ICCCN 2012 – Track on
*Network Science and Social Networks* (NSSN)

Social Networking Services are revolutionizing the way that users
interact on the Web. Being easy to use, and integrating the main
communication services and games, they represent a simplified, managed
(and walled-garden) version of the Web, providing identifiability of
their participants between each other (and by the service provider).
Online Social Networks not only attract much broader audiences, but they
attract their audiences for much longer sessions, than previous Internet
services. Providing perfect observability of the interacting
individuals, they are a treasure for marketing and advertisement on the
one hand, but for scientists who are able to get access to such
behavioural data, on the other. Openly accessible, they collect huge
amounts of user generated content, images, and messages that their users
share with their contacts. Serving the large audiences in an efficient
way, at the current scale of hundreds of millions of users with such
rich content, which is highly local with respect to its appeal within
the overall base of users, remains a very much open problem. This track
addresses the full range of data analysis, social networking service
design, and experimentation with online social networks.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
    Architectures and systems design for social networks
    Search strategies in social networks
    Social Web Content Provisioning
    Link-, Spot-, and further item Recommendations
    Social Networking platform Apps
    Mobile social networks
    Distributed Systems enabled by Social Networks
    Complex (Social) Network Analysis
    Community Identification
    Economic Models for Social Networks
    Social media analysis
