============================================
IEEE CCNC'2011 Workshop on Social Networking (SocNets)
9th January, 2011, Las Vegas, Nevada
http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/
============================================
Social Networks (SocNets) have attracted billions of active users and
this critical mass of users are increasing exponentially. Social
networking applications such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. are
providing valuable social information on contacts and their
relationships. Wired and wireless/mobile devices which are capable of
creating, storing, processing, forwarding and sharing content are
socially connected in a new radical network architecture harnessing
the social behavior and mobility of the users. Thus, SocNets enable
the pervasive connectivity even without the need to maintain fully
connected always-on networks.
Such SocNets communities trigger exciting research interests in
collaborative systems arising from the analysis of the structure and
properties of SocNets. The use of private social information provides
additional avenues for new networking operations --- for example,
problems that allow the exploitation of SocNets to solve network and
system security vulnerabilities, and how these new social network
solutions can shape the design of secured distributed systems and
networks; development of cross-layered architecture for diverse
pervasive applications to distribute user-generated content based on
social relationships and behaviors; etc. It also requires the
cross-disciplinary research integration of computer science and
engineering, biology, physics, anthropology, social sciences, etc.
The goal of this workshop is to catalyze cross-disciplinary research
discussions that are of relevance to new and novel computer networking
ideas, applications and experimental results in the area of SocNets.
We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include
(but are not limited to) the following:
· Implications of social networking on future network architecture
· System design for social networks
· New social science of networks
· Physical and virtual social networks
· Mobile and pervasive social networks
· Real world applications of social network analysis and theory
· New social-inspired content creation and distribution networks
· New aspects of trust, privacy and security in social networks
· Data confidentiality and integrity in social networks
[Guidelines for Submission]
Submitted papers must represent original material that is not
currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not
been previously published. The paper should be used as the basis for a
20 - 30 minute workshop presentation.
Manuscripts should be written in English conforming to the IEEE
standard conference format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column) and not exceed 5
pages in length. Submission of papers should be regarded as a
commitment such that, if accepted, at least one author of the paper
will register and attend the conference; otherwise it will be removed
from the IEEE Digital Library after the conference.
Papers should be submitted in a .pdf or .ps format via EDAS paper
submission website and then selecting the workshop submission link.
A separate cover sheet should show the title of the paper, the
author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including
e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be
sent.
