   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 in   
   erdisciplinary 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   
      
         The Social Networks SAC seeks original contributions in the following   
   topical areas, plus others that are not explicitly listed but are closely   
   related:   
      
   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
