Security and Privacy in Social Networks brings to the forefront innovative approaches for analyzing and enhancing the security and privacy dimensions in online social networks, and is the first comprehensive attempt dedicated entirely to this field. In order to facilitate the transition of such methods from theory to mechanisms designed and deployed in existing online social networking services, the book aspires to create a common language between the researchers and practitioners of this new area- spanning from the theory of computational social sciences to conventional security and network engineering.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 23rd Annual German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, KI-99, held in Bonn, Germany, in September 1999.The volume opens with six full invited survey papers by internationally leading authorities on the subject. The 15 revised full papers and the six short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions received. Besides the established traditional topics addressed, special emphasis is placed on pattern recognition and robotics from an AI point of view.
