   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

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:
