The Second International Conference on Computational Aspects of Social
Networks (CASoN-2010) will be held in Taiyuan on 18-20 October,
2010.The conference is hosted by Taiyuan University of Science and
Technology.
Proceedings will be published by IEEE CS Press and indexed by EI and ISTP.

The International Conference on Computational Aspects of Social
Networks aims to bring together social scientists, mathematicians,
computer scientists, engineers, computer users, and students to
exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results
about all aspects (theory, applications and tools) of intelligent
methods applied to Social Network.

Scope: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

􀁺 Neural Networks and Connectionist Models
