    In commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the celebrated paper by Watts and Strogatz on small-world networks, this event will bring together researchers in complex network science and related areas. Time has come to ask what have been the major contributions of this emerging field to prospect its future and open questions in perspective. To this end, internationally recognized specialists will be invited to explain their current investigations and to discuss the expected progress of their research within the context of the field. The workshop will present as well a maximum of twenty selected contributions compliant with its purpose. An open colloquium session will also be organized where keynote speakers, participants, and committee members will have the opportunity to debate all together on the present situation of complex networks science and its outlook.

    We are pleased to announce the following list of keynote speakers:

    Jordi Bascompte, Spanish Research Council (CSIC), Spain
    Bernd Blasius, University of Oldenburg, Germany
    Víctor Eguíluz, IFISC (CSIC-UIB), Spain
