Overview

The X Brazilian Workshop on Social Network Analysis and Mining (BraSNAM 2021) will be held in conjunction with CSBC (Congress of the Brazilian Computer Society), which provides a valuable opportunity for multidisciplinary groups to meet and engage in rich discussions about topics related to social network analysis. In 2021, CSBC is under the organization of UFSC and UNIVALI, in Florianópolis, Brazil.

The study of social networks originated in social, educational and business communities, with better theoretical support from the 1940’s on. Today, the increasing use of Web and social media fosters interaction among people, data dissemination and information sharing. With such a growing data availability (provided by people and their interaction, logs and web servers), there are opportunities of evaluating and developing techniques for improving social networks and information over many contexts. Hence, social network analyses and techniques have defined fruitful research fields in academia, politics, security, business, marketing, sciences and many others.

BraSNAM 2021 provides an interdisciplinary venue to bring together practitioners and researchers from social networks and its related fields, to promote collaboration and exchange of ideas and practices.
