CALL FOR PAPERS
II Brazilian Workshop on Social Network Analysis and Mining (BraSNAM
2013)
July 24 and 25, 2013.
Maceió, AL, Brazil
This year, the II Brazilian Workshop on Social Network Analysis and
Mining (BraSNAM 2013) will be held in conjunction with CSBC, providing a
valuable opportunity for multidisciplinary groups to meet and engage in rich
discussions about topics related to social network analysis. CSBC is the
official event of the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC) and in its 33th
edition, the conference will be held in the city of Maceió, in the state of
Alagoas (in northeast Brazil), on July 24-25, 2013.
The study of social networks originated in social, educational and
business communities, starting to have a theoretical support in 40's.
Currently, the increasing of the use of Web and social medium fosters
interaction among people, data dissemination and information sharing. With
this growing of available data – provided by people and their interaction,
as also provided by logs and web servers - we have the opportunity of
evaluate and develop techniques for social network analysis, identification
and mining of social networks. This has led to a rising prominence of social
network analyses in academia, politics, security, business, marketing,
science and other fields.
The BraSNAM 2013 will provide an interdisciplinary venue that will
bring together practitioners and researchers from social network analysis
and its related fields to promote collaborations and exchange of ideas and
practices.
More specialized topics within BraSNAM include, but are not limited
to:
* Social networks visualization
* Flow and diffusion of information
* Community evolution
* Extraction and treatment of social data
* Mining techniques
* Influence detection
* Trust and expertise identification
* Linking prediction and simulation
* Social information applied to recommender systems
* Social information and retrieval systems
* Contextualized analysis of social and information networks
* Modeling of user behavior
