1st International Temporal Web Analytics Workshop (TWAW)

In conjunction with International World Wide Web Conference (WWW2011) in Hyderabad, India.

March 28, 2011, Hyderabad, India


Objectives
The objective of this workshop is to provide a venue for researchers of all domains (IE/IR, Web mining etc.) where the temporal dimension opens up an entirely new range of challenges and possibilities. The workshop’s ambition is to help shaping a community of interest on the research challenges and possibilities resulting from the introduction of the time dimension in Web analysis.

TWAW focuses on temporal data analysis along the time dimension for Web data that has been collected over extended time periods. A major challenge in this regard is the sheer size of the data it exposes and the ability to make sense of it in a useful and meaningful manner for its users. Web scale data analytics therefore needs to develop infrastructures and extended analytical tools to make sense of these.

8.30 - 9.00 Welcome and Introduction to the Workshop (Julien Masanes)

9.00 - 10.00 Keynote: "Temporal Analytics in Online Social Networks" by Ravi Kumar

"Online social networks are characterized by their dynamic nature and the phenomena that arise from of it. We study a few temporal properties associated with social networks, focusing on their structural characteristics. We also address the data-driven modeling of the evolution of such networks, contrasting it with that of the Web."

10.00 - 10.30 Break

10.30 - 12.30 Temporality of Web contents

- Marilena Oita and Pierre Senellart
