Objective:

The International Conference on Computational Aspects of Social
Networks organized in Salamanca, Spain brings together an
interdisciplinary venue for social scientists, mathematicians, computer
scientists, engineers, computer users, and students to exchange and
share their experiences, new ideas, and research results about all
aspects (theory, applications and tools) of intelligent methods applied
to Social Network, and to discuss the practical challenges encountered
and the solutions adopted. Industrial Workshop/Tutorials and conference
sessions will allow individuals interested in the theory, methods, or
applications of social network analysis to share ideas and explore
common interests.

Welcome to Fargo, North Dakota and we look forward to seeing you during
CASoN 2013!

We solicit original research and technical papers not published
elsewhere. The papers can be theoretical, practical and application, and
cover a broad set of intelligent methods, with particular emphasis on
Social Network computing. Methods such as (but not restricted to) :

Neural Networks and Connectionist Models
Evolutionary Algorithms
Fuzzy Logic
Knowledge Management
Multi-valued Logic
Semantic Networks
Rough Sets
Intelligent Agents
Ontologies
Reinforcement Learning

Applications on Social Networks:

Network evolution

Network evolution and growth mechanisms. Online communities and
computer networks. Information diffusion in social networks.
Detection of communities by document analysis.
Topology of real networks.

Recommendation

Information diffusion in social networks. Recommendations for product
purchase, information acquisition and establishment of social relations.
Impact of recommendation models on the evolution of the social network.
Classification models and their application in social recommender
systems.

Advertisement models

Economical impact of social network discovery. Social advertising. Use
of social networks for marketing.

Search in network

Web page ranking informed by social media. Search algorithms on social
networks.
Collaborative Filtering.

Security

Anomaly detection in social network evolution.
Data protection inside communities. Crime data mining and network
analysis.
Modeling trust and reputation in social networks.
