The aim of the 20th Workshop on Modelling and Mining Networks (WAW 2025) is to further the understanding of networks that arise in theoretical as well as applied domains. The goal is also to stimulate the development of high-performance and scalable algorithms that exploit these networks. The workshop welcomes the researchers who are working on graph-theoretic and algorithmic aspects of networks represented as graphs or hypergraphs and other higher order structures.

Submission Guidelines

WAW 2025 invites original research papers and abstracts on all aspects of algorithmic and mathematical research in the areas pertaining to the graph and hypergraph theory and applications. We especially encourage submission of papers that espouse the view of complex data as networks.

Submissions are invited in, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Algorithms: graph and hypergraph algorithms, clustering, collaborative filtering, routing optimization.
• Analysis: structural properties, visualization, patterns, communities, discovery, flow simulation.
• Data Models: graph and hypergraph models, evolution, trust and reputation networks.
• Topics: Web, social networks, transportation networks, economic interactions, communication networks, recommender networks, citation networks, Wikipedia, biological networks, blogs, p2p.
• Applications: web mining, social and business applications, routing & transportation, web search and ranking.
• Theory: properties of random graphs models that are used to model complex networks, higher-order structures, network geometry, temporal networks and dynamics, dynamic processes such as polarization, social learning, contagions.

The papers must be formatted according to Springer LNCS style. The maximum length of papers is at most 15 pages but shorter papers are welcome. Acceptance of papers will be based on the reviews provided by the program committee members. The workshop proceedings will be published as a Springer LNCS volume. Talks associated with proceedings papers will be 30 minutes.

Abstracts are a maximum of one page, may be in any style, and must be pdf files. They should include the title, speakers, and a summary of research. All abstracts related to the conference areas will be evaluated by the program committee. Accepted abstracts will be published on the conference website (but not published in the proceedings). Talks associated with abstracts will be 20 minutes.
