*DESCRIPTION*



Social networking media (or social media) is defined as a group of
Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological
foundations of web and mobile, and that allow the creation and exchange of
user generated content. Research in social media analytics is focusing on
innovative methods and practices of measuring, analyzing and interpreting
user-generated content from a variety of online social media platforms,
websites, and blogs to uncover hidden patterns and correlations to answer a

research papers, both theoretical and empirical, that address a variety of
social network analytics methods, tools and platforms in different contexts

According to legend, Phoenix was named when, upon finding ancient Native
American ruins on the site, one of its founders predicted a new city would
rise from the ashes of the old. Today, Phoenix is certainly soaring, as one
of the largest and sunniest cities in the U.S. Located in the Sonoran
Desert, one of the wettest and greenest deserts in the U.S., and nestled
among several mountain ranges, Phoenix provides a wonderful setting for
outdoor adventure, including hiking, biking and horseback riding, or golf
at one of its more than 200 golf courses; unique dining and shopping
experiences; and, a chance to explore ancient Native American culture. With
a foundation nestled deep in the past, Phoenix is also looking ahead to an
exciting future, with major industries including high-tech manufacturing
and green construction, and a dogged determination to become carbon neutral
and relying 100% on clean energy by 2050. Phoenix is also home to the
headquarters of four Fortune 500 companies.



On behalf of the organizing committee, I invite you to join us at the 2023
INFORMS Annual Meeting for an opportunity to learn, inform and enjoy the
culture, weather and all the amenities in such the largest and sunniest
city as Phoenix, Arizona. I look forward to seeing you at the conference.

Best regards,



Tung (Francis) Cu, Ph.D.
