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 a 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
