The Social Networks and Graph Analysis track invites original submissions addressing all the aspects of social networks and graph analysis. Social network have grown beyond mere social communication platforms by offering more and more professional services, recommendations, and novel content collection and dissemination functionalities. These offerings are facilitating new market opportunities and providing users a richer online communication world. This track solicits submissions on novel system aspects, algorithms, and methodologies to expand our understanding of how social networks are evolving and the resulting effect on end-user engagement.
Relevant topics include, but are not restricted to, the ones below:
- Algorithms for graph reconstruction and network inference
- Algorithms for graph streams
- Analysis of heterogeneous networks, signed networks, labeled networks, etc.
- Centrality and ranking in social networks
- Design and analysis of data structures for graphs and social networks
- Graph partition and community discovery
- Influence propagation and information diffusion in social networks
- Link prediction
- Location-aware social networks and mobility
- New models and algorithms for social network analysis
- Privacy-preserving mining of social networks
- Representation and compression of graphs and social networks
- Sampling and evaluation issues in graph algorithms
- Social mining, social search, and social recommendation systems
- Social reputation and trust management
- Spectral graph analysis
- Temporal evolution and dynamics of online social networks
- Theoretical analysis of graph algorithms and models for social networks
