Enterprises are increasingly exploring Social Media Strategies to identify
and engage their stakeholders and build competitive differentiation.
Content generated in social networking environments might include
discussion threads, logs of chat room conversations, contents of blogs, and
any other content posted by users. The accumulated content and ideas
withinsuccessful social networking environments represent an
aggregation of the
collective intelligence of the user community participating in those sites.
The accumulated content can be viewed as an asset whose value might be
tapped through the right types of analyses. This asset has potential value
to both owners of the sites as well as the organizations whose
products andservices being discussed. It presents significant
implications for
enterprises wanting to leverage social networks to draw insights and
inferences on user participation and preferences expressed in networks.

Multiple inference options exist for understanding the behavior of
online social
networks. One area of analysis is that of focusing on the content purely,
to try to discover concepts, facts or opinions from the content posted by
users. A second type of analysis is to focus on the users themselves to
discover networks (or sub-groups) in the community and to learn how those
sub-groups get formed or change. We invite submissions which explore these or
other analytic approaches to identifying and tapping the value of the
content and ideas which accumulate within social media environments.

Conceptual, empirical and design-oriented works are welcome and will be
considered for this mini-track.
