SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
__________________
SAO aims to provide an interdisciplinary reference forum focusing on the use of
Online Social Networks and Media (OSNEM) as a "BigData microscope" to
investigate the human social behavior. Therefore, both tools and techniques to
"build" (or improve) such a microscope, as well as results from the analysis of
data obtained through this microscope, are welcome in the workshop. SAO aims at
engaging researchers working (i) on efficient methods, tools and techniques to
search for, collect and analyze large-scale datasets from OSNEM, as well as (ii)
on analyzing and characterizing human social behaviors through OSNEM data.
The type of papers we seek is manifold. One the one hand, the workshop aims to
attract work describing innovative tools and methodologies to collect OSNEM
data, search for relevant information, for the benefit of BigData analyses on
the human social behaviour. Moreover, we wish to attract papers highlighting
novel results in the application of BigData analytics tools to characterise,
through the analysis of OSNEM data, the online human social behaviour, such as
social network structures, patterns of information dissemination, establishment
of trust and influence, emerging social phenomena. Finally, we aim to attract
papers proposing and validating, through the analysis of OSNEM data, novel
models of the human social behaviour. One objective of SAO is thus to attract
papers, with a quantitative approach, from multiple communities of researchers
working on these topics. This includes computer scientists, as well as social
scientists, complex network physicist, anthropologists, behavioural economists.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- OSNEM platforms, protocols and applications to collect data about the human
online social behaviour;
- Decentralized, mobile and location-based OSNEM;
- Information collection, extraction and search in OSNEM;
- Measurement, analysis and modeling of popular OSNEM platforms
(Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, etc.);
- Social network structures emerging in OSNEM;
- Analysis of the human social behavior in OSNEM compared
to the "offline" world;
- Measurement, analysis and modeling of social networked users'
behavior through OSNEM data;
- Social media analysis and social analytics;
- Analysis of trust, reputation, privacy and security in OSNEM;
- Dynamics of trends, information and opinion diffusion in OSNEM;
- Recommendations and advertising in OSNEM;
- Analysis of urban social behavior through OSNEM data;
- Analysis of complex human social phenomena through OSNEM data (economics,
health, well-being, society, politics, homeland security, migration, etc.)
- Complex-network analysis of human social behavior through OSNEM;
- Crowdsourcing in OSNEM for social behavior analysis.
PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
________________________________________
Papers must be written in English and formatted according to the IEEE two-column
template. Author instructions, style files and copyright form can be downloaded
from https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html <https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html>.
We accept two types of submissions, i.e., full papers and "disruptive" papers.
- Full papers can be up to six (6) pages, plus 2 additional pages if needed.
- "Disruptive" papers will be of maximum 2 pages. They would primarily propose a
disruptive idea in the framework of the workshop topics. A disruptive idea
should be really novel. So, for instance, working on improving the quality on
an already existing approach is not disruptive (usually), while proposing a
totally new problem addressing a particularly new challenge, is disruptive.
Disruptive papers will be evaluated by the PC, according to a standard review
process.
Submissions must be self-contained and in English. Papers should neither have
been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference
or journal. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines may be rejected
without review.
Papers will be reviewed single-blind.
At least one author of an accepted paper must register, attend the workshop and
present the paper.
Accepted and presented papers (both regular and disruptive) will be included in
the Conference Proceedings and forwarded for inclusion in IEEE Computer Society
Digital Library (CSDL), IEEE eXplore, and the ACM Digital Library. The
conference proceedings will be submitted for El indexing through INSPEC by the
IEEE.
Please follow the submission link
