The Seventh International Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale
mObile computing and online Social neTworking (HotPOST’15)
June 22, 2015
Hangzhou, China
In conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2015

Nowadays networked mobile devices have become a commodity in people's
daily-life. According to a recent survey published by Walker Sanders,
the percentage of web traffic coming from mobile devices has surpassed
30% in late 2013. To serve users from all over the world, a number of
global (or planet-scale) mobile systems and applications have been
established. Several new technologies, such as mobile cloud
networking, wearable computing, mobile payment, high-throughput
wireless data delivery, and
location-based services, have received
great attentions. In the meanwhile, by attracting more than one
billion users worldwide, online social networks (OSNs) provide a new
venue of innovation with many challenging and practical research
problems. In particular, more and more social network systems have
expanded to mobile platforms. Not to mention those large-scale
mobile-centric social network systems, such as WhatsApp, WeChat,
Snapchat, and Swarm. For both of the academia and industry, how to
utilize the emerging mobile technologies to help people's online
social interactions has become a viable trend.

The Seventh International Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale
mObile computing and online Social neTworking (HotPOST 2015) is
organized with the goal to bring researchers working on the
intersection of mobile and OSN together to present and discuss their
latest research results and ideas, thereby
promoting the development
and evolution of this area. All submissions on mobile platforms and
OSNs related to architecture, design, implementation, simulation,
modeling, analysis and measurement are welcomed. We highly encourage
novel and innovative previously unpublished work, even reporting work
in early stage.

Topics include but are not limited to:

● Mobile-centric social network services
● Location-based social networks (LBSNs)
● Large-scale mobile systems and applications
● Online advertising
● Measurement of mobile systems and applications
● User behavior analysis and modeling in mobile social applications
● Architecture of mobile social systems
● Security and privacy in mobile social systems
● Incentives and economics in mobile social networks
● Mobile-centric Internet architecture
● Mobile cloud networking
● Wearable computing
● Mobile
payment
● Mobile P2P systems

Authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original,
previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another
conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and
development in all areas of mobile/OSN. Papers must be submitted
electronically in EDAS (https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=19625). The
length of papers must be no more than 6 pages, including tables and
figures. The cover page must contain an abstract of about 150 words,
name and affiliation of author(s) as well as the corresponding
author's email and postal address. Each submission will receive at
least three independent blind reviews from the TPC. At least one of
the authors of every accepted paper must register and present their
work at the workshop. The technical program committee will select one
winner for the Best
Paper Award and one winner for the Best Paper
Runner-up. The technical program committee will select one winner for
the *Best Paper Award* and one winner for the *Best Paper Runner-up*.
