Community Detection at Scale (CDS2027)

Community Detection at Scale (CDS2027) is a workshop on research related to community structure in large networks. This will take place at the Discovery Partners Institute (DPI) in Chicago IL from May 17 to 18, 2026, and is funded by the NSF grant Collaborative Research: OAC Core: Cyber-Infrastructure for Community Detection, Extraction, and Search in Large Networks, CISE/OAC 2402559. We will have contributed and invited talks, a poster session, and software demos of new methods developed by the project. Researchers may request to give a contributed talk or poster through Microsoft CMT on one or more of the following topics: algorithms and software for community detection and community search, high performance computing for these problems, synthetic network generators, and agent-based models for community growth. The grant includes some funding for participant support to (partially) reimburse travel expenses. The deadline for submitting a talk or poster request (through Microsoft CMT) is January 15, 2027, and decisions will be announced by Feb 1, 2027. A proceedings (with short abstracts of at most two pages) will be posted to Zenodo for all talks and posters presented at the conference. Please see this document for more information.
