The International Workshop on Sentiment Analysis and Mining of Social Networks (SAMSN 2020) http://emergingtechnet.org/SAMSN2020/ In conjunction with The Seventh International Conference on Social Networks Analysis, Management and Security(SNAMS-2020) Paris, France. December 14-16, 2020. *SAMSN 2020 CFP:* When the first Social Networks were introduced in the beginning of this century, they were able to gain the attention of the whole world, and since then, more and more social networks have risen and have become increasingly popular and significantly effective. They have been able to change the way we live forever and how we interact with each other and with the environment. The world has become more and more connected. Nowadays, social networks are everywhere, and they play an important role in various aspects of our lives. With the rise of the era of social networks, many opportunities and challenges have appeared on the scene including but not limited to big data handling, security and privacy issues in social networks, the use of sentiment analysis and opinion mining in these rich environments, data analytics, recommender systems, and legal and ethical issues related to the offensive use of these environments. The objective of this workshop is to shed light upon all the issues, opportunities, challenges, and future trends that are related to online social networks. Authors are invited to submit their original work, which is not submitted elsewhere, to this workshop. The accepted papers of the workshop will be published by the IEEE Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and will be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE-Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society (CSDL) digital libraries. The International Conference on Social Networks Analysis, Management and Security (SNAMS-2020) aims to provide a forum that brings together researchers, industry practitioners and domain experts for discussion and exchange of ideas on the latest theoretical developments in Data Science and Computing as well as on the best practices for a wide range of applications. The topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to: - Social Networks Mining and Analysis - Social Networks Architecture - Social networks Data Representation and Visualization - Big Data and Social Networks - IOT and Social Networks - Cloud Mining tools and Services for Social Networks Data - Geolocation aspects of Social networks - Impact of Social Networks on Society - Social Networks Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Minings - Information Retrieval for Social Networks - Multilingual Natural Language Processing Tools for Social Networks - Machine Learning with Social Networks - Recommender systems Applications in Social Networks *Submissions Guidelines and Proceedings* Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format (IEEE Templates <https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html>). All papers should be in PDF format, and submitted electronically at Paper Submission Link. A full paper must not exceed the stated length (including all figures, tables and references).
