The International Conference on Advances in Social Network Analysis and Mining (ASONAM 2011) will primarily provide an interdisciplinary venue that will bring together practitioners and researchers from a variety of SNAM fields to promote collaborations and exchange of ideas and practices. ASONAM 2011 is intended to address important aspects with a specific focus on the emerging trends and industry needs associated with social networking analysis and mining. The conference solicits experimental and theoretical works on social network analysis and mining along with their application to real life situations.

We are honored to invite the following distinguished researchers as keynote speakers in ASONAM 2011.

1. Professor Ming-Syan Chen, National Taiwan University, Taiwan

2. Johnny Engell-Hansen, Head of Operation Unit, Council of the European Union

3. Professor Jiawei Han, University of Illinois at Urbaba-Champaign, USA (Title: Towards Integrated Mining of Multiple Social and Information Networks)

4. Professor Yutaka Matsuo, The University of Tokyo, Japan

5. Professor Philippa Pattison, The University of Melbourne, Australia

6. Arno H. P. Reuser, Chief, Open Source Intelligence, Defence Intelligence and Security Service (Title:A changing nature of warfare requires a change of mindset of defense intelligence and the role of OSINT and social networks therein)
