SIGDSA Minitrack #7: Social Media and Network Analytics
Online social networks (OSN) differ from traditional offline
social
networks in content and structure. OSN content (e.g., online
reviews, eWOM
via tweets, likes, claps) differs in nature and frequency, and OSN
structure increases the content’s reach and propagation speed by
orders of
magnitude. Further, the content can be continuously captured at
the finest
level of granularity. Unstructured data in this form that is
disseminated
over OSN provides a lean yet in many ways unique and rich means of
communication that has the potential to not only influence
receivers
(consumers, colleagues, stakeholders, etc.), but also to provide a
window
into the participants’ information needs, responses to incentive
structures, and the collective sentiments of social groups
(consumers,
employees, voters, etc.).
This mini-track invites original research on the use of analytical
techniques to advance the theories of social networks to further
understand
social influence, human behavior and decision-making, network
structures,
and information diffusion.
Topics may include the following:
• Emerging architecture for scalable social media analytics
• Social network and Geospatial analytics,
• Visual social network analytics
• Privacy and security in social networks
• Communities structure discoveries such as profiling
participants, and
subgroups
• User sentiment analysis, opinion mining, and recommendation
analysis
• User empowerment and social movements with OSN
• Impact of OSN on brand communication, advertising, and
e-commerce
• Use of theories to understand user communication patterns and
behavior in
social media
• Impact of OSN on decision-making at the individual and
organizational
level
• Integration of OSN in enterprise processes and systems
• Ethical concerns about the nature of OSN content and spread of
misinformation
Selected papers from the mini-track will be eligible for a
fast-track
review for publication consideration in the e-Service Journal
