while online social network services and applications have found unprecedented presence today (e.g., messaging, gaming, advertising, and recommendation), multiple novel and emerging technologies have already started to shape the next-generation online social networks, including the “metaverse”.on the one hand, augmented/virtual reality (ar/vr), internet of things (iot), and multi-access edge computing (mec) are bringing new mobile computing and communication paradigms for provisioning and accessing online social networks, social media, massive gaming, etc. on the other hand, artificial intelligence (ai) and machine learning (ml), characterized by recent breakthroughs of deep learning and big data, are finding successful applications to online social networks, including detecting/preventing spam, fraud, and misinformation and enhancing service experience via intelligent user interactions (e.g., recognition) with texts, images, and voices. yet, how to exploit and synergize all such state-of-the-art technologies to revolutionize online social networks is still in its infancy and demands comprehensive investigation and research.
the goal of the 2nd international workshop on social and metaverse computing and networking (socialmeta) is to bring together scientists, researchers, engineers, and practitioners to identify new problems and discuss the latest research ideas and results, especially those related to novel and emerging technologies, regarding online social networks and the metaverse. socialmeta focuses on all aspects of online social networks and the metaverse, including architecture, design, implementation, measurement, modeling, algorithm, analysis, and theory. the topics include but are not limited to the following:
authors are encouraged to submit papers describing original and unpublished research, not currently under review in other venues, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all aspects of mobile computing, online social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, 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.
