=================== ***Call for Papers*** ===================
3rd International Workshop on Modeling, Analysis, and Management of Social Networks and their Applications March 18, 2020 - Saarbrücken, Germany https://www.mmb2020.de/workshops/socnet2020
General Information ===================
SOCNET 2020 is a workshop at MMB 2020 on modeling, analysis, and management of complex social networks — the social structures that emerge from the interaction of human actors. Over the years, scholars in the fields of anthropology, sociology, psychology, economics, and organizational theory have proposed different methods and techniques to reveal these structures and analyze their functioning and network outcomes. The practical application of social network analysis constitutes an important and rapidly growing area of research in our modern, interconnected information society. The related scientific concepts incorporate a variety of methods from graph theory, computer science, and statistics, among others. The workshop will cover all aspects of modeling, analysis, and management of social networks and the applied methodologies that arise in social network theory and analysis. The topics range from the purely theoretical to applied areas, including the structural inference, modeling, analysis, simulation, control, and use of social networks. The workshop will be interdisciplinary. To incorporate fully the methodological, technical, and economic aspects of social network analysis, we invite contributions from many fields, including, but not restricted to, information systems, computer science, economics, management, sociology, psychology, anthropology, biology, and physics. We also invite practitioners, who will enrich the discussion by sharing their experiences with business applications of social networking. We anticipate an open exchange of fresh ideas, problems, and new directions. The workshop is co-located with the 20th International GI/ITG Conference on “Measurement, Modelling and Evaluation of Computing Systems” (MMB 2020).
The workshop is supported by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Netzwerkforschung (German Association for Network Research, DGNet): https://www.netzwerkforschung.org .
