(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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Papers reporting original and unpublished research results pertaining to the workshop topics are solicited. These papers will follow an academic review process. Full paper manuscripts must be in English with a maximum length of 8 pages (using the IEEE two-column template). Papers should be submitted to the EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=skdu2012 Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, technical depth, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Paper submission implies that at least one of the authors will do a full registration and go to present the paper if their paper is accepted. All papers accepted for workshop will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Hence all the rules and regulations of IEEE CPS will be applied as explained in the following link: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/policies ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submission: May 7, 2012 (PST) Notification: June 4, 2012 (PST) Camera-ready deadline: June 15, 2012 (PST) Author registration: June 15, 2012 (PST) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL ISSUE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The extended versions of selected papers presented during the SKDU 2012 workshop will be invited for a special issue of journal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Toshiyuki Amagasa, University of Tsukuba, Japan Guandong Xu, Victoria University, Australia Tieyun Qian, Wuhuan University, China Zeki Bozkus, Kadir Has University, Turkey ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Web Master and Publicity Chair ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rong Pan, Aalborg University, Denmark ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Committee ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Muhammad A Ahmad, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA Songul Albayrak, Yildiz University, Turkey Taner Arsan Arsan, Kadir Has University, Turkey James Bailey, University of Melbourne, Australia Ahmet Bulut, Istanbul Sehir University, Turkey Ling Chen, UTS, Australia Peter Dolog, Aalborg University, Denmark Ersin Elbasi, Tubitak, Turkey Cesim Erten, Kadir Has University, Turkey Flavius Frasincar, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherland Irene Garrigos, University of Alicante, Spain Paolo Garza, Politecnico di Torino, Italy Xueqing Gong, Eastern China Normal University, China Yanhui Gu, University of Tokyo, Japan Takako Hashimoto, Chiba University of Commerce, Japan Ben He, GUCAS, China Ralf Klamma, RWTH Aachen University, Germany Wenxin Liang, Dalian University of Technology, China Akiyo Nadamoto, Konan University, Japan Shinsuke Nakajima, Kyoto Sangyo University, Japan Satoshi Nakamura, Kyoto University, Japan Darko Obradovic, GMX, Germany Kenta Oku, Ritsumeikan University, Japan Shingo Otsuka, Kanagawa Institute of Technology, Japan Sherif Sakr, NICTA and UNSW, Australia Munehiko Sasajima, Osaka University, Japan Mingsheng Shang, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China Xiaohui Tao, University of Southern Queensland, Australia Julien Velcin, University of Lyon, France Daling Wang, Northeastern University, China Zongda Wu, Wenzhou University, China Zhenglu Yang, University of Tokyo, Japan Jianwei Zhang, Kyoto Sangyo University, Japan Xiuzhen Zhang, RMIT, Australia Tingshao Zhu, GUCAS, China Yu Zong, West Anhui University, China
