Minitrack 7: Social Media and Network Analytics
Online social networks (OSN) differ from traditional offline
social
networks in structure and content. Online content (e.g., online
reviews,
eWOM via tweets, likes) that differ in nature, frequency, reach,
propagation speed, etc., by orders of magnitude, can be
continuously
captured at the finest level of granularity. Unstructured data in
the form
of text and emoticons communicated over OSN provides a lean yet in
many
ways unique and emotionally rich means of communication that has
the
potential to influence message receivers (consumers, colleagues,
stakeholders, etc.). Such unstructured data in OSN presents
research
challenges that go beyond sentiment analysis, and include nuanced
aspects
such as uncertainty and specificity. Adoption of OSN affects
behavior and
decision-making in unique ways. This minitrack invites original
research on
the use of analytical techniques and theories of social network
analysis to
understand social influence, behavior, and decision-making, data
models,
network structure and information diffusion, and social network
analysis.
Topics may include the following:
– Emerging architecture for scalable social media analytics
– Online social networks and geospatial analytics
– Communities structure discoveries such as profiling participants
and
subgroups
– User sentiment analysis, opinion mining, and recommendation
analysis
– Visual online social network analytics
– Use of theories to understand user communication patterns and
behavior in
social media
– Network dynamics in the form of a population and structural
effects
– Impact of online social networks on decision-making at
individual and
organizational levels
– Influence of online social networks on markets
– Information privacy and security in online social networks
