Abstract

Online social networks (OSNs) today have widely varying applications, including supporting information and resource sharing, aiding discovery of globally dispersed individuals, and many others. The Social Networking Workshop strives to bring together researchers from academia and industry to present developments on both research and engineering challenges associated with OSNs. The special theme for the 6th version of the workshop is *Social Media and Health*. Web and social media analytics have long been used to monitor, study, and perform interventions in the health domain. Traditional usage includes tracking spread of diseases and epidemics, such as Zika and Ebola. In recent years, social media is being used in many novel healthcare applications, ranging from detection of non–communicable diseases (e.g., substance abuse, depression), to studying the demographics of affected population, to tracking spread of health–related misinformation through social media. Topics of Interest The workshop invites original contributions related to Online Social Networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Health analytics in social media Automatic discovery and analysis of Web–based social networks Visualization of social networks Link topology and site hierarchy in social networks Security, privacy and trust analysis in social networks Web–based cooperative work and social intelligence Formation and support of knowledge communities Social network evolution and growth mechanisms Information diffusion and knowledge transfer in social networks Epidemics and rumours in social networks Community question–answering Anomaly and outlier detection in social networks Multiplex and interdependent social networks Computational models and agent–based simulations of social networks High–dimensional social network analytics Big data techniques for social networks Game–theoretic strategies for social networks Temporal and spatial social networks HCI for social media <div>Credibility analysis of social media content </div><div> </div>
