Dear AAAI Members,
I am delighted to announce that AAAI has welcomed a new conference to its ranks -- the International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media. ICWSM, which grew out of a series of workshops and a very successful 2006 AAAI spring symposium, launched its inaugural conference in 2007. It has now forged a formal alliance with AAAI for 2008 and beyond.
ICWSM 2008 will be held in Seattle, Washington at the Seattle Hilton, March 31 -- April 3. The conference will bring together academic and industrial practitioners to present and to discuss new research, applications, thoughts and ideas that are shaping the future of social media analysis. The conference aims to bring together researchers from different subject areas including computer science, linguistics, psychology, statistics, sociology, multimedia and semantic web technologies.
Please note the following important upcoming deadlines:
* Paper Submission: December 3, 2007
* Tutorial Proposals: December 3, 2007
* Poster/Demo Submission: January 6, 2008
For complete submission details, please see
http://www.icwsm.org/2008/.
An impressive line-up of invited speakers will be included in the 2008 program, including Bernardo A. Huberman (HP Labs), who will speak on "Social Dynamics in the Age of the Web;" David Sifry (Founder, Technorati, Sputnik, and Linuxcare); and Brad Fitzpatrick (LiverJournal Founder). In addition, two tutorials are planned, including "Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis" by Jan Wiebe (University of Pittsburgh) and "Graph Mining Techniques for Social Media Analysis" by Mary McGlohon and Christos Faloutsos (Carnegie Mellon University).
For further information, please write to icwsm08 at aaai.org or info at icwsm.org.
Warmest regards,
Carol Hamilton
Executive Director, AAAI

There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
