CALL FOR PAPERS
ACM OSNeD 2018
First International workshop on
Online Social Networks and Media: Network Properties and Dynamics
co-located with
The Web Conference (WWW) 2018
24 April 2018, Lyon, France
https://osned.netsons.org/
____________________________________________________________________
SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
__________________
Online Social Networks and Media (OSNEM) are one of the most disruptive
communication platforms of the last 15 years with high socio-economic value.
Within this framework, the network properties of OSNEM can be used to
capture multiple phenomena related to OSNEM, at different logical
layers, from a
technical perspective (e.g., OSNEM data management and information
diffusion),
as well as a societal perspective (e.g., the OSNEM users' social
structures).
Moreover, the analysis of network dynamics represents one of the biggest
challenges that emerged in recent years within the network science
community.
Therefore, OSNeD will focus on the analysis of OSNEM from the standpoint
of its
network properties and dynamics at all scales, from macro- to meso- (e.g.,
community) to micro (e.g., ego network) scales. It will be particularly
interesting to highlight the impact of network properties and dynamics on
emerging phenomenon, such as diffusion of information, the acquisition
of the
role of influencer, trust among users, polarization of opinions,
diffusion of
fake news, etc.
The OSNeD workshop aims at engaging a multidisciplinary community.
The workshop also welcomes submissions applying a wide range of
(computer- and
network-science) techniques and tools to OSNEM for investigating the
properties
and roles of the network of (online) social relationships in the various
sectors
of the society (e.g., politics, economics, finance, health, entertainment).
Within the general focus of the workshop on OSNEM network properties and
dynamics, topics include:
- OSNEM platforms, protocols and applications;
- Decentralized, mobile and location-based OSNEM;
- Dynamic Analysis of OSNEM
- Trust, reputation, privacy and security in OSNEM;
- Recommendations and advertising in OSNEM;
- Measurement, analysis and modeling of popular OSNEM platforms (Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, etc.);
- BigData analysis of OSNEM seen as large- meso- or micro-scale complex
networked systems;
- Information extraction and search in OSNEM;
- Complex-network analysis of OSNEM;
- Measurement, analysis and modeling of social networked users' behavior
through
OSNEM data;
- Analysis of the use of OSNEM in the urban context;
- Network challenges of crowdsourcing is OSNEM;
- Network challenges in multidisciplinary applications of OSNEM (economics,
medicine, society, politics, homeland security, etc.)
- OSNEM event detection;
- Evolutionary community / cluster discovery;
- Dynamic network generative models;
- Dynamic network embedding;
- Dynamics of trends, information and opinion diffusion in OSNEM
PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
________________________________________
Papers must be submitted in PDF according to the new ACM format
published in ACM
guidelines (http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template),
selecting the
generic "sigconf" sample.
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.
Both regular and disruptive (accepted) papers will be included in the
workshops
proceedings, which will be published as companion proceedings of The Web
Conference.
Submissions must be 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. Please follow the submission link at: https://easychair.org/
conferences/submission_new.cgi?a=16699902 and Select the full name of the
workshop in the submission list.
Please also refer to the submission guidelines are the same as for the main
conference and are available here
https://www2018.thewebconf.org/call-for-papers/
#guideline.
At least one author of an accepted paper must register, attend the
workshop and
present the paper.
AWARDS AND EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS
_______________________________
We will consider to assign a best paper award, and to organize a special
issue
on the Elsevier Online Social Networks and Media Journal
(https://www.journals.
elsevier.com/online-social-networks-and-media/), soliciting submissions
of extended versions of particularly promising papers.
