The study of social networks originated in social and business
communities. In recent years, social network research has advanced
significantly; the development of sophisticated techniques for Social
Network Analysis and Mining (SNAM) has been highly influenced by the
online social websites, email logs, phone logs and instant messaging
systems, which are widely analyzed using graph theory and machine
learning techniques. People perceive the web increasingly as a social
medium that fosters interaction among people, sharing of experiences
and knowledge, group activities, community formation and evolution.
This can be seen as rising prominence of SNAM in academia, politics,
homeland security and business. Many entities of our society evolved
into networks in which actors are increasingly dependent on their
structural embedding.
The international conference on Advances in Social Network Analysis
and Mining (ASONAM 2009) http://www.asonam.org/ will primarily provide
an interdisciplinary venue that will bring together practitioners and
researchers from a variety of field to promote collaborations and
exchange of ideas and practices. ASONAM 2009 is intended to address
important aspects with a specific focus on the emerging trends and
industry needs associated with social networking analysis and mining.
The conference solicits experimental and theoretical work on social
network analysis and mining along with its applications to real life
situations.
We have put together a very rich academic and social programs. The
academic program includes three keynote speakers and a number of high
quality papers to be presented by researchers from North America,
Europe, Asia and Australia. The social program includes a wonderful
banquet on the cruise. Overall, participating in ASONAM2009 will be a
wonder experience to always remember. The final program can be
downloaded at www.asonam.org
To help you plan your trip to Athens, we started to issue invitation
letters to registered participants and authors. Even if you plan to
travel with your spouse/ partner we will be happy to include his/her
name in the invitation letter. Such letters were very helpful in the
previous years and we have a number of couples showing up in Athens.
In case you need an invitation letter, please do register and send us
the full name as printed in the passport at asona...@hau.gr. We will
send you the invitation letter by email. Our past experience shows
that the embassy accepts print out of the letters sent by email.
We look forward to seeing you in Athens in July 2009
