Conference on advances in social networks analysis and mining, Kaohsiung, Taiwan
In recent years, social network research has advanced significantly. The development of sophisticated techniques for social network analysis and mining (SNAM) has been highly influenced by online social Web sites, email logs and instant messaging systems, which are widely analysed using graph theory and machine learning techniques.
Users perceive the internet increasingly as a social medium that fosters interaction among people, sharing of experiences and knowledge, group activities, community formation and evolution. This has led to a rising prominence of SNAM in academia, politics, homeland security and business. This follows the pattern of known entities that have evolved into networks in which actors are increasingly dependent on their structural embedding.
The event will be an interdisciplinary venue bringing together practitioners and researchers from a variety of SNAM fields to promote collaboration and the exchange of ideas and practices. It is intended to address important aspects with a specific focus on the emerging trends and industry needs associated with social networking analysis and mining.For further information, please click: http://asonam2011.im.nuk.edu.tw/(opens in new window)
