Enterprises are increasingly exploring Social Media Strategies to identify and engage their stakeholders and build competitive differentiation. Content generated in social networking environments might include discussion threads, logs of chat room conversations, contents of blogs, and any other content posted by users. The accumulated content and ideas withinsuccessful social networking environments represent an aggregation of the collective intelligence of the user community participating in those sites. The accumulated content can be viewed as an asset whose value might be tapped through the right types of analyses. This asset has potential value to both owners of the sites as well as the organizations whose products andservices being discussed. It presents significant implications for enterprises wanting to leverage social networks to draw insights and inferences on user participation and preferences expressed in networks.

Multiple inference options exist for understanding the behavior of online social networks. One area of analysis is that of focusing on the content purely, to try to discover concepts, facts or opinions from the content posted by users. A second type of analysis is to focus on the users themselves to discover networks (or sub-groups) in the community and to learn how those sub-groups get formed or change. We invite submissions which explore these or other analytic approaches to identifying and tapping the value of the content and ideas which accumulate within social media environments.

Conceptual, empirical and design-oriented works are welcome and will be considered for this mini-track.
