LSNA 2013 - The 2nd International Workshop on Large Scale Network Analysis (LSNA 2013)

Large amounts of network data are being produced by various modern applications at an ever growing speed, ranging from social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, scientific citation networks such as CiteSeerX, to biological networks such as protein interaction networks. Network data analysis is crucial to exploit the wealth of information encoded in these network data. An effective analysis of these data must take into account the complex structure including social, temporal and sometimes spatial dimensions, and an efficient analysis of these data demands scalable solutions. As a result, there has been increasing research in developing scalable solutions for novel network analytics applications.
This workshop will provide a forum for researchers to share new ideas and techniques for large scale network analysis. We expect novel research works that address various aspects of large scale network analysis, including network data acquisition and integration, novel applications for network analysis in different problem domains, scalable and efficient network analytics algorithms, distributed network data management, novel platforms supporting network analytics, and so on.
