   IEEE Global Communications Conference   
   7-11 December 2021   
   Madrid, Spain   
      
   Selected Areas in Communication Symposium: Social Networks Track   
      
   SCOPE AND MOTIVATION   
   Recently, social network research has advanced rapidly with the prevalence of   
   online social applications and mobile social communications systems. Moreover,   
   the ongoing pandemic via contact social networks has caused tremendous human   
   life and economic    
   loss around the world, and infodemic is one of the major social impacts that   
   make people difficult to discriminate trustworthy sources, from false and   
   manipulative information sources. Therefore, researchers are increasingly   
   interested in addressing a    
   wide spectrum of challenges in social networks, such as developing   
   social-aware algorithms for communications systems, identifying the   
   topological common structures and information/influence flows, analyzing the   
   social media and evolutions of social    
   graphs, and exploiting location-based and contextual information embedded in   
   mobile social networks to create innovative applications. Due to the   
   interdisciplinary nature, social networks have also attracted intensive   
   research interests across multiple    
   disciplines, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data   
   analytics, information security and privacy protection, psychology, and   
   marketing. In light of the above crucial needs, Selected Areas in   
   Communication Symposium in Social Networks will    
   serve as a forum for researchers and technologists to discuss the   
   state-of-the-art, present their contributions, and set future directions in   
   social networks.   
      
   TOPICS OF INTEREST   
   - Infrastructure, platform, protocol design, and optimization for mobile   
   social networks, mobile social clouds, and social Internet-of-Things with   
   Artificial Intelligence   
   - Social-aware network solutions and social network influence on (wireless)   
   communications systems   
   - Cross-layer design for social networks and the underlying communications and   
   network platforms, and subsequent new design paradigm for future (wireless)   
   communications   
   - Network graph modeling, measurements, simulations, and experiments   
   - Analysis of dynamics and control of belief, influence, and rumor   
   propagations in the evolutions of social networks   
   - Data mining, machine learning, information retrieval, signal processing, and   
   artificial intelligence in social media and social contexts   
   - Trusted networking, privacy and security, user behaviors and dynamics, and   
   digital right management, for big data in social networks   
   - Innovative social network applications and services to mobile Internet,   
   multimedia networks, mobile-commerce, cyber-physical systems, and their   
   potential social, economic, and cultural impacts   
   - Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on social networks
