Deadline Extension: The Second Workshop on Social Network Analysis in Applications (SNAA 2012) @ ASONAM 2012

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Second Workshop on Social Network Analysis in Applications (SNAA 2012) (http://www.zsi.pwr.wroc.pl/SNAA2012/)

Is co–located with the 2012 International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM 2012) (http://www.asonam2012.etu.edu.tr/)

Due to few requests, the SNAA committee have decided to extend the full paper submission deadline to May 11, 2012.

The SNAA 2012 workshop is devoted to analysis of social structures and what is more important to identify the areas where social network analysis can be applied and provide the knowledge that is not accessible for other types of analysis. Additionally, applications of social networks analysis can be investigated either from static or dynamic perspective.

We seek for business and industrial applications of social network analysis that help to solve real-world problems. The area of social networks analysis and its applications bring together researchers and practitioners from different fields and the main goal of this workshop is to provide for these people the opportunity to share their visions, research achievements and solutions as well as to establish worldwide cooperative research and development. At the same time, we want to provide a platform for discussing research topics underlying the concepts of social network analysis and its applications by inviting members of different communities that share this common interest of investigating social networks. As the area of social networks is a highly cross-disciplinary one, we aim to foster and develop sustainable collaborations between Computer Science and Informatics, Sociology, Cognitive Science and Psychology, Geographic and Environmental Science, Biology, and Health and Social Sciences. This will give the opportunity to push further the discussion upon the potential of social networks and their applications across these communities.

SPECIAL ISSUE

The extended versions of selected papers presented during the SNAA 2012 workshop will be published in the special issue of the prestigious journal selected from the Journal Citation Report (with impact factor). Last year it was Journal of Universal Computer Science JUCS.

BEST PAPER AWARD

The Best Paper Award will be given for the paper judged to make the most significant contribution to SNAA 2012.
