Context
=======
Complex networks analysis have been shown to be useful for gaining
insights in a wide variety of applications domains such as social
interactions, ecology, biological, healthcare, safety and security, and
many more. These applications have motivated the extension of network
models to richer representations and augmented complex network models,
such as feature-rich and higher-order network models. Examples include
multiplex networks, multilayer networks, temporal networks attributed
networks and network on networks.
Machine learning approaches are being extensively used for obtaining
insights into/using these models and for mining knowledge from these
models and for a variety of tasks including node classification and role
identification, link prediction, community detection, anomaly detection
and much more. These tasks are generally required to enable and support
critical decisions and should so be largely trustworthy. XAI approaches
should be adapted to the networked context, and network analysis can
also contribute to devise explainability- oriented features in the
targeted applications areas.
This conference aims to bridge the gap between these areas by exploring
the use of complex network analysis and explainability in the following
featured application areas:
* Complex networks in safety and security
* Biological and ecological networks
* Online Social Networks
Organization
============
The conference will include a set of keynotes and invited talks
grounding the different targeted areas: trustworthy machine learning
approaches, augmented complex networks models with a special focus on
the selected applications fields. The goal is to provide a context to
elaborate models and to define actions towards trustworthy approaches in
this context of analysing augmented complex networks.
These invited talks, to be given by prominent researchers in the
respected areas, should contribute to cross-fertilize ideas to ground
this new research direction. This will be done in the context of a panel
synthesizing different contributions in order to converge on a common
understanding, and to point out interesting research directions in the
targeted field of trustworthy analysis of augmented complex networks.
In order to ease building a community in the targeted area, the
conference will also feature contributed talks. For this, there will be
an open submission and selection process, such that the conference will
provide the opportunity for presenting a selection of contributed works.
Contributions / Submission Guidelines
=====================================
The contributed talks should either present original work in the
targeted area or provide promising directions with respect to work in
progress in the focused area.
Paper submissions (4-6 pages) are solicited according to the following
topic list:
* Trustworthy machine learning
* Explainability
* Interpretability
* Certification and machine learning
* User-centered approaches
* Feature construction for explainability
* Feature selection for explainability
* Feature-rich networks
* Attributed networks
* Temporal networks
* Dynamic networks
* Multiplex networks
* Multi-Layer networks

* Online Social Networks
All submitted papers must
* be written in English;
* contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses;
* be formatted according to the CEUR-WS-Template (use the 2-column
style):

We intend to publish the proceedings of the conference in the CEUR
Workshop Proceedings (indexed in Scopus and DBLP). Furthermore, we will
also consider publishing a selection of extended contributed papers in a
special issue of an international journal.
