OVERVIEW
----------------------------------

The continued growth of online social networks, as well as the increase in consumption and production of social media, have made the analysis of social networks and media one of the most relevant topics of current academic research and industry applications.

SIMBig is one of the first conferences in Latin America grouping related areas, such as Data Science, Machine Learning, Social Network Analysis, and others. Therefore, SIMBig has becoming an important venue that has attracted computer scientist, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers who work on network and web based-methods. Within the general symposium, the Social Network and Media Analysis and Mining (SNMAM) track will provide a forum that brings both researchers and practitioners to discuss research trends and techniques related to Network Science applied on social networks and media data. Moreover, SNMAM welcomes experimental and theoretical works on social network and media analysis and mining along with their application to real world problems.
