CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on Social Media Visualization (SocMedVis)
at the International AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM'13)

11th July 2013, Boston, USA
http://socmedvis.swansea.ac.uk

Social media study and analysis brings researchers from many fields into a
single setting. Even though the tasks of these researchers are varied, data
visualization and analytics plays an important role. For industry and
academics alike, visualization of social media data helps with hypothesis
formation and supports the explanation of phenomena.
The 2nd Workshop on Social Media Visualization (SocMedVis) will be held in
conjunction with the International AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social
Media (ICWSM'13) in Boston, USA on 11th July 2013. The workshop is a venue
for presentation of research and applications of visualization of social
media data.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and industry
practitioners interested in visual and interactive techniques for social
media analysis to discuss their potential application to the social
sciences, humanities, and industry. We solicit contributions that discuss
novel techniques and applications of visualization and visual analytics
approaches to social media data sources.
