PAPER SUBMISSION: Go to https://edas.info/N22145 and select the SIoT special session.

The Social Internet of Things (SIoT) (http://social-iot.org) refers to the convergence of the Internet of Things and Social Networking paradigms for the creation of social networks in which things are nodes that establish social links as humans do. This concept is fast gaining ground thanks to the benefits deriving from the potentials of the social networks within the IoT domain, such as: simplification in the navigability of a dynamic network of billions of objects, robustness in the management of the trustworthiness of objects when providing information and services, efficiency in the dynamic discovery of services and information. The preliminary results achieved in this field are encouraging but significant efforts are still needed to develop concrete solutions. Indeed, the application of the SIoT concepts to real data, i.e., mobility patterns and interactions among objects in real applications, needs to extended to different scenarios to evaluate the benefits in terms of network navigability and service discovery. Additionally, the intelligence that the objects should be equipped with to implement the social behavior is sometimes excessive given the devices computation capabilities, so that different levels of social behavior should be defined according to the device characteristics. The effectiveness of the social-based trust evaluation also needs a more precise modelling of the expected malicious behavior of nodes in the IoT. Based on these considerations, this special session is aimed at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to identify and discuss technical challenges, exchange novel ideas and explore enabling technologies that cover a variety of topics in the SIoT domain including, but not limited to: * Topologies of social networks of objects * Social virtual objects in the cloud * Management of smart object links * Applications exploiting the SIoT concepts * Trust of social objects * Navigability in the Social IoT * Ontology for the social relationships * SIoT experimental platforms
