CALL FOR PAPERS

With the emergence of Web 2.0, the user became the heart of various
technologies that compose this new era such as mashups, collaborative
environments, social networks, etc. The main added ingredient is
certainly the social dimension with the aim of linking users together to
facilitate their interaction and make it richer and more productive. The
social Web is increasingly becoming the most interesting part of the Web
and is at the point of challenging well established Web players such as
the traditional search engines, e.g., Google. This is a huge step
forward from a user perspective but also opens up great prospects for
research in an environment that becomes increasingly complex, less
structured and more hostile considering the great mass of knowledge
generally hidden from the user.

Social networks are the focus of most of the work being done around the
social Web. Works in this area address in particular the structural
properties, e.g., the strength of social connections, characterization
of key players, etc. Apart from social networks, the social dimension
may be found in other forms and other locations on the Web: social media
such as YouTube and Flickr, social news like Digg or Twitter, or social
bookmarking as Delicious (del.icio.us). All these forms constitute a
huge container of social information with knowledge that may be useful
to the user. This knowledge may be leveraged by, e.g., offering new
value added services exploiting that knowledge, which otherwise is very
poorly exploited by users and service providers today.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and young researchers
from both academia and industry around issues related to the social
interactions analysis through mining social data for providing users
added value services. On the other hand, it is necessary to study and
understand how services providers could leverage this huge mass of
hidden knowledge for, e.g., business purposes, an issue facing all
services providers in this area. Concretely, this includes confronting
ideas in order to have a clearer view of the elements that surround this
new phenomenon, to build a clear overview of advances in the various
tracks related to the new Web era and then examining the scientific and
industrial short, medium and long terms to rise around this hot topic.

The workshop includes the following topics (but not limited to):
- Knowledge discovery from social data;
- Social networks (personal/professional) analysis;
- Social interactions analysis and aervice providers;
- Social analysis for content and services personalization;
- Social interactions analysis for information retrieval and filtering;
- Social recommender systems
- Community extraction and analysis;
- Privacy and social interactions analysis;
- Business models;
- New challenges and applications of social interactions analysis
for services providers;
- etc.

Submission must be written in English and should not exceed 10 pages
using the IEEE format. All the submissions will be reviewed by at least
three reviewers. Authors should submit their articles electronically
through the submission platform using the workshop website.

**************************************************************************

Eighth European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS 2010)
Paris, France, 16th-17th December 2010

http://www.lipade.fr/eumas10/

OVERVIEW

Agent technology has had an expanding impact and depth over the past two
decades and more, influencing and being influenced by other disciplines while
making a distinct research contribution with novel solutions to industrial
problems. It is crucial, therefore, that both academics and industrialists
within Europe have access to a forum at which current research and application
issues are presented and discussed. Following in the tradition of past EUMAS
(Oxford 2003, Barcelona 2004, Brussels 2005, Lisbon 2006, Hammamet 2007, Bath
2008, Aiya Napa 2009), the aim of the Eighth European Workshop on Multi-Agent
Systems is to encourage and support activity in the research and development of
multi-agent systems. This workshop is primarily intended as a European forum
at which researchers, and those interested in activities relating to research,
in the area of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems can meet, present
(potentially preliminary) research results, problems, and issues in an open and
informal but academic environment.

SUBMISSIONS

Submission of papers describing relevant preliminary or completed work are
invited. EUMAS welcomes papers that are original, or are under submission,
will be presented or have already been presented at relevant international
conferences. The workshop is intended as a forum for interaction and
discussion, and we especially invite submissions by students, who can receive
valuable feedback from this discussion-oriented focus. Preliminary student work
is welcome, as long as it possesses sufficient substance for serving as a basis
for discussion.

All submissions should be formatted using Springer's LNCS style and have a
maximum of 15 pages. We request the submission of title and abstract prior to
the paper submission, to help meet the tight reviewing schedule. Further
submission details on how to submit abstracts and papers will appear soon on
the page below.

http://www.lipade.fr/eumas10/submission.html

The workshop has no formal proceedings; it is intended primarily as a forum for
interaction and discussion. The workshop will provide proceedings to
registrants electronically (on a USB stick). Depending on the quality, we
intend to invite a selection of extended versions of original (not previously
published) submissions to be included in relevant journal special issues.

DATES

Abstracts due: 14th September 2010
Full papers due: 18th September 2010
Notification: 30th October 2010
Camera-ready submission: 20th November 2010
