*** EXTENDED DEADLINE - MAY 21ST ***
Call for short papers:
Words and Networks: Language Use in Socio-Technical Networks (WON 2012)
We solicit short papers for a workshop on research at the nexus of text analysis and network analysis. The workshop will be held at the ACM Web Science 2012 Conference in Evanston, IL, on June 22nd (http://www.websci12.org/).
Workshop webpage: http://people.lis.illinois.edu/~jdiesner/calls/WON_2012.html.
While text analysis and network analysis have evolved into mature yet still quickly advancing fields, new work at their intersection emerges that enhances our understanding of the transformative role that language can play in networks and the relationship between information and networks. By jointly considering text data and network data we can analyze networks along multiple dimensions of human behavior. This has facilitated eminent work on collective problem solving through information propagation, language change, and the adoption of beliefs and sentiments, to name a few areas. The overarching goal with this workshop is to bring together people that bridge the gap between text analysis and network analysis, and to discuss current advances and challenges in this new field.

What and how to submit:
We welcome short papers (2-6 pages) on algorithmic, methodological and applied empirical work that considers text data and network data. We are also interested in computational solutions that support this process.
Please submit your paper EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=won2012). 
Please use the Word or LaTeX templates for WebSci12 for you submission (http://www.websci12.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/WebSci-Proceedings-Templates-2012.zip).

 
Topics of interest include:
-          Semantic network analysis
-          Information networks
-          Mental maps
-          Joint utilization of natural language processing or computational linguistics and network analysis, e.g. in the context of social media analytics
-          Evolution and change of language, trust and reputation in online and offline settings
