Track on Social Network and Media Analysis and Mining (SNMAM)

Call for Papers

The Social Network and Media Analysis and Mining (SNMAM) is a forum that brings both researchers and practitioners to discuss research trends and techniques related to the analysis and mining of social network and media data. The 7th SNMAM event will be organized as a track of SIMBig 2022 in Lima, Peru, as an interdisciplinary venue for computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers and application developers who work on networks and web-based methods.

Social network is a structure formed by a set of entities with some patterns of social interaction. Social Network Analysis (SNA) is focused on uncovering these patterns through the use of network science and graph theory. In the last decades, online social networks (OSNs) have become the most widely used web platforms due to the variety of services they offer to their users. This explosion has led to the diversification of both content (text, images, audio and other) and the sources (e.g. newscasts, newspapers and other companies) in OSNs. The need for processing and analyzing this content as well as understanding its impact on users' lives, has allowed for the rapid development of various techniques for mining and analysis of social media data.

Therefore, SNMAM welcomes experimental and theoretical works on analysis and mining of social network and social media data along with their application to real-world problems. Young scientists and researchers from scientific centers, students and graduates, as well as industrial partners are welcome to participate.

Scope and Topics

Authors are invited to submit original and innovative papers that break new ground, present insightful results based on your experience in Data Science. SIMBig 2022 has a broad scope, and specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Long Papers
Long Papers are limited to a total of 13-16 pages, including all content and references, and must be in PDF formatted with the Springer publication format.
Short Papers
Short Papers are limited to a total of 7-12 pages, including all content and references, and must be in PDF formatted with the Springer publication format.

Paper Submission Guidelines

  • All research submissions must be in English.
  • Submissions must be in PDF, formatted with the Springer Publications format. For details on the Springer style, see here.
  • Please, note that SNMAM submission is double-blind. Therefore, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not reveal their identity. Failure to follow this instruction will result in an automatic rejection of submission.
  • Papers accepted for publication: the camera-ready version of your paper must be submitted only using Latex format. This is to ensure proper insertion of the manuscript in proceedings. Failure to follow this instruction will result in disregard of submission.
