CALL FOR PAPERS
Elsevier - Computer Communications Journal
Special Issue on
Online Social Networks
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-online-social-networks1/
Submission Deadline: 19 October 2014
Online Social Networks are a massively successful phenomenon, used by
billions of users to interact. Nowadays they are key platforms for,
among others, content dissemination, social and professional networking,
recommendation, scouting, alerting, and political campaigns. The
research interest in OSNs is multi-faceted, and exploits an unmatched
source of large-scale data about the human behavior. It spans a number
of disciplines, across numerous fields in and beyond computer science,
all the way up to the analysis of human social relationships and how
they evolve and mature over time. Moreover, the pervasive presence of
users' mobile devices (e.g., smartphones) has opened new avenues in the
design of mobile social networking services, and in the study of the
interplay between mobility and social interactions. Research in OSN is a
fertile ground also for industry, to develop innovative ideas fostering
the design of the new generation of communication platforms and their
services.
This special issue seeks contributions pushing the state of the art in
all facets of Online Social Networks highlighted above. We also
encourage original work based on an interdisciplinary research (at the
boundary between computer science and humanistic disciplines such as
sociology and anthropology) where quantitative evidence is available
demonstrating the mutual advantage of such an approach. Therefore,
purely methodological papers or papers that do not present quantitative
results with real Online or Mobile Social Networking technologies are
considered out of scope. Moreover, special attention is expected in
interpreting the proposed research results in order to shed light
towards what users may need and wish in terms of novel, practical
services and application.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Design of OSN platforms based on human behavioural models
- Analysis of OSN users' behaviour and its evolution over time
- Comparison of human social behaviour in Online and "offline" Social
Networks, and across OSNs
- Impact of Online Social Networks on human social behaviour
- Analysis of the use of social-networking sites in the urban context
- OSNs for supporting novel, social-oriented applications and services
- Mobile and Location-aware Online Social Networks
- OSN services enabled by the analysis of mobility and social behaviour
- Crowdsourcing for Online and Mobile Social Networks
- Dynamics of trends, information and opinion diffusion in OSN
- Smart recommendations and advertising in Online Social Networks
- Information extraction and search in Online Social Networks
- Privacy in management and analysis of Online and Mobile Social
Networks data
- Privacy, Security, Trust and Reputation in Online Social Networks
- Prevention of misbehaviours (spamming, phishing, ...) in Online Social
Networks
- Modelling of Online Social Networks characteristics and mechanisms
- Graph analysis applied to Online Social Networks
- Complex networks techniques applied to the investigation of OSN
- Data Mining and Machine Learning to gain novel insights on Online
Social Networks
- Novel distributed solutions for designing, supporting and operating
Online Social Networks
- Networking, computation and data infrastructure support for Online
Social Network systems

Instructions for submission
---------------------------
Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under
review by other journals or conferences. If prior work was published in
a conference, the submitted manuscript should include a substantial
extension of at least 35% novel contributions. In this case, authors are
also required to submit their published conference articles and a
summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal
version.
Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at
http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for manuscript
preparation can also be found
(http://www.elsevier.com/journals/computer-communications/0140-3664/guide-for-authors).
To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration
by the Special Issue, the authors should select "Special Issue: OSN"
when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.

Dec. 21, 2014, Maui, Hawaii, In conjunction with COCOA '14
==========================================================
Computing in social network science has recently become one of the
central themes across mathematical science, information and
communication technology, which attracts a significant interest from
researchers in mathematics, computer science, system science, and
social science. The objective of this workshop is to advance and
promote the theoretical foundation, mathematical aspects as well as
applications of social computing.
The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Mathematical modelling and analysis
* Real-world complex systems
* Information retrieval in social contexts, political analysts
* Network structure analysis
* Network dynamics optimization
* Complex network robustness and vulnerability
* Information diffusion models and analysis
* Security and privacy
* Searching in complex networks
* Efficient algorithms
IMPORTANT DATES
------------------
* Paper submission due: July 24, 2014
* Notification of Acceptance: August 21, 2014
* Camera-ready: September 04, 2014
PUBLICATION
----------------
Accepted papers will be published in LNCS - Springer along with main
papers of COCOA 2014. Extended version of selected papers will be
published in a special issue of Computational Social Networks journal
by Springer.
SUBMISSION

ISMP 2018 - INVITATION FOR PRELIMINARY BIDS
The Symposium Advisory Committee of the Mathematical Optimization Society
issues a call for pre-proposals to organize and host ISMP 2018, the
triennial International Symposium on Mathematical Programming.
ISMP is the flagship event of our society, regularly gathering over a
thousand scientists from around the world. The conference is usually held
in or around the month of August. Hosting ISMP provides a vital service to
the mathematical optimization community and often has a lasting effect on
the visibility of the hosting institution. It also presents a significant
challenge. This call for pre-proposals is addressed at local groups willing
to take up that challenge. The tradition would be that only sites outside
of USA and Canada are eligible to host ISMP 2018.
Preliminary bids will be examined by the Symposium Advisory Committee
(SAC), which will then issue invitations for detailed bids. The final
decision will be made and announced during ISMP 2015 in Pittsburgh. Members
of the SAC are
Michael Juenger, Germany <mjuenger@informatik.uni-koeln.de>
Jan Karel Lenstra, The Netherlands (chair) <jkl@cwi.nl>
Jeff Linderoth, USA <linderot@cae.wisc.edu>
Andy Philpott, New Zealand <a.philpott@auckland.ac.nz>
Kim-Chuan Toh, Singapore <mattohkc@nus.edu.sg>
Luis Nunes Vicente, Portugal <lnv@mat.uc.pt>
Preliminary bids should be brief and contain information pertaining to the
(1) location,
(2) facilities,
(3) logistics: accommodation and transportation, and
(4) likely local organizers.
Further information can be obtained from any member of the advisory
committee. Please address your preliminary bids until October 15, 2014 to
Jan Karel Lenstra <jkl@cwi.nl>.
