We are delighted to announce that 10 research papers from COSMOS have been accepted for presentation at the 17th International Conference on Advances in Social Networks Analysis and Mining (ASONAM 2025) held August 25-28 in Niagara Falls, Canada. This remarkable achievement demonstrates the sustained excellence, innovation, and collaborative spirit of our research team.

ASONAM has grown into one of the premier international conferences in the field, offering an interdisciplinary platform that brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders working on the analysis and mining of social networks. From graph theory and machine learning to real-world applications across business, homeland security, and public health, ASONAM provides a unique forum to explore how network structures shape interactions, communities, and collective behavior.

Having 10 of our studies accepted to this competitive venue is a significant milestone that speaks to the breadth of our contributions. Our papers reflect the diversity of ongoing research at COSMOS, addressing critical issues such as online communities, influence networks, information diffusion, narrative analysis, and the role of social media in shaping public discourse. These studies not only advance the theoretical foundations of social network analysis and mining but also deliver practical insights with real-world relevance.

This accomplishment is also a collective recognition of the dedication and creativity of our cosmographers. Each paper embodies countless hours of rigorous research, collaboration across disciplines, and a commitment to producing knowledge that informs both academia and society. The strong representation of COSMOS at ASONAM 2025 reinforces our position as a global leader in social network research and underscores our mission to develop tools, methods, and insights that address the challenges of today’s digitally connected world.

We look forward to sharing these works in our upcoming newsletters.
