Selected Areas in Communication Symposium: Social Networks Track

SCOPE AND MOTIVATION
Recently, social network research has advanced rapidly with the prevalence
of online social applications and mobile social communications systems.
Moreover, the ongoing pandemic via contact social networks has caused
tremendous human life and economic loss around the world, and infodemic is
one of the major social impacts that make people difficult to discriminate
trustworthy sources, from false and manipulative information sources.
Therefore, researchers are increasingly interested in addressing a wide
spectrum of challenges in social networks, such as developing social-aware
algorithms for communications systems, identifying the topological common
structures and information/influence flows, analyzing the social media and
evolutions of social graphs, and exploiting location-based and contextual
information embedded in mobile social networks to create innovative
applications. Due to the interdisciplinary nature, social networks have
also attracted intensive research interests across
 multiple disciplines, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, big
data analytics, information security and privacy protection, psychology,
and marketing. In light of the above crucial needs, Selected Areas in
Communication Symposium in Social Networks will serve as a forum for
researchers and technologists to discuss the state-of-the-art, present
their contributions, and set future directions in social networks.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
- Infrastructure, platform, protocol design, and optimization for mobile
social networks, mobile social clouds, and social Internet-of-Things with
Artificial Intelligence
- Social-aware network solutions and social network influence on (wireless)
communications systems
- Cross-layer design for social networks and the underlying communications
and network platforms, and subsequent new design paradigm for future
(wireless) communications
- Network graph modeling, measurements, simulations, and experiments
- Analysis of dynamics and control of belief, influence, and rumor
propagations in the evolutions of social networks
- Data mining, machine learning, information retrieval, signal processing,
and artificial intelligence in social media and social contexts
- Trusted networking, privacy and security, user behaviors and dynamics,
and digital right management, for big data in social networks
- Innovative social network applications and services to mobile Internet,
multimedia networks, mobile-commerce, cyber-physical systems, and their
potential social, economic, and cultural impacts
- Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on social networks
