[DMANET] Cfp - Special issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics

=============================================================
Call for Papers

Special Issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics:
Applications of Graph Spectra in Computer Science
=============================================================

The spectra of matrices associated with a graph are widely used
to characterize its properties and to extract structural information.
Apart from a natural link to Discrete Mathematics,
Spectral Graph Theory has many applications in other scientific fields
such as complex networks, theoretical physics and quantum mechanics.

In Computer Science, Spectral Graph Theory provides fundamental techniques to
a series of important algorithmic problems such as
the design of interconnection networks, graph partitioning,
load balancing, as well as information retrieval and data mining.

This special issue aims to publish a collection of original work
on applications of graph spectra in Computer Science,
with a special focus on the connection between
traditional spectral graph theory on one side and
theoretical computer science or network analysis on the other side.

The deadline for submission is November 15, 2012.
Authors should submit a cover letter and a manuscript by November 15, 2012
via http://ees.elsevier.com/dam/.
Select the article type "SI: Applications of Graph Spectra" to make sure
that your work is to be considered for this special issue.
Please see Author Instructions on the site if you have not yet
submitted a paper through this web-based system.

Papers will be subject to a strict review process managed by the Guest Editors
and accepted papers will be published online individually, before
print publication.
