Search in Social Media (SSM 2008)
A workshop held in conjunction with CIKM 2008
October 30, 2008
Napa Valley, California
http://ir.mathcs.emory.edu/SSM2008/
CALL FOR PAPERS
Social applications are the fastest growing segment of the web. Social media
are a fascinating phenomenon because they establish new forums for content
creation, allow people to connect to each other and share information, and
permit novel applications at the intersection of people and information.
However, whereas in the general web search is a critical application that
drives usability, social media has been primarily popular for connecting
people, not for finding information. While there has been progress on
searching particular kinds of social media, such as blogs, search in others
(facebook/myspace/flickr) are not as well understood.
The purpose of this one-day workshop is to focus the attention of the
research community on this emerging topic, and to bring together information
retrieval and social media researchers and industry players to consider the
following questions: How should we search in social media? What are the
needs of users, and models of those needs, specific to social media search?
What models make the most sense? How does search interact with existing uses
of social media? What works and what doesn't?
We solicit original, unpublished research papers in the following
areas:
- Blog search
- Search in folksonomies / searching tagged data
- Do tags or folksonomies improve search?
- Searching Wikipedia discussions and revision history
- Searching within social networks
- Expert finding within social information networks
- Searching social media for information that is timely, reliable, hot
- Studies of users searching in social media
- Characterizing and understanding the users tasks
- New social search applications
- User tasks for social network analysis
- Searching online discussions, mailing lists, forums
- Searching in community help and question-answering environments
- Interactions between searching and browsing
- Spam in social media
- Adversarial interactions such as vote and digg spam
Research papers should be submitted in PDF format and not exceed 8 pages
including references and figures. Alongside research presentations, the
workshop will feature a keynote address by Andrew Tomkins of Yahoo!, as well
as panels with industry and academic experts to provoke discussion and
debate on the role of searching on the social web. If you would like to be
part of a panel, please submit a 2--4 page position paper describing your
experience and expected contribution. Industry perspectives are especially
welcome.
