types in LNCS format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0): (1) Full Paper (up to 12 pages), (2) Extended Abstract (up to 2 pages)

Topics includes but is not limited to:
- Real-world Complex Networks Analysis
- Trends and Pattern Analysis in Social Networks
- Representation Learning on Networks
- Big Data Analysis
- Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Real-world Social Platforms
- Network Structure Analysis and Dynamics Optimization
- Data Network Design and Architecture

Authors who are interested in the above topics can submit their unpublished work to CSoNet 2019. A clear indication of the motivation and comparison with prior related work should be presented. Simultaneous submission to a journal or another conference with refereed proceedings is not allowed.

Submissions must adhere to the following guidelines:
- Papers must be formatted using the LNCS format (ftp://ftp.springernature.com/cs-proceeding/llncs/llncs2e.zip) without altering margins or the font point.
- The maximum length of a regular paper (including references) is 12 pages; 2 pages for an extended abstract.
- Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix to be read by the program committee members at their discretion.
- Submissions are open on EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csonet2019).
