Introduction:
Recent rapid advances in mobile cellular networks and telecommunications
have introduced Opportunistic Mobile Social Networks as an interesting topic
to the research community, one that has started to receive much attention
from practitioners, scholars, and the general public. An opportunistic
mobile social network can be described as a platform that provides services
via hand-held and wireless devices, mainly for the purpose of fostering and
maintaining social interactions and connections. Therefore, an opportunistic
mobile social network can be considered a form of social network where
services are provided with mobility as an added value. Thanks to mobility,
many emergent applications related to social networking are now available
for individuals, business enterprises, and governments.
Objective:
The main goal of this book is to collect the recent development on
theoretical and algorithmic aspects of the opportunistic mobile social
networks. This book will be of particular value to academics, researchers,
practitioners, government officials, business organizations (e.g.,
executives, marketing professionals, resource managers, etc.), and even
customers -- working, participating, or those interested in fields related
to social networks. The content of the book will be especially useful for
students in areas like social networks, informatics, wireless networks, data
mining, and administrative sciences and management, but also applies to
students of education, economy, or law, who would benefit from the
information, cases, and examples therein.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Part I: Social Networks and Complex Networks
* Part II: Opportunistic Networks
* Part III: Opportunistic Mobile Social Networks
* Part IV: Applications
