Objectives & Mission
Social networks
provide a powerful abstraction of the structure and
dynamics of diverse kinds of people or
people-to-technology interaction. Web 2.0 has enabled a
new generation of Web-based communities, social
networks, and folksonomies to facilitate collaboration
among different communities. Social network analysis is
a rapidly growing field within the Web intelligence
domain. The recent developments in Web 2.0 have provided
more opportunities to investigate the dynamics and
structure of Web-based social networks. Recent trends
also indicate the usage of social networks as a key
feature for next generation usage and exploitation of
the Web. This international workshop on
“Computational Social Networks’ is focused on the
foundations of social networks as well as case studies,
empirical, and other methodological works related to the
computational tools for the automatic discovery of
Web-based social networks. This workshop provides an
opportunity to compare and contrast the ethological
approach to social behavior in animals (including the
study of animal tracks and learning by members of the
same species) with web-based evidence of social
interaction, perceptual learning, information
granulation, the behavior of humans and affinities
between web-based social networks. The main topics
cover the design and use of various computational
intelligence tools and software, simulations of social
networks, representation and analysis of social
networks, use of semantic networks in the design and
community-based research issues such as knowledge
discovery, privacy and protection, and visualization.
Recommended topics include but are not limited to the
following:
o
Automatic discovery and
analysis of Web based social networks.

About the series "Computer
Communications and Networks."
The Computer Communications and Networks series is a range of
textbooks, monographs and handbooks. It sets out to provide students,
researchers, and non-specialists alike with a sure grounding in current
knowledge, together with comprehensible access to the latest developments
in computer communications and networking. Emphasis is placed on clear and
explanatory styles that support a tutorial approach, so that even the most
complex of topics is presented in a lucid and intelligible manner.
Instructions for Authors
