日本データベース学会の皆様， 大阪大学の土方です．WI2研究会が共同主催で行います国際ワークショップ 「Social Networks and Socia Media Mining on the Web (SNSMW 2010)」です が，論文締切の1ヶ月前（前回アナウンス時より1週間延びました）となりました ので，再度アナウンスさせていただきます．本ワークショップは，国際会議 DASFAAの中で行います． 募集テーマは，まさにWI2研究会が扱う分野そのものとなります．ふるってご投 稿ください． ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st International Workshop on Social Networks and Social Media Mining on the Web in conjunction with DASFAA 2010 DASFAA2010, Tsukuba, Japan, April 1-4, 2010 http://www.nishilab.sys.es.osaka-u.ac.jp/SNSMW/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop Description: Today the emergence of web-based communities and hosted services such as social networking sites, 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 media are 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. A prominent challenge lies in modeling and mining this vast pool of data to extract, represent and exploit meaningful knowledge and to leverage structures and dynamics of emerging social networks residing in the social media. Social networks and social media mining combines data mining with social computing as a promising direction and offers unique opportunities for developing novel algorithms and tools ranging from text and content mining to link mining. The 1st International Workshop on Social Networks and Social Media Mining on the Web in conjunction with DASFAA 2010 will bring together the academia, researchers and industrial practitioners from computer science, information systems, statistics, sociology, behavior science and organization science discipline, and provide a forum for recent advances in the field of social networks and social media, from the perspectives of data management and mining. We solicit original and high quality submissions addressing all aspects of this field. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Computational models for social media * Query languages for social networks and social media * Query processing and optimization * Influence, trust, and privacy * Search in social networks and social media * Interoperability among social applications and social media * Techniques for social-network and social-media analysis/mining * Adversarial blogging and counter measures * 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 Submission Instruction: Authors are invited to submit electronically original, English-language research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. All accepted papers will be published in a combined volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series published by Springer in the form of conference post-proceedings. At the workshop site, informal on-site proceedings will be handed out as well. All submitted papers should be Springer LNCS camera-ready format. The style files are available from Springer LNCS site: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0 All submissions files should be in PDF formats. We employ the single blind review system (in which the authors don't know the reviewers, but the reviewers know the authors). The number of pages should not exceed 10 pages. Any papers more than 10 pages will be rejected. Submission Website: Please submit all manuscripts (research/industrial/demo papers) in PDF formats to the submission site: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/SNSMW2010/ Important Dates: Dec. 11, 2009 Paper submission deadline Feb. 12, 2010 Acceptance notification to authors Feb. 26, 2010 On-site paper deadline Apr. 26, 2010 Final camera-ready copy deadline Workshop organizers: Workshop Co-Chairs: Yoshinori Hijikata , Osaka University, Japan Guandong Xu, Victoria University, Australia Program Co-Chairs: Lin Li, Wuhan University of Technology, China Munehiko Sasajima, Osaka University, Japan Program Committee (in alphabetical order of last name): James Bailey, University of Melbourne, Australia Yixin Chen, Washington University in St Louis, USA Irene Ggarrigos, University of Alicante, Spain Kenji Hatano, Doshisha University, Japan Yoshinori Hijikata, Osaka University, Japan Makoto Iguchi, Synclore Corporation, Japan Fumihiro Kato, Keio University, Japan Yukiko Kawai, Kyoto Sangyo University, Japan Hideyuki Kawashima, Tsukuba University, Japan Ichiro Kobayashi, Ochanomizu University, Japan Tadahiko Kumamoto, Chiba Institute of Technology, Japan Yuefeng Li, Queensland University of Technology, Australia Wenxin Liang, Dalian University of Technology, China Mitsunori Matsushita, Kansai University, Japan Harumi Murakami, Osaka City University, Japan Hidetsugu Nanba, Hiroshima City University, Japan Ikki Omukai, National Institute of Informatics, Japan Shingo Otsuka, National Institute for Materials Science, Japan Hitomi Saito, Aichi University of Education, Japan Hiroshi Sakamoto, Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan Shigeaki Sakurai, Toshiba Corporation, Japan Munehiko Sasajima, Osaka University, Japan Hiroko Shoji, Chuo University, Japan Taro Sugihara, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Japan Yasufumi Takama, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan Xiaohui Tao Queensland University of Technology, Australia Kenji Tateishi, NEC Corporation, Japan Masashi Toyoda, University of Tokyo, Japan Botao Wang, Northeastern University, China Guoren Wang, Northeastern University, China Kazuaki Yamada, Toyo University, Japan Zhenglu Yang, University of Tokyo, Japan Koji Zettsu, National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan Jianwei Zhang, Kyoto Sangyo University,Japan Yanchun Zhang, Victoria University, Australia Event Co-sponsors: IEICE SIG-WI2 (SIG on Web Intelligence and Interaction) http://www.ieice.org/~wi2/ -- Associate Professor Yoshinori Hijikata, Ph.D. Division of Systems Science and Applied Informatics Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University Tel: +81-6-6850-6381 Fax: +81-6-6850-6341 E-mail: hijikata@sys.es.osaka-u.ac.jp
