CALL FOR PAPERS ===============

IEEE Internet Computing Special Issue on "Social Computing in Blogosphere" ==========================================================================

http://www.public.asu.edu/~huanliu/icscb2010

Guest editors: Huan Liu, Philip S. Yu, Nitin Agarwal, and Torsten Suel

(to appear in April-March 2010)

The widespread phenomenon of blogging demonstrates the power of citizen journalism, anytime information sharing to allow bloggers to exchange personal experiences, express like and dislikes, voice opinions, offer suggestions, and form groups with genuine social activities. Blogs also act as the conduits of information, propagating the information at an unprecedented pace. This creates a humongous ever changing archive of open source intelligence and presents a great opportunity for various fresh research activities including influence, trust and reputation, privacy, search, spam, and group interaction. A prominent challenge lies in modeling and mining this vast pool of data to extract, represent and exploit meaningful knowledge and to leverage structures and dynamics of emerging social networks residing in the blogosphere. Social computing that combines data mining with social network analysis is a promising direction, and offers unique opportunities for developing novel algorithms and tools ranging from text and content mining to link mining. Another challenge in social computing research deals with the data collection and objective evaluation.

The unique nature of the blogosphere makes it imperative to audaciously explore and actively collaborate on novel research and innovative development for academics, researchers, and industrial practitioners of disparate disciplines. This issue invites research submissions regarding blogosphere with interesting ideas and original approaches. This special issue strives to include high quality work, bring together academics, researchers, and practitioners to help disseminate, stimulate, and further research in both depth and breadth that promotes social computing in blogosphere.

Areas of Interests ==================

The issue aims to bring together researchers from different disciplines including computer science, economics, psychology, statistics, sociology, multimedia and semantic web technologies and foster discus-sions about ongoing research in the following (but not limited to) areas pertaining to Social Computing in Blogosphere:

Computational models for Blogosphere Influence, trust, and privacy Adversarial blogging and counter measures Link analysis and network structure discovery Community detection and evolution Blog search and retrieval Group interaction, collaboration, and recommendation Knowledge discovery (collective wisdom, trend analysis, and topic detection) Social aspects of Blogosphere

Important Dates ===============
