Special Issue of
ACM/Springer Journal of "Personal and Ubiquitous Computing (PUC)"
on Cross-Community Mining
People now live in heterogeneous social communities within cyber-physical
spaces - both online communities and social networks where digital content
is exchanged, and ad hoc physical communities that exploit opportunistic
relationships between pairs of networked devices to exchange content.
These communities have distinct technical features which lead to distinct
kinds of interaction - such as patterns of comments and likes in online
communities and co-location in ad hoc communities, or issues of friendship,
trust and influence in online communities and social popularity and movement
patterns in ad hoc communities.
Rather than viewing online communities and ad hoc communities as competing,
we see them as complementary and suggest that cross-community mining (CCM)
can connect these two communities by revealing hidden knowledge about the
interplay between different communities and patterns of social interaction
within and between them.
This theme issue of Personal and Ubiquitous Computing provides the
opportunity for researchers and product developers to review and discuss the
state-of-the-art and trends of CCM techniques and applications. Papers on
theoretical, practical, methodological issues in Cross-Community Mining are
welcome.
*Topics may include (but are not limited to):
-Inclusive Design Issues related to CCM
-Forming Online Communities with Knowledge from Ad hoc Community -Enhancing
Communications in Ad hoc Community with Online Community Knowledge
-Knowledge Integration/Transfer among Communities -Infrastructure Support
for CCM (managing heterogeneous/multi-dimensional data, seamlessly switch
among distinct communities, etc.) -Evaluation Metrics for CCM
