[Air-L] [Social Networks, Deadline Nov. 13] Call for Papers in ICC 2023

[Jui-Yi Tsai]

*SCOPE AND MOTIVATION*



Recently, social network research has advanced rapidly with the prevalence
of online social applications and mobile social communications
systems. Metaverse
has emerged as one of the future Internet for business, socialization,
entertainment, and education in fully connected, immersive, and engaging
online 3D virtual experiences. Nevertheless, 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 its
increasing prevalence and 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 from academia, industry, and government to discuss the
state-of-the-art, present their cutting-edge innovations and contributions,
and set future directions in all aspects of social networks.


The symposium seeks original contributions in the following topical areas,
plus others that are not explicitly listed but are closely related.


   - Artificial Intelligence for social networks and applications
   - Social network analysis on epidemic diagnosis and asymptomatic
   infector tracking for COVID-19 and other pandemic
   - Convergence and interplay between Metaverse and the underlying
   communication networks
   - Infrastructure, platform, protocol design, and optimization for
   mobile social networks, social vehicular networks,
   mobile social clouds, social Internet-of-Things, and new paradigm of
   future social-aware communication networks
   - Social network graph modeling, analysis, measurements, and experiments
   using big data for a better understanding of social network influence,
   reputation, recommendation, and community structure
   - 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 from social networks
   - Innovative social networks 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



The authors of selected papers from this symposium will be invited to
submit an extended version of their work for fast-track review and possible
publication in the IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society
