SCOPE

Social Networking has extremely impacted the communication
habits of people on the internet. On the other hand,
increasingly people carry their treasured multimedia content
in small mobile devices like smart phones, PDAs, mp3/dvd
players, memory sticks, cameras, and so forth. Tremendous
interesting customized applications can be imagined with
spontaneous social networking over mobile devices in the
events/locations such as conferences, expositions, galleries,
stadiums, and finally bars and restaurants. Enabling people
to share their experiences, to communicate, and to have
access to the comments of others without need to have
internet access and with minimum required infrastructure
is the main idea behind spontaneous social networking.
Considering, auto-organization, scalability, and distributed
architecture, P2P technology can play the key role in creating
such kind of social networking.
The focus of this special issue is on the P2P spontaneous
social networks. The limited resources on the mobile devices,
the ad hoc wireless network instability, and the mobility
of the nodes raise important challenges. The scalability of
the feeding system, the reliability, data dissemination, and
adaptation to the restrictions in ad hoc networks conditions
can be considered as the main humps in the way. This special
issue invites the original papers in the following topics, not
limited to them:
. P2P communication systems
. P2P IP Telephony protocols
. P2P social networking techniques
. Multimedia social networking: theory and practice
. Social networking over delay tolerant networks (DTNs)
. P2P technologies and network coding
. Scalability of the P2P feeding and alert systems
. Adaptation of P2P overlays for low-mobility ad hoc networks
. P2P communication systems for vehicular systems
. Modeling of P2P communication systems
. Real experiments on P2P social networking and communication systems
. Tagging and indexing in P2P social networks
. Community-based computing
. P2P tracing and monitoring systems
