<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:115%">Semantic
analysis in social networks (SN) is important for applications
such as understanding and enabling social networks, natural
language interfaces and human behaviour on the web, e-learning
environments, cyber communities and educational or online shared
workspaces. These aspects are also important in security,
privacy & identity, opinion mining, sentiment analysis, and
in the larger area of affective computing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;line-height:115%">This
workshop will provide a forum for discussion between leading
names and researchers involved in text analysis and social
networks in the context of natural language understanding,
natural language generation, automatic categorization, topic
detection, emotion analysis, and applications using
computational approaches to process social networks. Besides
methodologies and techniques for SN analysis, we also encourage
the submission of papers that experiment with and describe
applicative contexts in which analysis and detection of
affective aspects are useful and beneficial. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">We would like
to invite researchers to submit their original and unpublished
work to the workshop. Demos of working or under development
systems are encouraged. We hope to cover three main
perspectives: government (e.g., security and criminology),
industry (e.g., marketing), and academic (e.g., theoretical
research related to SNs).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">We are in
negotiations with a journal for a special issue, for selected
papers from the workshop. An invited speaker for the workshop
will be chosen at a later date. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
