Call for Paper – The 7th International Workshop on Mobile Data Management, Mining, and Computing on Social Networks (MobiSocial 2022)
Social network and mining research has advanced rapidly with the prevalence of the online social websites and instant messaging social communications systems. In addition, thanks to the recent advances in deep learning, many novel applications with mobile devices and social networks have been proposed and deployed. 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. 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.
The 7th International Workshop on Mobile Data Management, Mining, and Computing on Social Networks (MobiSocial 2022) 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, machine learning and knowledge mining for mobile social networks.
The topics of interest related to this workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Mobile sensing
- Deep learning for mobile social networks
- Blockchain for social networks
- Graph mining
