The 16th International Conference on Social Network Analysis and Mining (ASONAM) will be held at the University of Calabria in Italy from 2 to 5 September 2024.

 

In recent years, research on social networks has progressed considerably. The emergence of social websites, e-mails, telephone diaries and instant messaging has greatly influenced the development of sophisticated techniques for analysing these networks, using graph theory and machine learning in particular. Increasingly, web users see the web as a social medium that encourages interaction, the sharing of experience and knowledge, and the formation and evolution of communities. This evolution has led to a significant increase in social network analysis in various spheres such as academia, politics, homeland security and business.

 

The ASONAM conference brings together practitioners and researchers from different fields to share their knowledge and practices, encouraging collaboration and the exchange of ideas. It also addresses emerging trends and industry needs related to social network analysis. The conference presents both experimental and theoretical work, as well as practical applications.

 

The papers presented will be reviewed by the programme committee, with an awards ceremony planned during the banquet to recognise the best contributions. The conference proceedings will be published and referenced in major digital libraries, including those of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
