SoNet 2010

The SoNet Research Center at the Department of Informatics, Mendel University in Brno, and the fLexSem Research Group, Autonomous University of Barcelona, under the patronage of the IBM Dublin Center for Advanced Studies, invite you to the Second International Workshop SoNet-2010 "Social Networks: Computing and Mining."

Social networks are structures made of individuals or organizations tied by specific types of interdependencies. The real-world structures are usually very complex, containing hidden, inapparent information and knowledge waiting for being revealed.

SoNet-2010 includes tutorials and survey presentations from invited speakers, and new research results from participants focused on the recent multidisciplinary topic Social Networks (SNs). Special attention is given to methods related to social networks and natural language processing. SoNet-2010 encourages young researchers to actively participate in the Workshop. The organizers will prepare a special student session with awards for winners.
