Mobile devices have become an imperative component of everyday life,
and their use will only become more intensive in the foreseeable future.
Bell Labs recently predicts that, by 2020, the consumption demand for
digital content and services on mobile and portable devices will see a
global average increase of 30 to 45 times from 2014 levels – with some
markets experiencing as much as a 98-fold jump. This huge demand
stimulates multiple technology developments such as mobile edge
computing, Internet of things, wearables, and crowdsourcing. It also
brings into focus the need for usable security mechanisms that scale.
Meanwhile, as a fundamental part of numerous services including
messaging, gaming, advertising, recommending, commercing, and content
sharing, social networking needs to be provisioned and used via mobile
devices in any place at any time. From 2016 onwards, Facebook had around
one billion monthly active users who accessed Facebook via only mobile
devices. Utilizing the emerging mobile technologies to enable pervasive
and enriched social interactions has become a vital trend. The 12th
Workshop on Hot Topics in Pervasive mObile Social neTworking (HotPOST
2020) aims to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners
who work on mobile computing, social networks, and the intersection of
both, to identify new problems and discuss latest research ideas and
results, especially those related to emerging technologies. HotPOST 2020
focuses on all aspects of mobile and social networking, including
architecture, design, implementation, measurement, modeling, algorithms,
and analysis.<br clear="none"><div><br clear="none"></div><div>The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:</div><ul><li>Mobile-centric social network services</li><li>Location-based social networks</li><li>Mobile edge/fog computing and networking</li><li>Wearable computing</li><li>Mobile online advertising and payment</li><li>Internet of Things, AR/VR, and crowdsourcing</li><li>Measurement of mobile systems and applications</li><li>User behavior analysis in mobile applications</li><li>Usable and scalable security and privacy in mobile systems and social networks</li><li>Reputation, incentives, and economics in mobile systems</li><li>Modeling and algorithm design for mobile systems</li></ul>Authors
are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished
research, not currently under review in other venues, addressing
state-of-the-art research and development in all aspects of mobile
computing, social networks, or the intersection of both. In particular,
innovative, early-stage ideas and preliminary results are welcome. The
length of the paper must be no more than 6 pages in the IEEE
double-column format, including references. The first page must contain
an abstract, the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s). Each
submission will receive at least three independent, single-blind peer
reviews from the program committee. At least one of the authors of every
accepted paper must register and present the paper at the workshop. The
program committee will select one paper for the Best Paper Award.<br clear="none"><div><br clear="none"></div><div><b>Important Dates</b></div>Submission deadline: <b>January 15, 2020 </b> <br clear="none">Acceptance notification: <b>February 15, 2020 </b> <br clear="none">Camera ready due: <b>March 6, 2020</b> <br clear="none">Workshop: <b>TBA </b> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"><b>Organization committee </b><br clear="none"> <br clear="none">TPC chairs<br clear="none"><ul><li>Huber Flores (University of Tartu, Estonia) </li><li>Shaolei Ren (University of California, Riverside, USA)</li></ul>General chairs<br clear="none"><ul><li>Yang Chen (Fudan University, China) </li><li>Lei Jiao (University of Oregon, USA)</li></ul><br clear="none">Publicity chair(s)<br clear="none"><ul><li>Mohan Liyanage (University of Tartu, Estonia)</li></ul>Steering committee<br clear="none"><ul><li>Pan Hui (HKUST, Hong Kong) </li><li>Petteri Nurmi (University of Helsinki, Finland) </li><li>Lei Jiao (University of Oregon, USA)</li><li>Max Mühlhäuser (TU Darmstadt, Germany)</li><li>Jörg Ott (TU Munich, Germany)</li><li>Alessandra Sala (Nokia Bell Labs, Ireland)</li></ul><br clear="none">For more information, please check out https://dps.cs.ut.ee/hotpost2020/index.html <br clear="none"></div><div>------------------------</div><div><br clear="none"></div></div></div></div></div></div>
