1. As of December 13, 2012
Internet, Interdisciplinarity & Innovation
THE 1st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON INTERNET SCIENCE
Brussels, April 10-11, 2013
�e Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts (KVAB)
�e 1st international conference on Internet Science, will be organized from April 10 to 11 in Brussels, under the aegis
of the European Commission, by the EINS project, the FP7 European Network of Excellence in Internet Science
(http://www.internet-science.eu), with the support of KVAB.
�is highly multidisciplinary conference combines Computer Science, Sociology, Art, Mathematics, Physics, Complex
systems analysis, Psychology, Economics, Law, Political Science, Epistemology and other relevant disciplines.
It will be a unique venue fostering dialogue among scholars and practitioners belonging to these disciplines.
It will also provide the EINS Network of Excellence with an
opportunity to interact with external stakeholders, detail project
objectives and methodological approach, and showcase its first
results.
�e event will start on April 9 at 18:30 with a welcome reception,
and will end on April 11 in the early a�ernoon.
A Call for Papers (CfP) has been launched, inviting papers shedding
light on Internet Science from all involved disciplines and in
particular papers crossing rigid disciplines boundaries, describing
original research and innovative ideas.
�e conference is open to any organizations and individuals interested in the event topic. Only limited registration
fees are requested to attend it in order that they are not an obstacle to registration, thanks to the financial
support of the European Commission, made available through the EINS FP7 project. �ese fees cover in

n March 15, 2013: Camera-ready version of papers
Submission guidelines
Both research papers and extended abstracts can be submitted (please visit www.internet-science.eu for detailed
submission guidelines):
n Research papers should present new results and original work that has not been previously published.
Both long and short papers will be accepted. Long papers can be up to 10 pages in length, in two-column 10pt
format and should present significant theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented
contributions to research and/or practice. Short papers can be up to 4 pages in length, in two-column 10pt
format and should describe brief and focused research contributions that are noteworthy.
n Extended abstracts should describe either thought-provoking ideas with the potential for interesting discussions
at the conference, or works-in-progress for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting feedback on early-stage work,
or fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. Extended abstracts can be up to 6 pages
Review, publication and presentation
Each submission will be refereed by at least 3 TPC members, to cover both the research background of each submission
as well as the necessary interdisciplinary aspects. Review criteria for all types of submissions include significance,
originality, presentation, validity, and the ability to stimulate discussion, with different emphases depending on the
submission category to allow for consideration of all relevant works contributing to the advancement of Internet Science.
All accepted papers and extended abstracts will appear in the Conference Proceedings in the same length and format
the submission.
Regardless of the submission format, accepted submissions will be presented in one of three formats:
1) as a 20-minute presentation followed by discussion,
2) during one of the poster presentations and discussion sessions,
3) or as part of a panel discussion.
Research papers and extended abstracts are eligible for presentation in any of the three formats, depending on reviewer
recommendations. Submissions that are thought-provoking and novel will be more appropriate for longer presentation,
while those that are expected to stimulate discussion will be ideal for presentation in smaller groups or as posters.

4. About the EINS Network of Excellence
�e EINS Network of Excellence in Internet Science is supported by the European Commission under its FP7
research-funding programme (ICT �eme). It aims to strengthen scientific and technological excellence by
developing an integrated and interdisciplinary scientific understanding of Internet networks and their co-evolution
with society, by addressing the fragmentation of European research in this area, at geographical and
disciplinary levels.
Its main objective is to enable an open and productive dialogue between
all disciplines exploring Internet systems from any technological or
humanistic perspective, and which in turn are being transformed
by continuous advances in Internet functionality.
�e network brings together thirty-eight research institutions across
Europe that are focusing on network engineering, computation,
complexity, networking, security, mathematics, physics, sociology,
game theory, economics, political sciences, humanities, and law,
as well as other relevant social and life sciences. It is coordinated
by Prof. Leandros Tassiulas from CERTH, Greece.
�e network�s main deliverable will be a durable shaping and structuring of the way Internet research is carried
out, by reaching a critical mass of expertise needed to provide European leadership in this area, providing
concrete incentives for multidisciplinary collaborations, and spreading excellence beyond the partnership.
