Abstract
Topic 1: Social theory and advanced social network analysis
Social Media is not a Strategy. It is one of the communication tools available. It is a great and potentially personal tool, but the advantages in business intelligence and other e-commerce incentives do not stop there. In this modern era, the term social-ties are all about discovery, as consumers become curators actively broadcasting, remixing, compiling, connecting, sharing and recommending content, products, purchases, experiences. In this talk, I will briefly overview the classical social theory as well as the latest F-Factors. I will aruge that Social Media can be an enabler and an accelerator of existing core capabilities, values, attributes and plans. It can even be a catalyst for change. But it cannot magically create what does not exist. The future of social media will be introduced, and most importantly how data analytics would be applied to reap the most benefits out of them. Case studies of new social media intelligence tools will be described with an example by Gnostech.com. Through examples, I will discuss how the latest Application Programming Interface (API) are used for building learning machines, adaptive holosemantic data space with semiotic capabilities. And survey about the new term 'sense-making capabilities' are observed for semantic discovery, lightweight anthologies, knowledge collaboration, sentiment analysis, AI and data mining, and "Topic-Mapper".
Topic 2: Biologically inspired intelligence and future social network models
In the first decade of the 21st century, new media technologies for social networking such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and YouTube began to transform the social, political and informational practices of individual and institutions across the globe, inviting a philosophical response from the community of applied ethicists and philosophers of technology. The debate arose: From the Social-Lites and Mass Mingling to Data Myning and “Biologically Inspired Intelligence”. Are humans adopting Niche Social Networks or turning into anti-social zombies? In this talk, I will shed light on the paradox of social media and the anticipated trend in social media. We explore the impact of social influence marketing (SIM), social not working (SNW) and social networks fatigues (SNF). Social Media is beginning to make its next evolution by shifting from platforms like Facebook to social enabled websites - essentially these mean niche interests allowing users to share their content would be a critical value-added approach. In order to harvest the niches, several social-oriented visual search models emerge and they are suveyed comparatively here: Grokker, KartOO, Viewzi, Searchme, Quintura, Ujiko, Middlespot, oSKope, Nexplore, EyePlorer, Ziipa, etc, just to compare a few. The new emerging social models hence arise, they are the new advertising metrics and Earned Media. From Machine Intelligence, Social NOT Working, the New Network Self and the “Full Frontal” to Custom Social Platforms, Nexus Points and Expersourcing in this talk I will critically discuss about the possibiities and future trends.

The testing of these research models has been based on the application of many different statistical, computer and mathematical modelling techniques ranging from multidimensional scaling, multinomial logit generalised linear models (GLMs) and linear structural relations to neural networks, ordered probit, simulated annealing, tabu search, genetic algorithms, and fuzzy logic.
