Co-located With Asonam 2013
************************************************************************
Ecole des Mines de Saint-Etienne, Universite Jean-Monnet and Bell Labs co-organize the second edition of the
International Workshop on Semantic and Dynamic Analysis of Information Networks, co-located with Asonam 2013.
1. Background and Objectives
Mining social networks has now becoming a very popular research area not only for
data mining and web mining but also social network analysis. Data mining is a
technique that has the ability to process and analyze large amount of data and by this
to discover valuable information from the data. In recent year, due to the booming of
social communications and social networks web services, data mining becomes a very
important and powerful technique to process and analyze such large amount of data.
Recently, many researchers are focusing on developing new data mining techniques
and algorithms, or devoting to improve traditional mining techniques for social
network analysis. However, it is meaningless, if the discovered valuable and useful
data have not been applied in real application environment. Social data are the
aggregations of communication interaction and experience of people, and it if useful
for us to make decision from these data. Thus, it could be an important time to shift
the research focus to application area, such as decision support.
The workshop was firstly organized in conjunction with ASONAM 2009 conference
in Athens, Greece. MSNDS 2010 was conjunction with ASONAM 2010 in Odense,
Denmark. MSNDS 2011 was conjunction with ASONAM 2011 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Recently, MSNDS was held with ASONAM 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey this summer.
Thus, it is also valuable to include this workshop again in ASONAM 2013 to bring
researchers who are interested in this topic.
2. Topics include, but are not limited to:
This workshop invites papers of the following topics, but never exclusive:
· Mining social Data for decision support
· Mining social web services for decision support
· Algorithms for mining social networks for decision support
· Matching engines and interfaces for decision support systems
· System architectures
· Intelligent and multi-agent based decision support systems
· Social decision support systems
· Visualization
· Experiment and implementation
· Case studies and empirical studies
3. Important Dates:
‧ Full papers submission deadline: April 15, 201
‧ Notification of acceptance: May 6, 2013
‧ Camera ready papers: May 31, 2013
‧ Author registration due: June 10, 2013
