In recent years, social network research has advanced significantly with the rapid development of online social websites and instant messaging systems. People increasingly perceive the Web as a social medium that fosters interaction among people, sharing of experiences and knowledge, group activities, community formation and evolution. IJSNM addresses important aspects of interest to practitioners and researchers with a specific focus on the emerging trends and industry needs associated with using data mining techniques for social networking analysis.

Topics covered include

  • Discovering influential members/implicit relationships
  • Discovering implicit social graphs/temporal patterns
  • Misbehaviour in web communities, mining social interactions for viral marketing
  • Detecting popular emerging events in social communities
  • Compressing large social networks for analysis, scalability
  • Data preparation/pre-processing for mining large social networks
  • Community discovery in social networks, drift/evolution in web communities
  • Mining stream data in evolving social networks, real-time mining
  • High performing algorithms, graph search algorithms
  • Multi-agent-based modelling/analysis
  • Data mining for security, malware analysis in social networks
  • Data mining in mobile social networks and in semantic web platforms
  • Mining semantic web data from social software applications
  • Data mining/knowledge discovery in natural languages
  • Social recommender systems, personalisation for search, social interaction
