The international conference on Advances in Social Network Analysis 
and Mining (ASONAM 2012) will primarily provide an interdisciplinary 
venue that will bring together practitioners and researchers from a 
variety of SNAM fields to promote collaborations and exchange of ideas 
and practices. ASONAM 2012 is intended to address important aspects with
 a specific focus on the emerging trends and industry needs associated 
with social networking analysis and mining. The conference solicits 
experimental and theoretical works on social network analysis and mining
 along with their application to real life situations.

General areas of interest to ASONAM 2012 include information science
 and mathematics, communication studies, business and organizational 
studies, sociology, psychology, anthropology, applied linguistics, 
biology and medicine.

Tentative deadlines

Papers
 reporting original and unpublished research results pertaining to the 
above topics are solicited (Proceeding indexed by EI). Full paper 
submission deadline is March 15, 2012. These papers will follow an 
academic review process. Full paper manuscripts must be in English with a
 maximum length of 8 pages (using the IEEE two-column template). 
Submissions should include the title, author(s), affiliation(s), e-mail 
address(es), tel/fax numbers, abstract, and postal address(es) on the

Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, 
significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Authors should 
certify that their papers represent substantially new previously 
unpublished work. Paper submission implies that the intent is for one of
 the authors to present the paper if accepted and that at least one of 
the authors register for a full conference fee.

Proceedings will be published by the prestigious IEEE CS -- CPS.
