Forthcoming EU-related events

August 9-11, Annual Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining, Odense, Denmark

The conference will bring together practitioners and researchers from a variety of fields related to social network analysis and mining.

Emerging trends and industry needs are to be discussed, as will experimental and theoretical work on social network analysis and mining along with their application to real life situations. Users increasingly see the internet as a social medium for interaction, the sharing of experiences and knowledge, group activities, community formation and evolution. This has led to a rising interest in social network analysis and mining in academia, politics, security and business. The study of social networks originated in the social and business communities, and has advanced significantly with the development of sophisticated research techniques.

September 17-18, Fourth International Workshops on Foundations and Techniques for Open Source Software Certification, Pisa

Over the past decade, open source software has had a global impact on the way software systems and software-based services are developed, distributed and deployed. OSS has been praised for low development and maintenance costs, rapid code turnover, and reliability. The workshop will bring together researchers from academia and industry who are broadly interested in the quality assessment of open source software projects, ultimately leading to the establishment of coherent certification processes at different levels. Foundational, methodological and pragmatic issues will be addressed through standard technical communications and reports on concrete case studies and experimental data.
