Call for Papers Workshop on Dynamic SOcial Networks (DySON) (Co-located with IEEE INFOCOM 2014) May 2, 2014 – Toronto, Canada http://www.netmode.ntua.gr/dyson2014/index.html

Paper submission deadline: December 15, 2013 Notification of acceptance: February 07, 2014 Camera-ready due: February 28, 2014

Social wireless and mobile networks have gained considerable interest over the last five to ten years and have become in many cases the lion's share of wireless businesses. Such networks are now well known as the primal channels for communication between people, means for increasing marketing potentials, tools for enabling social research, and forums for affecting political trends, all of which eventually indicate a more than ever increasing penetration and exploitation of wireless and mobile networks in human lives.

The proposed workshop (DySON) will mainly cover the technical aspects of the interplay between social and wireless mobile networks, and more specifically will focus on original contributions regarding topics, such as structure, behavior, and optimization of social and mobile wireless networks. DySON aspires to raise holistically the awareness of the research and industrial communities in the area of social wireless mobile networks from diverse and broad perspectives and provide a venue for the presentation and dissemination of the latest novel advances in the corresponding field of science. Emphasis will be placed on the interplay between social and mobile wireless networks, aiming at identifying commonalities and complementarities between them, with the final objective of highlighting approaches, properties and features that can be used in order to simultaneously improve their design and operation. Such interplay between social and mobile wireless networks has been lately addressed in the field of Complex Network Analysis (CNA), and DySON, aspires to receive and present the highest quality contributions regarding analysis, control and optimization from the perspective of CNA, thus achieving diversity of application domains (mobile/online social and wireless networks) and promoting the most interesting interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary analytical methodologies.

The workshop will be centered both on formal methods, as well as on noteworthy technical contributions of more practical flavor. Concepts and knowledge from several fields need to be jointly considered to address the corresponding challenges, while opening new frontiers and opportunities in relevant research. CNA and utility maximization already applied in the field of complex networks and socio-aware information networks exhibiting the tight interplay between wireless and social networks, along with the design of communication protocols and respective algorithms are just few indicative examples. DySON aims for papers following the above approach and will be devoted to the presentation of the highest quality ones, thus contributing to creating critical mass in the corresponding literature and further steaming the locomotive of control and optimization in social and mobile wireless networks.

The DySON workshop welcomes contributions that will be mainly involved, but not limited to the following list of topics:

* Interplay between online social networks and wireless communications

* Network Utility Maximization (NUM) for mobile social and wireless networks

* Complex network structure analysis and optimization

* Graph theoretic analysis for mobile complex (social and wireless) networks

* Game theoretic and economic analysis

* Structure of social networks and their influence to the design of advanced wireless networks

* Primal-dual decomposition for complex network algorithms

* Stochastic network optimization

* Cross-layer network optimization

* Topology Control for complex networks

* Social relationship graphs of mobile devices

* Adaptive algorithms for evolving online social and wireless networks

* Resilience and fault-tolerant network optimization

* Social-aware network solutions in wireless communications

* Complexity and approximation of social/mobile network optimization and control techniques

* Optimal content dissemination in complex networks

* Mobile cyber-physical systems
