Social Network Analysis and Mining (by Springer)

http://www.springer.com/springerwiennewyork/computer+science/journal/13278
Aim and Scope:
SNAM include: (1) data mining advances on the discovery and analysis
of communities, personalization for solitary activities (like search)
and social activities (like discovery of potential friends), the
analysis of user behavior in open forums (like conventional sites,
blogs and forums) and in commercial platforms (like e-auctions), and
the associated security and privacy-preservation challenges; (2)
social network modeling, construction of scalable, customizable social
network infrastructure, identification and discovery of dynamics,
growth, and evolution patterns using machine learning approaches or
multi-agent based simulation. Papers should elaborate on data mining
or related methods, issues associated to data preparation and pattern
interpretation, both for conventional data (usage logs, query logs,
document collections) and for multimedia data (pictures and their
annotations, multi-channel usage data).
Topics include but are not limited to:
Web community
Personalization for search and for social interaction
Recommendations for product purchase
information acquisition and establishment of social relations
Recommendation networks
Data protection inside communities
Misbehaviour detection in communities
Preparing data for web mining
Pattern presentation for end-users and experts
Evolution of communities in the Web
Community discovery in large-scale social networks
Dynamics and evolution patterns of social networks, trend prediction
Contextual social network analysis
Temporal analysis on social networks topologies
Search algorithms on social networks
Multi-agent based social network modeling and analysis
Large-scale graph algorithms
Applications of social network analysis
Anomaly detection in social network evolution
