Call for Papers:
The popularity of social networking
and Internet connectivity, as well as the massive data generated from various
platforms and digitalized systems, offers researchers with unprecedented
opportunities to study user behavior patterns and understand practical
implications for various applications, which were previously difficult to
explore due to the lack of data. Now, with the large amount of data and data
mining techniques available, more real-world social problems may be understood,
analyzed and possibly addressed, including but not limited to anomalous (or
even criminal) individuals and groups, rumor dissemination, financial crisis,
disaster response, and precise medicine.
This special issue of World Wide
Web: Internet and Web Information Systems (WWW) will focus on the theory and
applications of social computing and big data analytics. This special issue
covers two folds: (1) recent applications on social computing; and (2) novel
techniques on how big data can solve real social and human problems. We solicit
papers covering various topics of interest that include, but not limited to,
the following:
·
Big data applications on precise medicine and human health;
· Data mining of large scale
networks and big data;
· Social behavior modeling,
understanding, and patterns mining;
· Social computing practice and
theory;
· Smart cities, smart mobility,
and urban informatics;
· Computational social science
and applications;
· Social analytics and societal
behavior for prediction;
· Social computing and social
networks;
· Social influence modeling and
analysis;
· Algorithmic and systems
support for mining large-scale social data.
