The 2014 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Network Analysis and Mining

The IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Network Analysis and Mining (ASONAM) provides a premier interdisciplinary forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from all social networking analysis and mining related fields for presentation of original research results, as well as exchange and dissemination of innovative, practical development experiences. ASONAM 2014 seeks to address important challenging problems with a specific focus on the emerging trends and industry needs associated with social networking analysis and mining. The conference solicits experimental and theoretical findings along with their real-world applications. General areas of interest to ASONAM 2014 include the design, analysis and implementation of social networking theory, systems and applications from computer science, mathematics, communications, business administration, sociology, psychology, anthropology, applied linguistics, biology and medicine. More specialized topics within ASONAM include, but are not limited to:

• Agent based social simulation and computational models
• Anomaly detection in social network evolution
• Application of social network analysis and mining
• Community discovery and analysis in large scale online/offline social networks

Paper submission

Papers reporting original and unpublished research results pertaining to the above topics are solicited. The papers will reviewed by a minimum of two subject experts. Full paper manuscripts must be in English with a maximum length of 8 pages using the IEEE CPS two-column template. Papers should be submitted to the Conference Web site: https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2014/asonam14/cbc_index.php . IEEE will retain the copyright for accepted papers and the IEEE copyright form found at http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/rights/copyrightmain.html will therefore have to be completed. Papers will be accepted for the conference based on the reviewers comments on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. If the paper is accepted, the paper will appear in the proceedings of the conference if one author presents the paper at the conference and at least one author register as a full conference participant.

Publications

Accepted and presented papers will be included in the ASONAM 2014 Conference Proceedings and forwarded for inclusion in IEEE Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL), IEEE Xplore and the ACM Digital Library. The conference proceedings will be submitted for EI indexing through INSPEC by IEEE.
