Workshop Scope
Objectives of this PAKDD workshop are to provide an informal and vibrant opportunity for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research positions, original research results and practical development experiences on specific challenges and emerging issues of data mining in social networks. As the workshop topics are focused and cohesive, participants can benefit from interaction with each other.
