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
