The Analysis of the Conferences for the Computer Network Using the Miner and the Cosine Similarity based upon Keywords

We have been provided with a plenty of information about IT through the conferences. However, it is hard to find enough information or the latest trends from conferences because there are too many conferences. In this situation, we analyzed the latest trends related to the field of IT by exploiting the Netminer which is one of the software for analysis of social networks and measuring the Cosine Similarity between conferences, based upon keywords which are included in the conferences. We analyzed keywords of 24 conferences related to the computer network part of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in the case of foreign conferences. We also analyze keywords of the KIISE (Korean Institute of Information Scientists and Engineers) conferences in the case of domestic conferences, during 2009-2010. We identified the trends through the frequency of keywords, the change of top 10 keywords ranking and the similarity between conferences.
