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

The Social Networks SAC seeks original contributions in the
following topical areas, plus others that are not explicitly
listed but are closely related:

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
