Call for papers (SNAM’12)
The First International Workshop on Social Network Analysis and Mining (SNAM’12)
15 - 18 December, 2012, Nanjing, China. In conjuction with ADMA 2012.
Background
Social network related research has attracted more and more scientist and researchers recently, thanks to the prevalence of the online social websites and instant messaging systems as well as the availability of a variety of large-scale offline social network systems. These social network systems are usually characterized by the complex network structures and rich accompanying contextual information. Researchers are increasingly interested in addressing a wide range of challenges residing in these disparate social network systems, including identifying common static topological properties and dynamic properties during the formation and evolution of these social networks, and how contextual information can help in analyzing the pertaining social networks. These issues have important implications on community discovery, anomaly detection, trend prediction and can enhance applications in multiple domains such as information retrieval, recommendation systems, security and so on. Analyzing and mining the information underneath the social network will benefit not only the information providers but also the information consumers.
Goals
This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in this area to share their perspectives, identify the challenges and opportunities, and discuss future research/application directions through invited talks and oral/poster presentations. Both theoretical and experimental submissions are encouraged. The interesting topics include knowledge discovery and data mining in social network, social network modeling, multi-agent based social network simulation, complex generic network analysis and other related studies that can bring inspirations or be directly applied to social network analysis.
Topics of Interest
Papers should elaborate on data mining methods, issues associated to data preparation and pattern interpretation, both for conventional data (usage logs, query logs, document collections) and for multimedia data (pictures and their annotations, multi-channel usage data). Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
•Communities discovery and analysis in large scale online and offline social networks;
•Personalization for search and for social interaction;
•Recommendations for product purchase, information acquisition and establishment of social relations;
•Data protection inside communities;
•Misbehavior detection in communities;
•Web mining algorithms for clickstreams, documents and search streams;
•Preparing data for web mining;
•Pattern presentation for end-users and experts;
•Evolution of patterns in the Web;
•Evolution of communities in the Web;
•Dynamics and evolution patterns of social networks, trend prediction;
•Contextual social network analysis;
•Temporal analysis on social networks topologies;
•Search algorithms on social networks;
•Multi-agent based social network modeling and analysis;
•Application of social network analysis;
•Anomaly detection in social network evolution;
•Role identification and relation analysis in social network;
•Collective social network integration and analysis;
•Mobile social networks
•Social network analysis and mining for life science (health) applications
•Crowdsourcing in social networks
We invite papers solving these problems using all kinds of methods, such as statistical methods, machine learning, graphical models, graph mining methods, matrix factorization, optimization, information visualization methods.
