foundations and applications by Springer Verlag

(Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this

message)

The study of social networks originated in social and business

communities. In recent years, social network research has advanced

significantly; the development of sophisticated techniques for Social

Network Analysis and Mining (SNAM) has been highly influenced by the

online social Web sites, email logs, phone logs and instant messaging

systems, which are widely analyzed using graph theory and machine

learning techniques. People perceive the Web increasingly as a social

medium that fosters interaction among people, sharing of experiences

and knowledge, group activities, community formation and evolution.

This has led to a rising prominence of SNAM in academia, politics,

homeland security and business. This follows the pattern of known

entities of our society that have evolved into networks in which

actors are increasingly dependent on their structural embedding.

General areas of interest to the book include information science and

mathematics, communication studies, business and organizational

studies, sociology, psychology, anthropology, applied linguistics,

biology and medicine. More specialized topics within Social Network

Analysis and Mining include, but are not limited to:

* Anomaly detection in social network evolution
