Nowadays, multimedia data allow fast and effective communication and
sharing of information about peoples' lives, their behaviors, work, and
interests, but they are also the digital testimony of facts, objects, and
locations. In such a context, Social Media Networks (SMNs) actually
represent a natural environment where users can create and share multimedia
content such as text, images, video, audio, and so on. Just as an example,
each minute thousands of tweets are sent on Twitter, several hundreds of
hours of videos are uploaded to YouTube, and a huge amount of photos are
shared on Instagram or uploaded to Flickr. Within these "interest-based"
networks, each user interacts with the others through multimedia content
(text, image, video, audio) and such interactions create "social links"
that well characterize the behaviors of the users. Here, in addition to
social information (e.g., tags, opinions, insights, evaluations,
perspectives, ratings, and user profiles) multimedia data can play a
"key-role" especially from the perspective of Social Network Analysis
(SNA): representing and understanding multimedia characteristics and
user-to-item interaction mechanisms can be useful to predict user behavior,
model the evolution of multimedia content and social graphs, design
human-centric multimedia applications and services, just to make a few
examples.
In particular, SMNs are becoming truly pervasive, encompassing every aspect
of our digital life. While the widespread adoption of SMNs by virtually all
small and large businesses, as well as many individual users, has enormous
benefits in terms of dissemination of and access to information, the
diverse nature of the content shared on SMNs (text, video, audio) poses new
and interesting challenges with respect to information reuse and
integration. The International Workshop on Social Media Networks Analytics
and Applications (SMA2) aims to address these critical challenges by
bringing together scientists, engineers, practitioners, and students in an
interdisciplinary forum where they can share experiences and ideas, discuss
the results of their research on models, methodologies and algorithms, and
forge new collaborations that will lead to the development of new
applications and tools to transform information extracted from SMNs into
actionable intelligence.
