Abstract
This poster presents preliminary results for examining computer science communities based on Twitter conference hashtags such as #iconference2016. We construct and visualize a computer science conference network based on shared Twitter users. The network is compared with another based on shared publication authors. Results show the two networks are correlated. Both help explain the structure of the computer science community.
