SNAMS 2019
Social network analysis is concerned with the study of relationships between social entities. The recent advances in internet technologies and social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, have created outstanding opportunities for individuals to connect, communicate or comment on issues or events of their interests. Social networks are dynamic and evolving in nature; they also involve a huge number of users. Frequently, the information related to a certain concept is distributed among several servers. This brings numerous challenges to researchers, particularity in the data mining and machine learning fields. The purpose of International Conference on Social Networks Analysis, Management and Security (SNAMS-2019) is to provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss their work which is related to social network analysis. The SNAMS 2019 is col-located with the 6th International Conference on Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS2019).
SNAMS 2019 aims to investigate the opportunities and in all aspects of Social Networks. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigating SNAMS challenges. That is, the objective of SNAMS 2019 is to provide the opportunity for students, scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Social Networks.


SUBMISSION

Papers selected for presentation will appear in the SNAMS Proceedings and will be submitted to IEEE for inclusion. Papers can be up to 8 pages in IEEE format, 10pt font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format, single space, A4 format.
