SNAMS 2026 CFP

Social network analysis is concerned with the study of relationships between social entities. The recent advances in internet technologies and social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, have created outstanding opportunities for individuals to connect, communicate or comment on issues or events of their interests. Social networks are dynamic and evolving in nature; they also involve a huge number of users. Frequently, the information related to a certain concept is distributed among several servers. This brings numerous challenges to researchers, particularly in the data mining and machine learning fields. SNAMS 2026 aims to investigate the opportunities and in all aspects of Social Networks. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigate SNAMS challenges. That is, the objective of SNAMS 2026 is to provide the opportunity for students, scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Social Networks. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to:

SYSTEMS & INFRASTRUCTURE

Systems and algorithms for social search
Infrastructure support for social networks and systems
Dynamics and evolution patterns of large and complex networks
Social properties in systems design
Learnings from operational social networks
Big Data and Social Paradigms

ALGORITHMS AND MODELS

Deep Learning and Knowledge Discovery.
Measurement and analysis of social and crowdsourcing systems
Benchmarking, modeling, performance and workload characterization
Modeling Social Networks and behavior
Management of social network data
Methods for social and media analysis
Information propagation and assimilation in social networks
Data mining and machine learning in social systems

APPLICATIONS

Novel social applications and systems
Transient OSNs (e.g. Snapchat)
Special purpose OSNs (e.g., Instagram, Vine)
Communities in social networks
Collaboration networks
New models of advertising and monetization in social networks
PRIVACY & SECURITY

Privacy and security in social systems
