    The 2018 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM 2018)
    Barcelona, Spain, 28-31 August, 2018

    http://asonam.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/2018/

    For more than a century, social networks have been studied in a variety of disciplines including sociology, anthropology,

    psychology, and economics. The Internet, the social Web, and other large-scale, socio-technological infrastructures have

    triggered a growing interest and significant methodological advancements in social network analysis and mining. Method

    development in graph theory, statistics, data mining and machine learning, and statistical mechanics is inspired by new

    research problems and, in turn, opens up further possibilities for application. These spiraling trends have led to a

    rising prominence of social network analysis and mining methods and tools in academia, politics, security, and business.

    The international conference series on Advances in Social Network Analysis and Mining (ASONAM) provides an

    interdisciplinary venue that brings together researchers and practitioners from a broad variety of fields to promote

    collaborations and exchange of ideas and practices. ASONAM is intended to address important aspects with a specific focus

    on emerging trends and industry needs. The conference solicits empirical, experimental, methodological, and theoretical

    research reporting original and unpublished results on social network analysis and mining along with applications. More

    specialized topics within ASONAM 2018 include, but are not limited to:

    Techniques
    Data collection and quality
    Big data and scalability
    Deep learning and embeddings
    Statistical learning

    To fully embrace the fast-growing and vigorously dynamic trend of social network approaches and applications, ASONAM 2018

    is eager to consider any breakthroughs in social network analysis and mining in the broadest possible sense.

    General areas of interest to ASONAM 2018 include information science and mathematics, communication studies, business and

    organizational studies, sociology, psychology, anthropology, applied linguistics, biology and medicine.

    Submission
    The papers will be reviewed and assessed by the program committee. Full paper manuscripts must be in English with a length

    of 8 pages using the IEEE two-column template. We solicit also short paper with a maximum length of 4 pages. Submissions

    should include the title, author(s), affiliation(s), e-mail address(es), and abstract on the first page.

    EasyChair submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=asonam2018

    Papers will be accepted for the conference based on the reviewers' comments on their originality, timeliness,

    significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. A Best Paper Award ceremony will be organized at the banquet. 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 registers as a full conference participant.


    Publications
    Accepted and presented papers 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. Proceedings will be included in several indexes, e.g., Web of Science, SCOPUS,

    etc.
