Social Networking session at WONS’09
Organizers: J. Crowcroft (U. Cambridge), I. Stavrakakis (U. Athens)

February 2-4, 2009. Snowbird, Utah, USA

This session solicits original, previously unpublished ideas on
completed work, position papers, and/or  work-in-progress papers. We
encourage papers that propose new research directions or could
generate lively debate at the workshop.

Aspects of social networking are to be considered that affect the
design of Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services (WONS),
providing novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling and
performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models,
practical implementations, service level aspects and Internet
integration of wireless networks.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

- Design for “On demand” wireless mobile social networks
- Content dissemination and discovery strategies in wireless-mobile
social networks
- Information sharing and forwarding in wireless-mobile social DTNs.
- Rating, reputation, trust and interest-specification and evolution
in wireless mobile social networks
- Challenges and opportunities posed by mobile social networks
