Research in social media analytics is focusing on innovative methods and practices of measuring, analyzing and interpreting user-generated content from a variety of online social media platforms, websites, and blogs to uncover hidden patterns and correlations to answer a range of questions pertaining to organizational, educational, social as well as political issues. In this session, we solicit high-quality original research papers, both theoretical and empirical, that address a variety of social network analytics methods, tools and platforms in different contexts such as business, healthcare, education, politics, security and privacy.

This year, the theme of the meeting lies on new developments of analytics techniques and methods for understanding natural and social systems to drive decision making for saving lives, saving money and
