CALL FOR PAPERS
The 1st Int'l Workshop on Social Knowledge Discovery and Utilization
SKDU2012
In conjunction with IEEE/ACM ASONAM2012, Istanbul, Turkey,
August 26-29, 2012. (http://www.asonam2012.etu.edu.tr/)
OVERVIEW
Today the emergence of web-based communities and hosted services such as
social networking sites, microbloggings, wikis and folksonomies, brings in
tremendous freedom of Web autonomy and facilitate collaboration and
knowledge sharing between users. Along with the interaction between users
and computers, social cyberspace is rapidly becoming an important part of
our digital experience, ranging from digital textual information to diverse
multimedia forms. These aspects and characteristics constitute of the core
of second generation of Web. Some sorts of on-the-fly experience is learned
and obtained by daily users. This type of experience can, in addition, be
recognized as a particular way to cultivate domain knowledge. One typical
instance is friend-sourcing. Friend-sourcing gathers social information in a
social context, which information can be used to personalize users's
computing experiences, for example to aid question answering for topics
comprehensible only to a few of a user's friends.
A prominent challenge lies in modeling and mining this vast pool of data to
extract, represent and distribute the meaningful knowledge and to utilize
structures and dynamics of the social knowledge, such as emerging social
networks residing in the social media, for better user experience and
satisfaction. This workshop attempts to fill the gap between social
experience and knowledge discovery and utiliztion, encouraging to share
achievements, experiments, and ideas from the perspective of knowledge
discovery and data mining, and to propose a range of strategies and
practices to identify, create, represent, distribute, and enable the
adoption of novel insights and experiences for knowledge utilization.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The main goals of the workshop are: (1) to create a platform to discuss
latest issues, trends, solutions, and cutting-edge research strategies in
knowledge discovery and utilization in context of social cyberspace; (2) to
bring together acdemic researchers and industrial practitioners to discuss
problems, current studies, and solutions on how the knowledge is discovered
and utilized in a socialized environment to facilitate human experience and
satisfaction.
We solicit original and high quality submissions addressing all aspects of
this field. The topics of interest include, but are not be limited to the
following:
- Computational models for social media
- Influence, trust, and privacy
- Search in social networks and social media
- Interoperability among social applications and social media
- Techniques for social-network analysis/mining and for the analysis of social-media phenomena
- Adversarial blogging and counter measures
- Counter-Terror social network analysis
- Social networking security risks
- Social engineering through social networks
- Data privacy in Social Networks
- Secure information sharing in online communities
- Social networking safety
- Security issues in mobile social networking
- Trust-based social networks
- Anonymization of social network datasets
- Link analysis and network structure discovery
- Community detection and evolution
- Blog search and retrieval
- Group interaction, collaboration, and recommendation
- Knowledge discovery (collective wisdom, trend analysis, and topic detection)
- Social aspects of Blogosphere
- Human interface and interaction techniques for social media
PAPER SUBMISSION
