Minitrack 7: Social Media and Network Analytics Online social networks
(OSN) differ from traditional offline social networks in structure and
content. Online content (e.g., online reviews, eWOM via tweets, likes) that
differ in nature, frequency, reach, propagation speed, etc., by orders of
magnitude, can be continuously captured at the finest level of granularity.
Unstructured data in the form of text and emoticons communicated over OSN
provides a lean yet in many ways unique and emotionally rich means of
communication that has the potential to influence message receivers
(consumers, colleagues, stakeholders, etc.). Such unstructured data in OSN
presents research challenges that go beyond sentiment analysis, and include
nuanced aspects such as uncertainty and specificity. Adoption of OSN
affects behavior and decision-making in unique ways. This minitrack invites
original research on the use of analytical techniques and theories of
social network analysis to understand social influence, behavior, and
decision-making, data models, network structure and information diffusion,
and social network analysis.
Topics may include the following:
– Emerging architecture for scalable social media analytics
– Online social networks and geospatial analytics
– Communities structure discoveries such as profiling participants and
subgroups
– User sentiment analysis, opinion mining, and recommendation analysis
– Visual online social network analytics
– Use of theories to understand user communication patterns and behavior in
social media
– Network dynamics in the form of population and structural effects
– Impact of online social networks on decision-making at individual and
organizational levels
– Influence of online social networks on markets
– Information privacy and security in online social networks
