The Second International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM 08)

January 29, 2023

Call for Papers: The Second The International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media

The Second International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media will be held in Seattle, Washington, USA

The rapid creation and consumption of social media content continues to drive the evolution of the Internet and the Web. Social media content now accounts for the majority of content published daily on the web.

As the space evolves, researcher and industrial practitioners find themselves at a key point for collaborating on research, implementation and deployment of a wide range of analyses and applications.

The International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media invites researchers in the broad field of social media analysis to submit papers for its second meeting. Following in the tradition of earlier workshops and the first meeting in Boulder, USA in 2007, we anticipate an exciting, high quality event which will bring together academic and industrial practitioners to present and to discuss new research, applications, thoughts and ideas that are shaping the future of social media analysis.

Areas of Interest

The conference aims to bring together researchers from different subject areas including computer science, linguistics, psychology, statistics, sociology, multimedia and semantic web technologies and foster discussions about ongoing research in the following areas:

  1. Psychological, personality-based and ethnographic studies of social media
  2. Analyzing relationship between social media and mainstream media
  3. Centrality/influence of bloggers/blogs; ranking/relevance of blogs; web pages ranking based on blogs
  4. Data acquisition: crawling/spidering and indexing
  5. Human computer interaction; social media tools; navigation
  6. Multimedia; audio/visual processing; aggregating information from different modalities
