[Tccc] [CFP Eurosys Workshop SNS 2010] Social Network Systems

*****************************************************
The Third Workshop on Social Network Systems (SNS'10)

In conjunction with EuroSys 2010 Paris France, 13th April

Submission deadline is extended - March 5, 2010

WORKSHOP THEME

The Third Workshop on Social Network Systems (SNS'10) will gather
researchers to discuss novel ideas about computer systems and social
networks. Online social networks are among the most popular sites on the Web
and continue to grow rapidly. They provide mechanisms to establish
identities, share information, and create relationships. The resulting
social graph provides a basis for communicating and distributing and
locating content. Broadly, the systems issues of social networks include:

- How can systems infrastructure be improved for social networks?
Infrastructure includes database systems, operating systems, file systems,
and storage systems.
- How can the social graph be leveraged in computer system design? The
social graph encodes trust and common interests. How and to what extent can
this encoding be used to improve computer systems?
- How can social networks be modeled and characterized? What has been
learned from the operation of existing systems?

TOPICS OF INTEREST
- Security and privacy.
- Leveraging the social graph in systems design.
- Real-time monitoring and query processing.
- Database issues for offline analysis.
- Experiences with deployed systems.
- Crawlers and other mechanisms for observing social network structure.
- Measurement and analysis, including comparative analysis.
- Tools for designing and deploying social networks.
- Network dynamics, relationships between network links and user behavior.
- Benchmarks, modeling, and characterization.
- Decentralization: methods for integrating multiple networks.
- Application programming interfaces (APIs) for social networks.

The papers presented, as well as a summary of the discussion, will be
archived electronically. Accepted papers may be subsequently revised,
expanded, and submitted to full conferences and journals.
