Workshops of 2007 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on LATEST NEWS:(July 4, 2007) The submission deadline extended to July 15.(May 25, 2007) The workshop submission information information has been added. (April 20, 2007) The workshop web page has been set up. Social media like weblogs, online forums, photo and video sharing services have revolutionized our ways of sharing information and interacting with each other. For example, people can now easily upload, tag, share and find data, text and multimedia via different social media applications, forming communities of friends (or friends of friends), communities of like-minded people, communities of people who behaves similarly (say based on usage patterns), etc. Companies can now collect different types of business intelligence (e.g., product comments) non-intrusively from the blogosphere for setting their own strategies in a more dynamic fashion. The blossom of social media that grows rapidly in past few years opened up a lot of new opportunities in the market. But at the same time it creates new information and knowledge management challenges as the media continues to grow. This workshop solicits original research work addressing fundamental computational issues on the analysis of media which are either hyperlink-structured or social structured and how related solutions and techniques can be applied throughout the information and knowledge management lifecycle (e.g., information gathering, processing, knowledge discovery, retrieval, visualization, reuse, adaptation, etc.) for social media. Topics include (but not limited to):
