interpreting interactions and associations between people, topics,
information, and ideas to uncover hidden patterns and correlations to
assist in making more informed decisions. Emerging research in social
network analytics is focusing on innovative methods and approaches for
gathering disparate data from a variety of online social media fora,
websites, and blogs and applying it to examine a range of questions

and also predicting the right kind of flu virus using social media
analytics). In this mini-track, we solicit high-quality original research
