Vasileios Karyotis, karyotis@ionio.gr (Ionian University - Greece)


Description:
In recent years, social network research has advanced rapidly in various capacities, owing to explosive mobile smart devices and diverse applications. Social network computing is being combined with artificial intelligence, mobile big data, edge computing, crowdsourcing, blockchain, complex network analysis, etc. This year, at ICCCN, we will continue with the track on Social Networks and Computing and look to bringing together researchers in the area of applying computing to social networks. Our scope will include mobile and socially-aware networks, sensing as part of social networks, big data on social networks, cloud integration of social networks, machine learning solutions for social networks, crowdsourcing applications for social networks, social Internet of vehicles, security, privacy and trust in social networks, social-based routing protocols, novel architectures for social networks, information diffusion in online social networks, mobile edge caching in social networks, and any other relevant areas related to social networking and computing. This track seeks original ideas and submissions and will follow the policies as per the main ICCCN conference policies.
