====================================================================== Workshop on Online Social Networks (WOSN'12) Helsinki, Finland (Friday August 17, 2012) http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2012/wosn12.php ======================================================================
With nearly half the world's population with access to the Internet being present on an Online Social Network, the field has infiltrated most walks of life. A significant fraction of mind-share in the form of applications, diverse access interfaces, and a large economic ecosystem has developed around this field. Going past the simple characterization and enumeration of properties, the networking research community has shown significant interest in attacking various problems associated with OSNs. WOSN'12 will bring together networking researchers and practitioners to discuss the challenges and important questions posed by emerging social applications. Of particular interest are problems related to system architecture design, explosion of new media traffic, and mobile access. WOSN'12 will facilitate cross-disciplinary discussion of relevance to computer networking involving new ideas and applications and experimental results. The workshop solicits original papers on ongoing work as well as position papers. All papers are limited to 6 pages.
- Topics Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Implications of social networking on network design • Network architecture design to support large scale social applications • Search strategies in social networks • Reputation and trust systems • Anonymity and privacy • Economic incentives for privacy • Architecture and design of external OSN applications • Decentralized (ad hoc) network applications and services • Measurement and analysis of online communities
