*CASoN Series*:
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/cason/index.html

*Conference Objective*:
CASoN’12 brings together an interdisciplinary venue for social scientists,
mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers, computer users, and
students to
exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results about
all
aspects (theory, applications and tools) of intelligent methods applied to
Social Networks, and to discuss the practical challenges encountered and the
solutions adopted. The 3-day conference will feature prominent keynote
speakers,
workshop, tutorials, poster and paper presentation in parallel tracks.
Industrial Workshop/Tutorials and conference sessions will allow individuals
interested in the theory, methods, or applications of social network
analysis to
share ideas and explore common interests.
