ACM Conference on Online Social Networks (COSN'13)
With well over a billion people as members, today's online social networks (OSN) pervade all aspects of our daily lives. OSNs have grown beyond platforms for social communication and news dissemination, to indispensable tools for professional networking, social recommendations, and online content curation. Their usage has influenced today's societal and cultural issues, and changed the way we see ourselves and communicate with each other. Not surprisingly, study and research in OSNs is highly interdisciplinary, and participants include researchers from networking and systems, databases and data mining, security and privacy, and modeling and analysis. For a number of years, researchers have published in disparate venues focused in their own areas, and have lacked a common platform to congregate and exchange ideas. This has limited communication between like-minded researchers, and led to repeated and sometimes conflicting results across disjoint venues. The COSN (Conference on Online Social Networks) is organized with this challenge in mind. Our goal is to provide a premier publication venue that features high quality research from academia and industry across multiple disciplines focused around the study of OSNs. Of particular interest are works that focus on systems, security and privacy, graphs, data management, analysis, and data mining. We solicit papers in broad areas relevant to the design, analysis and development of OSNs. Call for Papers Topics of interest include: Novel social applications and systems Systems and algorithms for social search Infrastructure support for social networks and systems Social properties in systems design Clean-slate designs for social systems Measurement and analysis of social and crowdsourcing systems Graph analysis and visualization Processing and query optimization for large graphs Management of social network data Modeling Social Networks and behavior Streaming algorithms for social data Benchmarking, modeling, performance and workload characterization Information extraction and diffusion Data mining and machine learning in social networks Privacy in data collection and management Privacy and Security in social systems Privacy-preserving mechanisms for social and mobile data analysis Information disclosure and its impact on social networks Tracking social footprint / identities across social networks Trust systems and trustworthiness of social content/media Trust and reputations in social systems Detection, analysis, prevention of spam, phishing, and misbehavior in social systems Social and psychological understanding of these topics Program Committee Rakesh Agrawal, Microsoft Research, USA Jussara Almeida, Federal University of Minais-Gerais, Brazil Lerone Banks, Federal Trade Commission, USA Steven Bellovin, Columbia University/FTC, USA Smriti Bhagat, Technicolor Palo Alto, USA Augustin Chaintreau, Columbia University, USA Meeyoung Cha, KAIST, Korea Graham Cormode, University of Warwick, UK Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, UK Nilesh Dalvi, Facebook, USA Amr El Abbadi, University of California Santa Barbara, USA (PC co-chair) Peter Gloor, MIT, USA Matthias Grossglauser, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland Krishna Gummadi, Max-Planck Institute, Saarbrucken, Germany Anne-Marie Kermarrec, INRIA, France Balachander Krishnamurthy, AT&T Labs--Research, USA (PC co-chair) Silvio Lattanzi, Google New York, USA Cecilia Mascolo, University of Cambridge, UK Muthu Muthukrishnan, Microsoft & Rutgers University, USA Daniele Quercia, Yahoo!
