SNS 2012 - EuroSys 2012 5th Workshop on Social Network Systems

5th Workshop on Social Network Systems (SNS 2012)

Eiko Yoneki (University of Cambridge), Davide Frey (INRIA), Ian Brown (University of Oxford)

The fifth workshop on Social Network Systems (SNS'12) will gather researchers to discuss novel ideas on the systems issues of online social networks. Online social networks (OSNs) are among the most popular sites on the Web and continue to grow rapidly. The social graph from OSNs provides a basis for communicating, distributing and locating content. The workshop will focus on 1) infrastructure support for social networks (including distributed systems, databases, and storage systems), 2) ways of leveraging social networks in systems design (including managing and online querying of large social graphs), 3) measurement and analysis of existing deployed social networks.
