Call for Papers
1st IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Data Management, Mining, and
Computing on Social Networks (MobiSocial 2013)
Sunday, June 3, 2013 / Milan, Italy
(colocated with IEEE MDM 2013)
*AIMS & TOPICS OF INTEREST*
Recently, social network research has advanced rapidly with the prevalence
of the online social websites and instant messaging social communications
systems. In addition to utilizing a desktop computer to write blogs, upload
photos and chat with friends, an explosively increasing number of people are
now used to share personal location information to friends on the fly with
mobile devices, thanks to the development of broadband wireless networks and
location sensing technologies. These social network systems are usually
characterized by complex network structures and abundant contextual
information. Moreover, by incorporating the spatial dimension, mobile and
location-based social networks are now immersed in people¡¦s everyday life
via numerous innovative websites, such Facebook Places, Foursquare, Buddy
Beacon, FindMe, Loopt, and Weibo. In addition, mobile social networks can be
exploited to foster many interesting applications and analysis, such as
recommendations of locations and travel planning of friends, location-based
viral marketing, community discovery, group mobility and behavior modeling,
etc.
Researchers are increasingly interested in addressing a wide spectrum of
challenges in mobile social networks to extract useful knowledge, including
identifying common static topological structures and dynamic evolutions of
social networks, and exploiting location-based and contextual information
embedded with mobile social networks to find out useful insights. The
insights can provide important implications on community discovery, anomaly
detection, trend prediction with the applications in many domains, such as
recommendation systems, information retrieval, future prediction, and so on.
In light of the above crucial need, sophisticated data mining and query
processing techniques on both social and spatial dimensions are demanding
for extracting representative information from mobile social network. In
addition, the data generated from social networks and social media streams
at any time in any place have outpaced the capability to process, analyze,
and mining those datasets. It is thus imperative to develop scalable and
efficient algorithms for processing and mining Big Data generated from
mobile social networks. In contrast to other areas in data management and
mining, social and human factors are also important and thereby encouraged
to be properly included in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research
of mobile social networks.
The 1st IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Data Management, Mining, and
Computing on Social Networks (MobiSocial 2013) will serve as a forum for
researchers and technologists to discuss the state-of-the-art, present their
contributions, and set future directions in data management and mining for
mobile social networks.
The topics of interest related to this workshop include, but are not limited
to:
- Graph mining
- Contextual mobile social network analysis
- Storing, indexing and querying of graph data
- Distributed graph processing
- Mobile social interaction and personalization search
- Dynamics and evolution patterns of social networks, trend prediction
- Analysis and mining of location-based social networks
- Classification models and their applications in social recommender
systems.
- Processing of social media stream
- Influence models and their applications in social environment.
- Competitive viral marketing
- Privacy and security in social network
- Modeling trust and reputation in mobile social networks.
- Moving object tracking, indexing and retrieval for social applications
- Location and trajectory mining of social data
- Opinion mining for location related information
- Location privacy, data sharing and security
- Mobile and ubiquitous computing for location-based social networks
- Cloud computing for location-based social data
- Innovative mobile social networking applications
- Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on mobile social networks
