The 2021 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining

November 2021, The Hague, Netherlands

Scope & Topics

The 2021 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining For more than a century, social networks have been studied in a variety of disciplines including sociology, anthropology, psychology, and economics. The Internet, the social Web, the Internet of Things, sensor networks, other socio-technological infrastructural advancements at large-scale, have triggered a growing interest and significant methodological advancements in social network analysis and mining. Furthermore, method development in graph theory, graph algorithms, statistics, data mining and machine learning, and statistical mechanics is inspired by new research problems. This, in turn, opens up further possibilities for a rich set of applications. These spiraling trends have led to a rising prominence of social network analysis and mining methods and tools in academia, politics, security, and business.
