The International Conference on Computational Aspects of Social
Networks is a major annualinternational conference to brings together
an interdisciplinary venue for social scientists, mathematicians,
computer scientists, engineers, computer users, and students to
exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results
about all aspects (theory, applications and tools) of intelligent
methods applied to Social Network, and to discuss the practical
challenges encountered and the solutions adopted. The conference
programme will include workshops, special sessions and tutorials,
along with prominent keynote speakers and regular paper presentations
in parallel tracks. Proceedings are expected to be published by the
Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing, which is now indexed by
ISI Proceedings, DBLP. Ulrich's, EI-Compendex, SCOPUS, Zentralblatt
Math, MetaPress, Springerlink Proceedings will be made available
during the conference.
Social networks provide a powerful abstraction of the structure and
dynamics of diverse kinds of people or people-to-technology
interaction. These social network systems are usually characterized by
the complex network structures and rich accompanying contextual
information. Recent trends also indicate the usage of complex network
as a key feature for next generation usage and exploitation of the
Web. This international conference on Computational Aspect of 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 conference 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.
We solicit original research and technical papers not published
elsewhere. The papers can be theoretical, practical and application,
and cover a broad set of intelligent methods, with particular emphasis
on Social Network computing.
