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.

(2)Intelligent Methods for Optimization of Communication Networks (IMOCN)
Track Chairs: Krzysztof Walkowiak, Wroc�aw University of Technology Massimo Tornatore, Politecnico di Milano
Recent developments in communications and networking technologies have reached unprecedented level, however still many new challenges and 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 (NFV) trigger the need to deploy new intelligent methods to optimize the network resources. Among the most vital optimization goals for communication networks of various types, the following must be enumerated: OPEX costs, CAPEX costs, energy efficiency, scalability, delay, survivability, security.
