It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in The Second European
Network Intelligence Conference, ENIC 2015 September 21-22, 2015,
Karlskrona, Sweden http://enic.cse.bth.se/.
We are more and more surrounded by different kinds of networks,
interconnected systems and vast amounts of interrelated data. Various
web collaborative portals, blogs, wikis, video publishing services
(youtube), ecommerce sites (eBay), social networking sites (Facebook)
sensor networks, smart phones users exchanging multimedia as well as IT
systems collaborating with one another in most organisations are good
example of networks that require new adequate analytical methods.
The aim of the annual European Network Intelligence Conference (ENIC) is
to create an open premier forum to exchange knowledge and experience as
well as to discuss recent advances, theories, and techniques related to
both various types of networks and intelligent analytical computational
methods.
Every edition of the conference will focus on only few selected more
specific scientific domains - tracks. The second event will include two
such tracks: Social network and social media analysis, and Intelligent
Methods for Optimization of Communication Networks. The tracks will
bring together the research groups from the specified disciplines, along
with many of the e-commerce companies interested in applications of the
intelligent tools in their products. The track will enable researchers
and practitioners to present their latest research and identify
challenges in recommendation systems. The special interest will be
focused on the design cooperation platform for academia and industry.
Initially, the conference will be led and hosted by the ENGINE Centre
and partnering organisations and substantially supported by the Seventh
Framework Programme, however, we hope to create a wider active ENIC
community for the future
Since ENIC 2015 is sponsored by the ENGINE Project, authors of up to 50
best accepted papers will be registered free of charge; one author per
paper. The ENGINE Centre will cover their participation, proceedings
costs, coffee brakes and banquet but only if they will present in person
their accepted paper during the conference. It does not include travel
and accommodation costs.

opportunities are emerging. Starting from the physical layer with new
approaches of Elastic Optical Network, 5G mobile, MANET and VANET
technologies up to recent ideas in higher network layers including
software defined networks (SDN) and network function virtualization
