Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Complex networks are ubiquitous in society as well as in biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Great progress has been made since the 1990s, and the emphasis has shifted from the topology of networks to the dynamics on networks. Currently, a lot of research is being performed on adaptive networks in which the dynamics and the topology are interacting. This has important applications in brain research, but also in opinion dynamics, and even in engineering, such as swarming robots or communication networks.
I would like to invite contributions to this Special Volume which explore new developments of dynamics of complex networks and related subjects (such as epidemic spreading, percolation, and swarming).

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
