CALL FOR PAPERS
The 2nd International Workshop on Large Scale Network Analysis (LSNA 2013)
In conjunction with WWW 2013
May 14, 2013 -- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

applications at an ever growing speed, ranging from social networks such as
Facebook and Twitter, scientific citation networks such as CiteSeerX, to
biological networks such as protein interaction networks. Network data
analysis is crucial to exploit the wealth of information encoded in these
network data. An effective analysis of these data must take into account the
complex structure including social, temporal and sometimes spatial
dimensions, and an efficient analysis of these data demands scalable
solutions. As a result, there has been increasing research in developing
scalable solutions for novel network analytics applications.
This workshop will provide a forum for researchers to share new ideas and
techniques for large-scale network analysis. We expect novel research works
that address various aspects of large scale network analysis, including
network data acquisition and integration, novel applications for network
analysis in different problem domains, scalable and efficient network
analytics algorithms, distributed network data management, novel platforms
supporting network analytics, and so on.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest for this workshop include but are not limited to the
following:
- Large scale network data acquisition, filtering, navigation, integration,
search and analysis
- Novel applications for network data with interesting analytics results
- Exploration of scalability issues in network analysis or modeling
- Distributed network data management
- Discussion on the deficiency of current network analytics or modeling
approaches and proposition on new directions for research
- Discovering unique features of emerging network datasets (e.g. new linked
data, new form of social networks)
Workshop program
The workshop hopes to accept 8~10 papers for oral presentations. Each paper
will have 25 minutes of time, including oral presentation and question &
answer. We plan to invite 4~6 keynote/industrial speakers in total: half of
them from IBM and half of them from other Internet companies. We hope these
speakers will provide a variety of perspectives on the topic of large-scale
network analysis from different institutions and companies. Each keynote
speech is planed to take 45~60 minutes and every industrial talk is planed
to take 30~45 minutes.
Confirmed keynote speaker: Ricardo Baeza-Yates Ricardo Baeza-Yates is VP of
Yahoo! Research for Europe, Middle East and Latin America, leading the labs
at Barcelona, Spain and Santiago, Chile, since 2006, as well as supervising
the lab in Haifa, Israel since 2008. He is also part time Professor at the
Dept. of Information and Communication Technologies of the Universitat
Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain, since 2005. Until 2005 he was Professor
and Director of the Center for Web Research at the Department of Computer
Science of the Engineering School of the University of Chile. He obtained a
Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo, Canada, in 1989. Before he obtained
two masters (M.Sc. CS & M.Eng. EE) and the electrical engineering degree
from the University of Chile, Santiago. He is co-author of the best-seller
Modern Information Retrieval textbook, published in 1999 by Addison-Wesley
with a second enlarged edition in 2011, as well as co-author of the 2nd
edition of the Handbook of Algorithms and Data Structures, Addison-W!
esley, 1991; and co-editor of Information Retrieval: Algorithms and Data
Structures, Prentice-Hall, 1992, among more than 300 other publications. He
has received the Organization of American States award for young researchers
in exact sciences (1993) and the CLEI Latin American distinction for
contributions to CS in the region (2009). In 2003 he was the first computer
scientist to be elected to the Chilean Academy of Sciences. During 2007 he
was awarded the Graham Medal for innovation in computing, given by the
University of Waterloo to distinguished ex-alumni. In 2009 he was named ACM
Fellow and in 2011 IEEE Fellow.
